Abstract: Substituted hexahydro arylquinolizines and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are selective .alpha..sub.2 -adrenergic receptor antagonists and thereby useful as antidepressants, antihypertensives, ocular antihypertensives, antidiabetics, antiobesity and platelet aggregation inhibitors and modifiers of gastrointestinal motility.

Abstract: Amidine compounds of the formula ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are novel compounds and are useful as powerful anti-trypsin, anti-plasmin, anti-kallikrein and anti-thrombin agents. They are also useful as a powerful anti-complement agent.

Abstract: Amidino compounds represented by the formula ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are novel compounds and are useful as powerful anti-trypsine, anti-plasmin, anti-kallikrein and anti-thrombin agents. Having strong anti-Cl (Clr, Cls) activities and an anticomplement activity, they are also useful as anticomplement agents. These amidino compounds are prepared by usual esterification of carboxylic acid compounds represented by the formula (II)R.sub.1 --COOH (II)with amidinophenol compound (III) and, if necessary, can be transformed into pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.

Abstract: Amidino compounds represented by the formula ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are novel compounds and are useful as powerful antitrypsin, antiplasmin, antikallikrein and antithrombin agents. Having strong anti-Cl activity and anti-complement activity, they are also useful as anti-complement agents. These amidino compounds are prepared by reacting carboxylic compounds represented by the formulaR.sub.1 --COOHor their reactive intermediates with amidinonaphthol represented by the formula ##STR2## and, if necessary, can be transformed into pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.

Abstract: Amino- or guanidino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthoic esters represented by the formula, ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is --NH.sub.2 or ##STR2## R.sub.3 is --H, --R.sub.4, --O--R.sub.4, --NHCOCH.sub.3, a halogen, --CN, ##STR3## --COOH, --COOR.sub.4, ##STR4## or --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --COOCH.sub.2 --CO--R.sub.5 ; R.sub.5 is --O--R.sub.4, --NH.sub.2 or ##STR5## n is 0, 1 or 2, and R.sub.4 is a lower alkyl, or pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. Owing to their inhibitory activity on proteolytic enzymes the said esters and acid addition salts thereof are useful in the therapy of diseases caused by such enzymes.

Abstract: Amino- or guanidino-phenylpropionic ester derivatives represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is --NH.sub.2 or ##STR2## R.sup.1 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, and R.sup.2 is an unsubstituted or a lower-alkyl-, carboxyalkyl-, lower-alkoxy-, lower-alkoxycarbonyl- or halogen-substituted phenyl group or an unsubstituted or a halogen-substituted naphthyl group, and acid addition salts thereof are novel compounds exhibiting a specific enzyme-inhibitory activity to proteolytic enzymes and, therefore, they are useful as the therapeutic agent of diseases induced by abnormal activation of these enzymes. The above-mentioned compounds can be produced by subjecting a nitrocinnamic acid derivative represented by the formula: ##STR3## and a phenol derivative or a naphthol derivative represented by the formula:HO--R.sup.
