Abstract: Compounds of the general formula (I): ##STR1## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 may be the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a nitro group, a halogen atom or a group of the formula --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 or --OR.sub.4 ; in which the groups R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 may be the same or different and each represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl, alkenyl or cycloalkyl group (which alkyl group may optionally be substituted by alkoxy, hydroxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino or aryl groups) or R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 together with the nitrogen atom form a heterocyclic ring which may optionally contain additional hetero atoms, e.g. morpholino or piperazinyl; and R.sub.6 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group.These compounds have biological activity, particularly in inhibiting the release of spasmogenic substances arising as a consequence of antigen-antibody reactions.

Abstract: Compounds of the general formula: ##SPC1##Wherein X represents a 5-[1H]-tetrazolyl group, R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group or a group --OR.sub.2, (in which R.sub.2 may be a lower alkyl or alkenyl group containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms optionally substituted by one or more hydroxy groups, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, an alkoxy group or a dialkylamino group) or a group --NR.sub.3 R.sub.4, in which R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 which may be the same or different, represent a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, optionally substituted by a hydroxy group, or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 together with the nitrogen atom may form a ring which may optionally be substituted with another heteroatom and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.These compounds have useful immunological activity and inhibit the release of spasmogen mediators.

Abstract: The compound 5,5'-[(2-hydroxytrimethylene)dioxy]bis[2(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)chromone] and non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.This compound inhibits the release of spasmogen from antibody-antigen reactions.

Abstract: Compounds of the general formula (I): ##SPC1##in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 may be the same or different and each represents a hdyrogen atom, an alkyl group, a nitro group, a halogen atom or a group of the formula --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 or --OR.sub.4 ; in which the groups R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 may be the same or different and each represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl, alkenyl or cycloalkyl group (which alkyl group may optionally be substituted by alkoxy, hydroxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino or aryl groups) or R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 together with the nitrogen atom form a heterocyclic ring which may optionally contain additional hetero atoms, e.g. morpholino or piperazinyl; and R.sub.6 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group.These compounds have biological activity, particularly in inhibiting the release of spasmogenic substances arising as a consequence of antigen-antibody reactions.
