Abstract: The present invention relates to novel pharmaceutical use of forskolin derivatives represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and Ac are as defined later ##STR2## (wherein R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each hydrogen or lower alkyl group, or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 may be combined to represent lower alkylene group which may have oxygen or nitrogen atom in the linking chain, and n is an integer of 1 to 5); R.sup.2 represents hydrocarbon group having 2 to 3 carbon atoms; and Ac represents acetyl group.The above-mentioned forskolin derivative or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof can be used as a platelet aggregation inhibiting or controlling agent, spasmolytic agent, therapeutic agent for skin ulcer, peripheral circulation improving agent for limbs and differentiation inducing and promoting agent.

Abstract: This invention relates to forskolin derivatives, their physiologically acceptable salts, and a process for producing these compounds. The forskolin derivative is represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein; I. when R.sup.1 is hydrogen and R.sup.4 is vinyl, ethyl, or cyclopropyl,(1) either of R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 denotes a residue represented by the formula ##STR2## wherein each of R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 denotes hydrogen or lower alkyl or R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 combine with each other to form a lower alkylene chain which may or may not contain an oxygen or nitrogen atom and m is an integer of 1 to 5, and the other one of R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 denotes hydrogen or a residue represented by the formula CO(CH.sub.2).sub.n X, X being hydrogen or ##STR3## wherein, each of R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 denotes hydrogen or lower alkyl or R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 combine with each other to form a lower alkylene chain which may or may not contain an oxygen or nitrogen atom, and n being an integer of 1 to 5, or(2) R.sup.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a phenylpiperazine derivative represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 stands for a lower alkyl group; R.sub.2 stands for a group represented by the general formula: ##STR2## (wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 each stand for a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group and Y stands for CH or N); and n stands for an integer of 1 to 6,and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, which exhibit an .alpha..sub.1 -blocking activity and therefore are expected to be useful as a hypotensive drug.

Abstract: The present invention is an improvement in electretized filtering means. This is an electric charge holding structure wherein the filter medium is covered on two opposite sides with an electrically conductive material having an air permeability that does not impair the air permeability of the filter and these two opposite sides are shorted together. This concept is similar to causing a short in the magnetic lines of force for the purpose of long time retention of the magnetic force as often employed in the vicinity of a permanent magnet. In this invention this idea is applied to electret as an air-filter medium.
