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: A novel method of treating psoriasis which comprises administering a halomethyl derivative of .alpha.-amino acids of the following general structure: ##STR1## wherein Y is FCH.sub.2 --, F.sub.2 CH--, F.sub.3 C--, ClCH.sub.2 --, Cl.sub.2 CH--; Z is .gamma.-guanidinopropyl or R.sub.a HN(CH.sub.2).sub.n -- wherein n is the integer 3 or 4; each of R.sub.a and R.sub.b can be the same or different and is hydrogen, alkylcarbonyl wherein the alkyl moiety has from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and is straight or branched, alkoxycarbonyl wherein the alkoxy moiety has from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and is straight or branched, or ##STR2## wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen, a straight or branched lower alkyl group of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, benzyl or p-hydroxybenzyl; R.sub.1 is hydroxy; a straight or branched alkoxy group of from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 wherein each of R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or ##STR3## wherein R.sub.
