Abstract: New medical use for gamma-butyrobetaine is disclosed. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions, containing gamma-butyrobetaine or combination thereof with 3-(2,2,2-trimethylhydrazinium)propionate or sildenafil for oral, parenteral, subcutaneous, transdermal, topical, sublingual, intrauretral, intranasal or rectal application, useful for stimulation of sexual activity and potency in mammals. The disclosed compositions, when applied orally for 6 weeks to non-narcotized male rats substantially increase their sexual activity, decreasing the arousal time, increasing the number of copulations and resultativeness of mounting attempts. When applied by intracavernous or intravenous mute said pharmaceutical compositions increase intracorporeal pressure and duration of erection, as well as restore stimulation-induced reflectory erection in narcotized animals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydroxyl radical scavenger and a remedy composition for a disease caused by a hydroxyl radical, which each comprise, as an active ingredient, a betaine represented by the formula (1):(CH.sub.3).sub.3 N.sup.+ (CH.sub.2).sub.n COO.sup.- (1)wherein n is an integer of 1-5, or an acid-addition salt or ester salt thereof. The betaine is useful in treating a disease caused by a hydroxyl radical, in particular, cardiopathy.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition containing 3-(2,2,2-trimethylhydrazinium)propionate and .gamma.-butyrobetaine with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases is disclosed. The composition may be for oral, parenteral, subcutaneous or rectal administration and exhibits low toxicity and a wide interval of therapeutic action safety.
