Abstract: Sulfonamide-substituted chromans, processes for their preparation, their use as a medicament or a diagnostic, and medicament comprising them Chromans of the formula I and of the formula 1a having the meanings R(A), R(B), R(C) and R(1) to R(8) indicated in the claims are outstandingly suitable for preparing a medicament for blocking the K+ channel which is opened by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP); and further for preparing a medicament for inhibiting gastric acid secretion; for the treatment of ulcers of the stomach and of the intestinal region, in particular of the duodenum, for the treatment of reflux esophagitis, for the treatment of diarrheal illnesses, for the treatment and prevention of all types of arrhythmias including ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias, and for the control of reentry arrhythmias and for the prevention of sudden heart death as a result of ventricular fibrillation.

Abstract: Compounds I ##STR1## with R equal to hydrogen or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)-alkyl,X equal to (CH.sub.2).sub.n with n=1-4, unsubstituted or substituted, andAr is equal to an aromatic or heteroaromatic system, optionally substituted,and their pharmaceutically tolerated salts are valuable pharmaceuticals for the treatment of cerebral edema or diarrhea.

Abstract: A description is given of a process for the preparation of a compound of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 (identical or different) represent H, alkyl having 1-2 carbon atoms and F, Cl, Br or I;R.sup.4 represents H, alkyl having 1-4 carbon atoms, n represents the numbers 2-5, andR.sup.5 represents a radical which can be eliminated under physiological conditions or represents hydrogen, and its physiologically tolerated salts.They are effective remedies for diarrhea.

Abstract: A description is given of the use of amino-substituted benzoic acid derivatives of the formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 denote hydrogen, (cyclo)alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted phenyl or naphthyl, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together denote a chain --(CH.sub.2).sub.m -- with m=3 to 6, or together denote a chain --(CH.dbd.CH).sub.n -- with n equal to 2 or 3; R.sup.3 denotes hydrogen, halogen or alkyl; R.sup.4 denotes hydrogen or NO.sub.2 ; R.sup.5 denotes hydrogen or a radical which can be eliminated under physiological conditions; for the preparation of a remedy for diarrhea.
