Abstract: This invention relates to novel interphenylene 9-thia-11-oxo-12-azaprostanoic acid compounds, salts, and derivatives thereof. These compounds have prostaglandin-like biological activity and are particularly useful as renal vasodilators, as platelet aggregation inhibitors, and for the treatment of certain autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: There are disclosed novel compounds described as aminoalkyl benzofuran derivatives in which the aminoalkyl benzofuran is connected to a guanidine moiety or functional equivalent thereof through a linear connecting group. Processes for the preparation of such compounds are also disclosed. The compounds are useful for the suppression of gastric acid secretions in mammals and compositions for such uses are also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel interphenylene 9-thia-11-oxo-12-azaprostanoic acid compounds, salts, and derivatives thereof. These compounds are exceptionally potent renal vasodilators and antihypertensives which are active when administered orally but which have a more specific type of biological activity than that of many of the natural prostaglandins and their synthetic analogs or derivatives.

Abstract: Novel interphenylene derivatives of 11,12-secoprostaglandins are prepared by the stepwise alkylation of the ethyl ester or the t-butyl ester of acetoacetic acid. One such method involves treatment of the t-butyl ester of acetoacetic acid with a strong base to form the anion followed by treatment with ethyl p-(3-bromopropyl)benzoate to produce ethyl 4-(4-tert-butoxycarbonyl-5-oxo-hexyl)benzoate, subsequently reacting the anion of the thus-formed benzoate with 1-chloro-4-acetoxynonane to produce ethyl 4-(4-acetyl-4-tert-butoxycarbonyl-8-acetoxytridecyl)benzoate followed by decarboxylation and alkaline hydrolysis to produce the desired product 4-(4-acetyl-8-hydroxytridecyl)benzoic acid which is useful as a pharmaceutical in the treatment of patients with renal failure and in the prevention of transplant rejection.

Abstract: This invention relates to 9-thia- , 9-oxothia, and 9-dioxothia-11,12-seco-prostaglandins and processes for their manufacture. These compounds have prostaglandin-like biological activity and are particularly useful for the treatment of skin diseases such as psoriasis, for the prevention of thrombus formation, in stimulating the production of growth hormone in intact animals, and as regulators of the immune response.

Abstract: This invention relates to 9-thia-, 9-oxothia, and 9-dioxothia-11,12-seco-prostaglandins and processes for their manufacture. These compounds have prostaglandin-like biological activity and are particularly useful for the treatment of skin diseases such as psoriasis, for the prevention of thrombus formation, in stimulating the production of growth hormone in intact animals, and as regulators of the immune response.

Abstract: This invention relates to aryloxy-, alkoxy-, arylthio-, and alkylthio-11,12-seco-prostaglandins and to processes for their manufacture. These compounds have prostaglandin-like activity and are particularly useful in fertility control such as for estrus synchronization in animals and postcoital contraceptive agents in humans.

Abstract: Interphenylene 8-aza-9-dioxothia-11,12-secoprostaglandins are prepared by the two-stage alkylation of the anion of a lower alkyl sulfonamide, R.sup.1 SO.sub.2 NH.sub.2, using first a compound of the formula: ##STR1## and second, a compound of the formula: ##STR2## The compounds produced have renal vasodilatory activity when administered orally and are therefore useful for treating patients with renal impairment.

Abstract: This invention relates to 11,12-secoprostaglandins and processes for their manufacture. These compounds have prostaglandin-like biological activity and are particularly useful as renal vasodilators, for the treatment of hypertension, for the prevention of thrombus formation, in preventing gastric secretion, and as regulators of the immune response.

Abstract: Novel 8-aza-9-dioxothiaprostanoic acid compounds, their salts, and derivatives, are prepared from ethyl 7-(3-hydroxymethyl-2-isothiazolidinyl)-5-heptynoate S,S-dioxide by first hydrogenating the triple bond over a Lindlar catalyst, followed by mild oxidation, to produce the corresponding 3-formyl compound, which is condensed with the ylide prepared from dimethyl-(2-oxoheptyl)phosphonate to produce the .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated ketone, followed by reduction to the corresponding carbinol, and ester hydrolysis. The compounds are useful especially for the treatment of patients with poorly functioning kidneys, as hypotensives, or as platelet aggregation inhibitors.
