Abstract: The invention relates to new sulfobetaines and a process for the manufacture of cyclic sulfobetaines of a substituted 4-sulfomethyl-pyrrolidinium betaine type.Diallylammonium combinations are converted with salts of sulfurous acid, under good mixing and mild reaction conditions, in the presence of catalytic acting transition metallic ions of the first, fifth, seventh or eighth secondary groups of the Period Table and initiators at pH 2-9. The process is technologically easily carried out, requires only little energy, while the combinations according to this invention can be selectively manufactured with a nearly quantitative yield. The fact that no carcinogenic alkylates are employed, technical chemicals and tap water may be used, and hardly any by-products are formed, may be regarded as further advantages of this process.The substances can be used for multiple purposes, for instance as conductive coating and antistatic materials.

Abstract: 2,3-Unsaturated nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with a 3-nitro group and a 2-heterocyclyl alkylamino group. The alkyl group of 2-position substituents is preferably interrupted by sulfur or oxygen. The compounds of the invention are preferably dihydropyrroles or tetrahydropyrridines or pyrimidines. The compounds of the invention are histamine H.sub.2 -receptor antagonists.

Abstract: Quaternary ammonium salts of certain phenylpropylamines and phenylbutylamines are useful antiarrhythmic drugs. A method for treating arrhythmia and prolonging the action potential of cardiac tissue is provided. Pharmaceutical formulations containing such quaternary ammonium salts are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention concerns substituted heterocyclic phenoxyamines having the following formula: ##STR1## their pharmacologically acceptable acid salts, their quaternary ammonium salts, their N-oxides, their levorotatory and dextrorotatory isomers and the processes for the preparation thereof. In the above formula:m=0 or 2n=0 or 2provided that m+n=2A represents hydrogen, a lower alkoxy or lower alkenyloxy group,X represents a halogen,R represents hydrogen or a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic and/or cyclic hydrocarbon radical such as in particular lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, cycloalkyl and cycloalkyl-alkyl, cycloalkenyl and cycloalkenyl-alkyl.The compounds of the invention are useful as local anaesthetics.
