Abstract: Compounds of the formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen or fluorine atom, and R.sub.2 represents an alkyl group containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms, or a cycloalkyl or cycloalkyl-alkyl group containing 5 to 8 carbon atoms, each of these groups being substituted by one or two hydroxy groups or an oxo group and, if desired, also by a 4-(m-trifluoromethylphenyl)-piperazino or 4-(3-trifluoromethyl-4-fluoro-phenyl)-piperazino group with the proviso that, when R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, R.sub.2 does not represent a monohydroxyalkyl group, and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are novel and have therapeutic use, notably in the region of the central nervous system and in the cardiovascular region.

Abstract: (Carboxymethylthio)acetic acid and its salts provide a mucolytic effect, and the calcium and magnesium salts are of special interest for the field of immune response reactions.

Abstract: 4-Chromanone derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents alkyl of 1 through 6 carbon atoms or alkoxyalkyl of 2 through 6 carbon atoms, are new compounds possessing pharmacological properties and are useful inter alia as vasodilators.

Abstract: 1-Hydroxy-4-(3'-m.menthen-4'-yl)-benzene, 1-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-(3'-m.menthen-4'-yl)-6-isopropyl-benzene and their sulfonates have antiviral activity against influenza virus and antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract: S-substituted cysteines, alkyl esters of S-substituted cysteines and S-substituted glutathiones in which the substituent on the S atom is allyl, geranyl, cinnamyl, benzylidene-3-butyl, 1-(para-chlorophenyl)ethyl and (pyridyl-3)methyl but excluding S-allyl cysteine bring about a reduction in atheromatic deposits in the aorta of test animals as well as a reduction in hypercholesterolemia and are of low toxicity. They may be used by the conventional routes for the treatment of human atheromatic conditions and disorders of the lipid metabolism.
