Abstract: This invention relates to a novel tetracyclic compound represented by formula (I): ##STR1## or its pharmacologically-acceptable salt. The compound of this invention has strong immunosuppressive activity, and is useful as an immunosuppressive agent and as an agent for treating autoimmune disease.

Abstract: Pyrazolothiazolopyrimidine derivatives represented by the Formula ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, immunomodulatory and anti-ulcer agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel tetracyclic compounds represented by formula (I) ##STR1## (wherein each of X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 independently represents hydrogen or lower alkyl; n represents an integer of 1 to 4), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which are useful as immunosuppressive agents.

Abstract: A pyrazoloquinoline derivative having the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 independently represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group; R.sup.4 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a halogen-substituted lower alkyl group, or a lower alkoxycarbonyl group; the dotted line means that the pyrazole ring has two conjugated double bonds; and R.sup.4 is bonded to the nitrogen atom at the 1-position or 2-position, or pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof. These compounds exhibit excellent anti-inflammatory activity and hepatic insufficiency treating activity.

Abstract: Disclosed are naphthyridine derivatives represented by formula (I) ##STR1## wherein: X represents hydrogen; lower alkyl; aralkyl; substituted or unsubstituted aryl; substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic group; --NR.sup.1 R.sup.2 wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently represent hydrogen or lower alkyl; ##STR2## wherein W represents N or CH, Z represents a single bond, oxygen or NR.sup.3 (wherein R.sup.3 represents hydrogen, lower alkyl or benzyl) and n1 and n2 represent an integer of 1 to 3; or substituted or unsubstituted thiazolinyl; andY is a single bond or alkylene and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds show potent anti-inflammatory activity and are expected to be useful in treating rheumarthritis.

Abstract: Novel dibenz[b,e]oxepin derivatives are employed in the treatment and control of allergic conditions such as allergic asthma and also employed in the treatment of inflammation.
