Abstract: Physiologically-acceptable 3-aminosydnonimines of the formula ##STR1## and their pharmacologically-acceptable acid-addition salts, when formulated into medicament dosage forms, are useful for reducing systemic blood pressure, pulmonary artery pressure and left ventricular end diastolic pressure when orally administered to patients in need of such pressure reduction. These compounds are prepared by cyclizing a compound which, in its free-base state, is of the formula ##STR2## to a corresponding product which, in its free-base state, is of the formula ##STR3## and, when R.sup.2 is other than -H, acylating that product.

Abstract: Pharmacologically-active 3-aminosydnonimines (which are optionally substituted in the N.sup.6 -position) and their physiologically-acceptable acid-addition salts are compounded into standard dosage-form medicament compositions and are useful for prophylaxis for and treatment of cardiovascular-system disorders, such as high blood pressure and angina pectoris. The 3-aminosydnonimines are 3-[4-(lower alkoxy)carbonylpiperazin-1-yl]sydnonimines and 3-[N-(lower alkyl)-N-(tetrahydro-3-thienyl S,S-dioxide)]-sydnonimines.

Abstract: In a process for preparing isosorbide-5-nitrate, isosorbide is reacted with an aliphatic carboxylic acid, with the formation of an acylation mixture. The acylation mixture is then nitrated, and the resulting nitration mixture is hydrolyzed and/or transesterified in order to split off acyl groups. The product is used in treatment of angina pectoris.
