Abstract: The compound (3,4-Dichlorophenylsulphinyl)-acetamidoxime, of the structural formula: ##STR1## and its addition salts with acids. These compounds are useful in therapy as substances acting on the central nervous system.

Abstract: The sulphur- and oxygen-containing diaryl compounds of the formula: ##STR1## in which A and B, which may be the same or different, represent O, S, SO or SO.sub.2,Alk is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 hydrocarbon radical with a straight or branched chain, R represents COOH, an esterified COOH group, a carboxylic amide group, OH, O-SO.sub.2 CH.sub.3, NH.sub.2, NHR.sub.1, NR.sub.1 R.sub.2, NHZOH, NHZNR.sub.1 R.sub.2, C(.dbd.NH)NH.sub.2, C(.dbd.NH)NHOH or 2-.DELTA..sup.2 -imidazolinyl, Z is a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 hydrocarbon radical with a straight or branched chain, and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each represent a C.sub.1 -C.sub.

Abstract: Phenylsulphinyl derivatives of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 represents hydrogen or one or more identical or different substituents, Alk represents a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 hydrocarbon radical with a linear or branched chain, and A represents C(.dbd.NH)NH.sub.2, C(.dbd.NH)NHOH, C(.dbd.O)NHOH, or ##STR2## where Z is CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 or CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 and R is H, CH.sub.2 COOH, CH(CH.sub.3)COOH or C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 COOH, and their addition salts, have interesting therapeutic properties on the central nervous system as anxiolytic agents and/or analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract: The invention provides new compounds of the formula:Ar--SO.sub.Y --Alk--NR.sub.1 R.sub.2in which Ar represents a phenyl group, a phenyl group substituted by one or more C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, CF.sub.3 and COOH groups, or a 2-benzimidazolyl group optionally substituted in the 1-position, Y is 0 or 1, Alk is a C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 hydrocarbon radical with a straight or branched chain, and NR.sub.1 R.sub.2 is a secondary, tertiary or N-heterocyclic amino group, and their addition salts which show pharmacological activity, e.g. as analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents, and anorexigenic agents.

Abstract: Phenylsulphinyl derivatives of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 represents hydrogen or one or more identical or different substituents, Alk represents a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 hydrocarbon radical with a linear or branched chain, and A represents C(=NH)NH.sub.2, C(=NH)NHOH, C(=O)NHOH, or ##STR2## where Z is CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 or CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 and R is H, CH.sub.2 COOH, CH(CH.sub.3)COOH or C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 COOH, and their addition salts, have interesting therapeutic properties on the central nervous system as anxiolytic agents and/or analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract: Lyophilised oil-in-water emulsions and suspensions are useful as compositions for dermatological, cosmetological, buccal, and dental use having the advantage over conventional compositions of lower bulk and better storage stability.
