Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating nicotine addiction. The method involves administering to the patient an effective amount of a compound having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C1 to C6 alkyl;R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, and ethyl;R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, C1 to C6 alkanoyl, C3 to C6 cycloalkanoyl, and pyridinecarbonyl;Q is a bivalent alkylene moiety; andY is selected from the group consisting of a halo-(C2 to C6)-alkenyl moiety having 1 or 2 chlorine or bromine atoms attached to the ethylenic carbon, a cycloalkyl moiety, a cyano moiety, and a cyano-(C3 to C6)-alkenyl moietyor a pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating cocaine and amphetamine dependency. The method involves administering to the patient an effective amount of a compound having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C1 to C6 alkyl;R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, and ethyl;R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, C1 to C6 alkanoyl, C3 to C6 cycloalkanoyl, and pyridinecarbonyl;Q is a bivalent alkylene moiety; andY is selected from the group consisting of a halo-(C2 to C6)-alkenyl moiety having 1 or 2 chlorine or bromine atoms attached to the ethylenic carbon, a cycloalkyl moiety, a cyano moiety, and a cyano-(C3 to C6)-alkenyl moietyor a pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salt thereof. Discomforting side effects can be minimized by optionally administering naltrexone, naloxone, or a mixture thereof during the early phases of treatment.

Abstract: Long-acting androgenic compositions comprising C.sub.4 -C.sub.6 cycloalkyl carboxylic acids of testosterone and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier medium. The ester can be dissolved in an acceptable oily medium or suspended in an aqueous medium in the form of micronised particles or in the form of milled particles.

Abstract: Compounds comprising the series of 9-substituted 5-hydroxymethyl-11-methyl-6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole N-alkyl or aryl carbamates of general structure: ##STR1## where R=H, lower alkoxy, OH, aryloxy R.sub.1 =H or lower alkylR.sub.2 =lower alkyl or aryl.

Abstract: 7-Hydroxylucanthone and 7-hydroxyhycanthone derivatives have been found to have significant antitumor effect. The derivatives are of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein the radicals R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are lower alkyl groups or other simple groups and R.sup.3 is OH where X.dbd.O, and H or OH where X.dbd.S.

Abstract: Esters of 17 .alpha.-ethynyl 19-nor-testosterone and 17 .alpha.-ethynyl-18-homo-19-nor-testosterone and the 3-oximes thereof having long-active contraceptive activity.

Abstract: Alpha-[(lower alkylamino)alkyl]-4-hydroxy-3-(alkylthio, akylsulfinyl or alkylsulfonyl)benzenemethanols which have .beta.-adrenergic blocking activity and which are therefore useful in controlling tachycardia are prepared by reduction of the corresponding (lower alkylamino)alkyl 4-hydroxy-3-(akylthio, akylsulfinyl or alkylsulfonyl)phenyl ketones.

Abstract: Alpha-[(lower alkylamino)alkyl]-4-hydroxy-3-(alkylthio, alkylsulfinyl or alkylsulfonyl)benzenemethanols which have .beta.-adrenergic blocking activity and which are therefore useful in controlling tachycardia are prepared by reduction of the corresponding (lower alkylamino)alkyl 4-hydroxy-3-(alkylthio, alkylsulfinyl or alkylsulfonyl)phenyl ketones.

Abstract: 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexahydro-3-lower alkenyl-6-(R.sup.1)-11-(R.sup.2)-8-hydroxy-2,6-methano-3-benzazocines, wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen or lower alkyl, and certain ethers and esters thereof, are obtained from analogous 3-unsubstituted compounds. The products have pharmacodynamic activity and are useful as antagonists of strong analgesic agents, such as morphine and meperidine, and are useful in humans as agents for producing analgesia.
