Compounds of the formula I ##STR1## where R.sup.1 to R.sup.5 have the meaning indicated, a process for their preparation and their use as medicaments are described. They are effective lipid-lowering agents with antioxidative properties from the benzenesulfonamide series. They do not have hypotensive and diuretic properties.

Benzenesulfonamides and a process for their preparation

7-[1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-substituted 3,5-dihydroxyhept-6-enoic acids, 7-[1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-substituted 3,5-dihydroxyheptanoic acids of the formula I ##STR1## in which A, B, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 have the indicated meanings, and the corresponding .delta.-lactones of the formula II ##STR2## processes for the preparation of these compounds, their use as medicaments and pharmaceutical products are described. In addition, new intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of the formulae I and II are described.

7(1H-pyrrol-3-YL)-substituted 3,5-dihydroxyhept-6-enoic acids,

4(R)-Substituted 6(S)-phenyloxymethyl-, 6(S)-.beta.-phenylethyl- and 6(S)-.beta.-styryl-tetrahydropyran-2-ones of the general formula V ##STR1## in which R.sup.7, R.sup.8 and A have the meanings given, and the corresponding open-chain hydroxycarboxylic acids, pharmacologically acceptable salts and esters thereof, processes for the preparation of these compounds, their use as medicaments and pharmaceutical products are described. Novel .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated lactones for the preparation of the compounds of the formula V are also described.

4(R)-substituted 6(S)-phenoxymethyl-, 6(S)-.beta.-phenylethyl- and

New 3,5-dihydroxy carboxylic acids and derivatives thereof, a process for the preparation thereof, the use thereof as pharmaceuticals, pharmaceutical products and intermediates 3,5-Dihydroxy carboxylic acids and derivatives thereof, of the formula I ##STR1## and the corresponding Lactones of the formula II ##STR2## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and X-Y have the indicated meanings, a process for the preparation of these compounds, the use thereof as pharmaceuticals, and pharmaceutical products are described. In addition, new intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of the formulae I and II are described.

Pyridazine 3,5-dihydroxy carboxylic acids and derivatives thereof, the

Compounds of the formula I ##STR1## with R.sup.1 equal to H or (cyclo)alk(en)yl, R.sup.2 equal to H or alkyl, R.sup.3 equal to alkyl, R.sup.4 /R.sup.5 equal to H, alkyl or acyl, and Y equal to H, alkyl, CF.sub.3 or Hal, are described, as are processes for the preparation thereof. They are effective diuretics and antihypertensive agents with a lipid-lowering action.

Benzenesulfonamide derivatives and a process for the preparation thereof

3-Demethylmevalonic acid derivatives of the formula I (.delta.-lactone) and Ia (corresponding dihydroxycarboxylic acid derivative) ##STR1## in which A-B, Z, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the indicated meanings, a process for the preparation of these compounds, their use as medicaments and pharmaceutical products are described. In addition, new intermediates for the preparation of the compounds of the formula I and Ia are described.
