Abstract: Penicillamine compounds of the formula: ##STR1## and of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, A and B are as defined hereinafter, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are disclosed. II are the products of hydrolysis or alcoholysis of I, and I are in turn the products of dehydration of II or alcohol removal form II. I and II are useful for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract: Thienodiazepines of the formula: ##STR1## wherein Ar is mono- or di-substituted phenyl [the substituents(s) being H, halogen, C.sub.1.sub.-4 alkyl or C.sub.1.sub.-4 alkoxy] or pyridyl; R.sup.1 is H or C.sub.1.sub.-4 alkyl; R.sup.2 is H, halogen or C.sub.1.sub.-4 alkyl; or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 combinedly form -(CH.sub.2).sub.4 -; each of R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 is C.sub.1.sub.-4 alkyl, or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 together with the adjacent nitrogen atom form a heterocyclic group; A is C.sub.2.sub.-4 alkylene; and n is an integer of zero and 1; and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are disclosed. They are useful as analgesics.
