Abstract: This invention relates to certain structural and pharmacological analogs of prostacyclin (PGI.sub.2) wherein a nitrogen atom is substituted for the 6,9.alpha.-epoxy-oxygen of prostacyclin. These novel nitrogen-containing prostacyclin-type compounds are useful for the pharmacological purposes for which prostacyclin is used, e.g., as antithrombotic agents, smooth muscle stimulators, gastric antisecretory agents, antihypertensive agents, antiasthma agents, nasal decongestants, or regulators of fertility and procreation.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with novel 2-unsubstituted-3-phenylindolines and acid addition salts thereof. These compounds have been found to have valuable pharmacological properties indicative of possible utility, inter alia, of controlling coagulation of the blood and as hypoglycemic agents. The invention also provides novel processes for producing the novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing same as active ingredients.

Abstract: N-Phenyl amidines which have diuretic, antithrombogenic, smooth muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory and antiarrhythmic properties have been discovered. They are prepared by reacting a substituted aniline with a carboxamide selected from the group consisting of amides and lactams in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride. Typical examples of substituted N-phenyl amidines thus obtained are 5-methyl-2-(N-phenylbenzylamino)-1-pyrroline, 2-(N-phenylbenzylamino)-1-pyrroline, 3-[(N-1-pyrrolin-2-yl-p-anisidino)methyl]indole and 4,5,6,7,8,9-hexahydro-2-(N-phenylphenethylamino)-3H-azonine. Indole substituted N-phenyl amidines can be rearranged to provide iminopyrrolidinylindoles which are useful as diuretic, antithrombogenic and smooth muscle relaxant agents. In the case of 3-[(N-1-pyrrolin-2-yl-p-anisidino)methyl]indole, the rearranged product is 3-[[2-(p-methoxyphenylimino)-1-pyrrolidinyl]methyl]indole.

Abstract: A new class of N'-(aminoacylaminophenyl) acetamidines: ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or different and represent hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or the substituted derivatives thereof or, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, an heterocyclic ring; and R.sup.3 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, or a heterocyclic moiety including the substituted derivatives thereof. The products have utility as anthelmintics.The products are obtained by treating a suitable amino-acid or a carbonyl-activated amino-acid, with the appropriate N'-(4-aminophenyl)-N,N-dimethylacetamidine. In addition, the products are obtained by treating a suitable N'-(haloacylaminophenylacetamidine with an appropriate amine.

Abstract: Pyranoindole and thiopyranoindole derivatives characterized by having an amino(lower)alkyl radical attached to either or both the 1 and 9 position of a pyrano[3,4-b]indole or thiopyrano[3,4-b]indole nucleus are disclosed. The amino portion of the amino(lower)alkyl radical may be further substituted with one or two lower alkyl groups or incorporated into a heterocyclic amine radical. The derivatives having the amino(lower)alkyl radical only at position 1 are further substituted at position 1 and may be optionally substituted at positions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The derivatives having the amino(lower)alkyl radical only at position 9 possess two substituents at position 1 and may be optionally substituted at position 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The derivatives having an amino(lower)alkyl radical at both positions 1 and 9 are further substituted at position 1 and may be optionally substituted at positions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
