Abstract: The invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of 13,14-dihydro-15 (R)-17-phenyl-18,19,20-trinor-PGF.sub.2.alpha. isopropyl ester of the formula (I)--wherein R stands for saturated or unsaturated straight, branched or cyclic C.sub.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel interfuranylene-prostacyclin derivatives of the general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 stands for hydrogen or a straight or branched chain C.sub.1-6 alkyl group, an inorganic cation or for the protonated form of a base containing an amino group;R.sup.2 stands for hydrogen, a C.sub.1-4 alkanoyl or benzoyl group, a monosubstituted benzoyl, trialkylsilyl or an alkoxyalkyl group;R.sup.3 stands for a straight or branched chain C.sub.1-6 alkyl group, a phenyl group optionally substituted by halogen or by a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group, a heteroaryl group optionally substituted by halogen or by a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group;A stands for an ethylene or for a cis- or trans-vinylene or --C.tbd.C-- group;B means a chemical bond, a --CHR.sup.5 --, --CHR.sup.5 --CH.sub.2 -- or a --CH.sub.2 --O-- group: andR.sup.5 means hydrogen or a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula ##STR1## are disclosed wherein R.sup.1 stands for hydrogen, C.sub.1-4 straight or branched alkyl or pharmacologically acceptable cation,R.sup.2 stands for hydrogen, C.sub.1-4 alkanoyl, benzoyl, or benzoyl substituted by C.sub.1-4 alkyl or halogen, and R.sup.2 can further represent tetrahydropyranyl, trialkylsilyl or alkoxyalkyl,A stands for ethylene, cis or trans-vinylene or --C.dbd.C--,n may represent 2, 3 or 4. The compounds are highly effective in the inhibition of thrombocyte aggregation while at the same time exert only a very small hypotensive effect.

Abstract: New PGI.sub.1 derivatives are disclosed as well as a process for the preparation thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing same and methods of treatment employing same. The new compounds are useful to inhibit blood platelet aggregation induced by ADF, arachidic acid, or collagen, as well as to improve blood circulation and to inhibit gastric acid secretion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of novel 4-oxo-PGI.sub.2 derivatives of formula I ##STR1## where (a) compounds of formula III ##STR2## are oxidized, then the obtained 5-substituted-4-oxo-PGI.sub.1 derivatives of general formula II ##STR3## are eliminated by the splitting off of the W-H-molecule, or (b) the compounds of formula IV ##STR4## are reacted in a solvent in the presence of a catalyst with compounds of general formula V ##STR5## then the obtained compounds of formula I are transformed if desired by saponification, hydrolysis, salt formation, insertion of a protection group to another compound which belongs to the compounds of formula I, too.The pharmaceutical products of the invention can be used for the treatment of circulatory diseases, they inhibit the aggregation of blood plaques, dilate the bronchi and inhibit the secretion of gastric acid.

Abstract: New PGI.sub.2 derivatives and a process for their preparation are disclosed of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein Q is hydrogen, a pharmacologically acceptable cation, or lower alkyl;A is cis or trans --CH.dbd.CH--, --C.tbd.C--, or --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --;R.sup.13 is hydrogen or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkanoyl or is a blockinggroup of the formula R.sup.7 R.sup.8 R.sup.9 Si or ##STR2## wherein R.sup.7, R.sup.8 and R.sup.9 are the same or different and can be straight or branched chain alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R.sup.10 and R.sup.11 are the same or different and can be hydrogen or methyl, and R.sup.12 represents methyl or ethyl, or is tetrahydropyran-2-yl;R.sup.4 is hydrogen or lower alkyl inthe .alpha. or .beta. steric position;R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each hydrogen or lower alkyl;Y is methylene, oxygen or an --NH-- group; andR.sup.3 is lower alkyl or phenyl which can be monosubstituted phenyl.
