Abstract: 2,2-Diphenylbutanamide derivatives represented by the following formula (1): 1

Abstract: Described is a 4-hydroxy-4-phenylpiperidine derivative represented by the following formula (1): [wherein, R1 and R2 are the same or different and each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl, or the like, R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a group —(CR4R5)n—Y (in which, R4 and R5 each represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, Y represents a group —COOR6, —CONR7R8, —OR9 or —OCOR10 (in which R6, R9 and R10 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, or the like, R7 and R8 are the same or different and each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, or the like), and n stands for 1 to 6)], or salt thereof. The compound exhibits excellent peripheral analgesic action.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are substituted benzylurea derivatives represented by the following general formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently H, a halogen atom, or an alkyl or alkoxyl group, R.sup.3 is a phenyl or heterocyclic group which may be substituted, n is an integer of 1-6, and R.sup.4 is a phenyl group which may be substituted, or salts thereof, and medicines comprising such a derivative as an active ingredient. The derivatives or salts thereof strongly inhibit only ACAT in macrophages and are hence useful as prophylactic and therapeutic agents for arteriosclerosis.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are substituted vinylurea derivatives represented by the following general formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 are independently a phenyl group which may be substituted, R.sup.2 is a phenyl group which may be substituted, or a cycloalkyl group, and wave lines mean that the bonding state may be either E or Z, with the proviso that the cases where R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are unsubstituted phenyl groups, and where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are unsubstituted phenyl groups and R.sup.3 is a 4-ethoxyphenyl group are excluded, or salt thereof, and medicines comprising such a derivative as an active ingredient as well as a method of preventing and treating arteriosclerosis with such a medicine. The derivatives or salts thereof selectively and strongly inhibit ACAT in macrophages and are hence useful as prophylactic and therapeutic agents for arteriosclerosis.

Abstract: A triazole derivative is disclosed. The compound have a general formula, ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together form a lower alkylene group, R.sup.3 represents a lower alkyl group, and n denotes an integer of 0 to 2, provided that not both R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are a hydrogen atom at the same time. The triazole derivatives and their salts are effective for curing or preventing deep-seated mycoses, e.g. mycotic meningitis, mycotic infectious diseases of respiratory organs, fungemia, and urinary tract mycosis.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is 1,3-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)propan-2-ol represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## An antimycotic preparation containing the triazole compound (I) is also disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for the prevention and/treatment of a deep-seated mycosis of a human or mammal, which comprises administering an effective dose of the triazole compound (I) to the human or mammal.
