Abstract: The invention is concerned with novel imidazolone derivatives, a process for their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions and the use of such compounds in medicine. In particular, the compounds are inhibitors of the human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase enzyme which is involved in viral replication. Consequently the compounds of this invention may be advantageously used as therapeutic agents against HIV infection.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds of the general formula 1

Abstract: Disclosed are novel pyrrole derivatives, a process for their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and the use of such compounds in the treatment of HIV mediated diseases.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen, halogen, trifluoromethyl, nitro, cyano, lower alkyl, lower alkoxycarbonyl, lower alkylthio, lower alkylsulphonyl, lower alkanoyl, aroyl, carbamoyl, mono(lower alkyl)carbamoyl or di(lower alkyl)carbamoyl, R.sup.2 is hydrogen, lower alkyl or phenyl, R.sup.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 each is hydrogen or R.sup.4 is hydroxy and R.sup.5 is hydrogen or R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 together are a carbon-carbon bond and R.sup.6 is an aryl or N-heteroaryl group carrying a hydroxy group in the 2-position or, in the case of a N-heteroaryl group, also a N-oxide group in the 2-position,and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of these compounds of formula I which are basic, possess pronounced potassium channel activating activity and can be used as medicaments, particularly in the control or prevention of hypertension, congestive heart failure, angina pectoris, peripheral and cerebral vascular disease and smooth muscle disorders.
