Pharmaceutical compositions and processes for their preparation containing R-&agr;-lipoic acid or S-&agr;-lipoic acid or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions have a cytoprotective activity and are suitable for combatting pain and inflammation.

Pharmaceutical compositions containing R-&agr;-lipoic acid or S-&agr;-lipoic acid as active ingredient

Pharmaceutical compositions and processes for their preparation containing R-.alpha.-lipoic acid or S-.alpha.-lipoic acid or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The pharmaceutical compositions have a cytoprotective activity and are suitable for combatting pain and inflammation.

Pharmaceutical composition containing R-.alpha.-lipoic acid or

A pharmaceutical composition containing alpha-lipoic acid, dihydrolipoic acid, metabolites of alpha-lipoic acid (inter alia bisnortetralipoic acid and tetranorlipoic acid), optical isomers R- and S- forms of alpha-lipoic acid in oxidized and reduced form together with a vitamin, especially vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The compositions are useful for producing analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, cytoprotective, anti-ulcer, antinecrotic, neuroprotective, detoxifying, anti-ischemic, liver function regulating, anti-allergic, immune-stimulating and antioncogenic effects.

Combination medications containing alpha-lipoic acid and related

Pharmaceutical compositions and their preparation which contain dihydrolipoic acid or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts as active substance. The pharmaceutical compositions have a cytoprotective effect and are suitable for combatting pain and inflammatory disorders.

Method of treating inflammatory diseases with pharmaceutical composition

This invention relates to new compounds corresponding to the general formula: ##STR1## R.sub.1 represents a C.sub.3 -C.sub.10 cycloalkyl group substituted by C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl radicals, a C.sub.3 -C.sub.19 -cycloalkyl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group which may be substituted by C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl radicals, a C.sub.6 -C.sub.8 bicycloalkyl group, a C.sub.6 -C.sub.8 bicycloalkyl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, a C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 tricycloalkyl group, a C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 tricycloalkyl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, a C.sub.6 -C.sub.9 tetracycloalkyl group or a C.sub.6 -C.sub.9 -tetracycloalkyl-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group,
