Abstract: New 6-phenyldihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinones corresponding to the following general formula ##STR1## are described. These compounds are readily prepared in a form suitable for oral administration and are distinguished by a high positive inotropic action and have only a slight effect on blood pressure and cardiac frequency. A process for their preparation and pharmaceutical preparations containing these compounds are also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to new 1,4-piperazine compounds corresponding to the following general formula ##STR1## which show improved antimycotic activity in relation to the known compounds miconazol and ketoconazol.

Abstract: An improved double acting diaphragm pump utilizes at least one supplemental diaphragm and associated pressure chamber arranged coaxially with the connecting shaft of the main diaphragms. The supplemental chambers are connected via parallel pressure lines or conduits to the pressure source for the main diaphragms and associated pressure chambers.

Abstract: 1,3,4-Thiadiazole derivatives corresponding to the general formula I ##STR1## which constitute highly effective inhibitors for histamine-H.sub.2 receptors are described. These compounds in addition have a cytoprotective action.

Abstract: Special pyrazole derivatives corresponding to the general formula I which have a highly selective action on histamine-H.sub.2 receptors are described. Compared with other drugs known to be effective in their action on histamine-H.sub.2 receptors, these compounds have improved pharmacological properties. A method of preparation of these compounds is also described.

Abstract: Alkanol derivatives corresponding to the general formula IR.sup.1 R.sup.2 N--(CH.sub.2).sub.m --Q--CH.sub.2 X--CH.sub.2 --Y--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --NHR.sup.3 (I)which have a highly selective action on histamine-H.sub.2 receptors are described. Due to this action, these compounds may advantageously be used for treatment of diseases caused by raised gastric secretion.

Abstract: Diamine derivatives corresponding to the general formula IR.sup.1 R.sup.2 N--(CH.sub.2).sub.m --Q--A--NH--R--NH--B--Q'--(CH.sub.2).sub.n NR.sup.3 R.sup.4 (I)which have a highly selective action on histamine-H.sub.2 receptors and are therefore suitable for use as anti-ulcerative agents are described. Processes for the preparation of these compounds and pharmaceutical preparations containing these compounds are also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to new propan-2-ol derivatives corresponding to the following general formula ##STR1## in which R represents ##STR2## and to salts thereof with pharmacologically acceptable acids. These compounds have a selective effect on histamine-H.sub.2 -receptors.

Abstract: The invention relates to new pyridine-pyrimidinone derivatives corresponding to the following general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents linear C.sub.1-6 alkyl or cycloalkyl and R.sup.2 represents linear C.sub.1-6 alkyl or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the nitrogen atom form a pyrrolidine or piperidine ring;Alk represents a linear alkylene chain C.sub.1-6 ;Q represents a benzene ring, furan ring, thiophene ring or thiazole ring;X represents oxygen, Y is a single bond and m is 2, 3 or 4 when Q represents benzene;X represents methylene, Y represents sulfur and m is 2 or 3 when Q is furan, thiophene or thiazole; andR.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group.These compounds show improved H.sub.2 -antagonistic activity.
