Abstract: Aryl, alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl macrolides of the general structural Formula I: ##STR1## have been prepared from suitable precursors by oxidation and alkylation at C-4" of the cyclohexyl ring. These macrolide immunosuppressants are useful in a mammalian host for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and/or the prevention of rejection of foreign organ transplants and/or related afflictions, diseases and illnesses.

Abstract: Aryl and heteroaryl macrolides of the general structural Formula I: ##STR1## have been prepared from suitable precursors by olefination at C-27. These macrolide immunosuppressants are useful in a mammalian host for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, the prevention of rejection of foreign organ transplants and/or related afflictions, diseases, and illnesses.

Abstract: Method for increasing resistance to gastro-intestinal irritation, and for the treatment of pain, fever, inflammation, arthritic conditions, asthma, allergic disorders, skin diseases, cardiovascular disorders, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, glaucoma or other prostaglandin and/or leukotriene mediated diseases comprising the administration to a subject in need of such treatment, a non-toxic therapeutically effective amount of compound of formula I: ##STR1##

Abstract: 3-Hydroxyazabenzo[b]thiophene derivatives having optionally 2-aryl, 2-aralkyl, 2-alkyl or 2-alkenyl substituents were prepared by, among other methods, ring closure of an appropriately substituted benzylthio-alkoxycarbonyl-pyridine. These compounds are found to be useful in the treatment of pain, fever, inflammation, arthritic conditions, asthma, allergic disorders, skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic eczema, cardiovascular disorders, inflammatory diseases and other leukotriene mediated diseases.

Abstract: Positions 7- and/or 6-substituted 1,2,3,4,4a,9b-Hexahydro-8-hydroxydibenzofuran-3-ols and analogs of that general structure are described.These compounds are found to be potent inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme crucial to the biosynthesis of leukotrienes and useful in the treatment of a variety of inflammatory conditions.

Abstract: Certain trans-2,3-disubstituted-2,3-dihydro-5-hydroxybenzofurans are described. The synthesis involves an intramolecular Michael addition to yield the thermodynamic trans isomer. The compounds were found to be inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme crucial to the biosynthesis of leukotrienes and useful for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: There are disclosed phospholipid analogs which are useful as PAF synthesis inhibitors. These compounds inhibit PAF (platelet-activating factor) biosynthesis and are thereby useful in the treatment of various diseases or disorders mediated by the PAF such as, for example, pain, fever, inflammation, cardiovascular disorder, asthma, lung edema, allergic disorders, skin diseases, psoriasis, and adult respiratory distress syndrome.

Abstract: N-Alkenyl-3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide derivatives have been prepared by:(1) treating a substituted 2-halobenzoate with thioacetamide followed by N-alkenylation with appropriate agents, such as aldehydes, ketones, enol ethers, epoxides, acetals or ketals;(2) treating a substituted thiosalicylate with an appropriately substituted haloacetamide, followed by dehydration; and(3) further synthetic modification of compounds prepared above.These compounds have been found to be effective inhibitors of both cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase and thereby useful in the treatment of pain, fever, inflammation, arthritic conditions, asthma, allergic disorders, skin diseases, cardiovascular disorders, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, glaucoma or other prostaglandins and/or leukotriene mediated diseases.
