Abstract: Compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which W is quinolyl or lower alkyl quinolyl;A is alkylene of 1 to 6 carbon atoms;R is phenyl, halophenyl, lower alkoxy phenyl or lower alkyl phenyl;Or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, are hypotensive and bradycardial agents.

Abstract: Novel piperidine compounds and their use in treatment of disorders and diseases of the cardiovascular system and/or in the treatment of superficial and deep allergic phenomena is described. These compounds are piperidine compounds linked by the nitrogen atom to cycloalkyl or a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl radical through the intermediary of a lower-alkylene radical. The piperidine ring is further substituted by an acylamino residue.

Abstract: A group of heterocyclic compounds useful in the treatment of disorders and diseases of the cardiovascular system is described. These compounds are piperidine compounds linked by the nitrogen atom to a methylenedioxyphenyl or an ethylenedioxyphenyl radical through the intermediary of a group selected from a mono-keto lower alkylene radical or a hydroxy-lower-alkylene radical or a bivalent radical of the formula ##STR1## or --O--(lower alkylene). The piperidine rings are further substituted by a benzamido residue.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions containing a group of heterocyclic compounds and their use in treatment of disorders and diseases of the cardiovascular system and/or in the treatment of superficial and deep allergic phenomena is described. These compounds used in the composition and/or methods are piperidine compounds linked by the nitrogen atom to a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, aryl or heterocyclic radical through the intermediary of a group selected from a lower-alkylene radical, a monoketo lower-alkylene radical or a hydroxy-lower-alkylene radical, or a bivalent radical of the formula --NH.CO.(CH.sub.2).sub.n -- where n is 1, 2 or 3, ##STR1## or --0-(lower-alkylene)--. The piperidine ring is further substituted by an acylamino residue.

Abstract: A group of benz[g]indolyl compounds useful in the treatment of disorders and diseases of the cardiovascular system is described. These are piperidine compounds linked by the nitrogen atom to a substituted or unsubstituted benz[g]indolyl radical through the intermediary of a lower-alkylene radical. The piperidine rings are further substituted by an acylamino residue.

Abstract: A group of heterocyclic compounds useful in the treatment of disorders and diseases of the cardiovascular system is described. These compounds are piperidine compounds linked by the nitrogen atom to a halogen-substituted or unsubstituted phenyl radical through the intermediary of a ##STR1## GROUP WHEREIN N IS AN INTEGER FROM 1 TO 4, AND Ar represents phenyl or halophenyl. The piperidine rings are further substituted by a benzamido residue.

Abstract: A group of heterocyclic compounds useful in the treatment of disorders and diseases of the cardiovascular system and/or in the treatment of superficial and deep allergic phenomena is described. These compounds are piperidine compounds linked by the nitrogen atom to a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl radical through the intermediary of a group selected from a lower-alkylene radical, a mono-keto lower alkylene radical or a hydroxy-lower-alkylene radical, or a bivalent radical of the formula ##EQU1## or --O--(lower-alkylene)-. The piperidine rings are further substituted by a benzamido, substituted benzamido or cyclohexylcarboxamido residue.
