Abstract: A breakage-resistant form of separatory funnel or other laboratory glassware, such as addition funnel, flask, buret, or chromatography column, is provided. The glassware features an unbreakable plastic stem, preferably removably attached, below the glass stopcock in place of the usual glass stem.

Abstract: The invention provides novel 5-hydroxy-4-aryl- and 5-hydroxy-4-(arylthio)-2(5H)-furanones of the following structure: ##STR1## wherein R contains from about five to about twenty carbon atoms and is defined herein; X is oxygen, sulfur, SO.sub.2, NH, N(lower alkyl), N(lower acyl), aminocarbonyl, carbonyl, carbonylamino, CH.sub.2 or a carbon-carbon bond; Y is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, nitro, alkylthio, perfluoroalkyl, hydroxy, or lower alkoxy(C.sub.1 -C.sub.8); Z is sulfur or a carbon-carbon bond; and Q is H, an alkyl of from 1-20 carbon atoms, COR', COOR', CONHR', PO(OR')2, PO(OR')R" wherein R' and R" are independently selected from the group consisting of H, an alkyl of from 1-20 carbon atoms, phenyl, and substituted phenyl and prodrugs thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the synthesis of compounds of the formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 -R.sub.5 are as defined herein. The process is a multistep process which comprises acylating a 2-benzoxazolinone with an alkanoic anhydride to form an acylated carbamate, hydrolyzing the carbamate, reacting the resultant aminophenol with haloalkanoyl halide to form a substituted benzoxazine, reacting the benzoxazine with an aldehyde, alkylating the resultant aminomethyl compound with an alkylating agent to form a quaternary ammonium salt, reacting the salt with an alkali metal cyanide to form a nitrile, hydrolyzing the nitrile and reacting the resultant carboxylic acid with hydrazine.The compounds are useful as cardiotonic and vasodilating agents and as inhibitors of phosphodiesterase fraction III and platelet aggregation. In addition, the compounds are active as smooth muscle relaxants and bronchodilators.

Abstract: The present invention relates to substituted hydroxyureas. These compounds inhibit the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase. In addition, certain of the compounds also inhibit the enzyme-cyclooxygenase. The compounds are useful for treating asthma, allergies, arthritis, posoriasis, ischemia, dermatitis, inflammation and/or broncho-constriction and/or inflammatory diseases of the eye.

Abstract: 1H-1,2,4-thiadiazolo[3,4-b]quinazolin-5-one-2,2-dioxides are disclosed. These compounds are useful as caridotonic agents. A preferred compound is 7-(n-cyclohexyl-N-methyl-4-amino-4-oxobutyloxy)-1H-1,2,4-thiadiazolo[3,4-b ]quinazolin-5-one-2,2-dioxide.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of aryl hydrazines and indazoles by reacting organometallic regents with azodicarboxylates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cinnamohydroxamic acids. These compounds inhibit 5-lipoxygenase and are useful as bronchodilators.
