Abstract: The present invention provides an agent for treating ischemic brain damage comprising 3-sulfamoylmethyl-1,2-benzisoxazole or its alkali metal salt as an active ingredient. This agent can be used for the prevention and/or treatment of cerebral ischemia-induced intracranial diseases or various symptoms associated therewith in mammals including human beings.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein A means an alkylene; Y--Z means ##STR2## --CH.dbd.CH--, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --, or ##STR3## R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each a substituent; R.sub.3 is hydrogen atom, alkyl, or alkoxy; R.sub.4 is phenyl, phenylalkyl, phenylalkenyl, diphenylmethyl, naphthyl, thiazolyl, optionally substituted pyridyl, optionally substituted pyrimidinyl, quinolyl, benzoylalkyl, benzoyl, furoyl, thenoyl, phenyloxycarbonyl, phenyloxysulfonyl, or phenylsulfonyl; a is 2 or 3, b and c are each 1 or 2, and d is an integer of 0 to 2, provided that the phenyl, phenyl moiety and naphthyl may optionally be substituted, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, process for the preparation thereof, and pharmaceutical composition containing the same. The compounds and salt thereof show potent calcium antagonistic activity and are useful for prophylaxis and treatment of hypertension and/or ischemic heart disease.

Abstract: Novel acetic acid derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is oxygen or sulfur; R.sub.1 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl; R.sub.2 is hydroxy, an alkoxy, an alkenyloxy, a cycloalkyloxy, an aryloxy, a substituted aryloxy, an aryl-lower alkoxy, a substituted aryl-lower alkoxy, an aryl-lower alkenyloxy, a substituted aryl-lower alkenyloxy, an .omega.-disubstituted amino-lower alkoxy, a lower alkoxycrbonyl-lower alkoxy, a lower alkoxy-lower alkoxy, a hydroxy-lower alkoxy-lower alkoxy, an acyl-lower alkoxy, or a group ##STR2## wherein R.sub.3 is hydrogen, hydroxy, a lower alkyl, an aryl-lower alkyl, a hydroxy-lower alkyl, or a carboxy-lower alkyl, R.sub.4 is hydrogen, a lower alkyl or a hydroxy-lower alkyl, or the R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 may combine together with the nitrogen atom to which they are joined to form a heterocyclic group; and the group --CH(R.sub.1)COR.sub.

Abstract: Methane-sulfonamide derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or a halogen atom, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are the same or different and are each hydrogen or a straight or branched alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and one of X and Y is a carbon atom and another is a nitrogen atom, provided that the group: --CH.sub.2 SO.sub.2 NR.sub.2 R.sub.3 is bonded to the carbon atom of either of X and Y,and an alkali metal salt thereof, and a process for the preparation of said methane-sulfonamide derivatives. Said compounds have an excellent anticonvulsant activity and are useful as anticonvulsants for controlling convulsions and seizures in patients with epilepsy.

Abstract: 3-Substituted-1,2-benzisoxazole derivative of the following formula: ##SPC1##Wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen, hydroxy, nitro, alkyl, alkoxy, halogen or amino; R.sub.2 is hydroxyamino, amino, hydrazino, mono- or di- alkyl substituted amino, aralkylamino, acyloxyamino, morpholino, piperazine which is unsubstituted or substituted with alkyl, aralkyl or aryl at 4 position, or pyrrolidino, or R.sub.2 may combine with imino group and form together with the adjacent carbon atom a heterocyclic ring such as imidazoline or tetrahydropyrimidine; and n is an integer of 0 to 3, and its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt, and preparation thereof. The present compounds show valuable pharmacological properties, such as anti-reserpine activity, central nervous depressing activity, anti-hypertensive activity and l-dopa potentiating activity.
