This invention relates to the use of angiotensin II antagonists in treating or preventing the development of disease conditions associated with impaired neuronal conduction velocity, such as diabetic neuropathy, as well as their use in the manufacture of a medicament for use in such treatment. The invention also concerns pharmaceutical compositions containing an angiotensin II antagonist together with one or more other agents known to be of value in treating or preventing the development of disease conditions associated with impaired neuronal conduction velocity.

Angiotensin II antagonists against disorders associated with impaired neuronal conduction velocity, especially diabetic neuropathy

The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising an aldose reductase inhibitor and an ACE inhibitor, and their use in the treatment of diabetic complications such as diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy.

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising an aldose reductase inhibitor and an ace inhibitor

The invention concerns pharmaceutical compositions containing a 1,2-dihydro-3H-indazol-3-one derivative of the formula I ##STR1## wherein Ra is hydrogen, halogeno, nitro, hydroxy, (2-6C)alkanoyloxy, (1-6C)alkyl, (1-6C)alkoxy, fluoro-(1-4C)alkyl, (2-6C)alkanoyl, amino, (1-6C)alkylamino, di-[(1-4C)alkyl]amino, (2-6C)alkanoylamino or hydroxy-(1-6C)alkyl; Rb is hydrogen, halogeno, (1-6C)alkyl or (1-6C)alkoxy; and Y is a group of the formula --A.sup.1 --X--A.sup.2 --Q in which A.sup.1 is (1-6C)alkylene, (3-6C)alkenylene, (3-6C)alkynylene or cyclo(3-6C)alkylene, or A.sup.1 is phenylene; X is oxy, thio, sulphinyl, sulphonyl, imino, (1-6C)alkylimino, (1-6C)alkanoylimino, iminocarbonyl or phenylene, or X is a direct link to A.sup.2 ; A.sup.2 is (1-6C)alkylene, (3-6C)alkenylene or (3-6C)alkynylene or A.sup.2 is cyclo(3-6C)alkylene or is a direct link to Q, or the group --A.sup.1 --X--A.sup.2 -- is a direct link to Q; or Y is (2-10)alkyl, (3-10C)alkenyl or (3-6C)alkynyl; and Q is aryl or heteroaryl. The invention also provides novel 1,2-dihydro-3H-indazol-3-ones, processes for their production and the use of 1,2-dihydro-3H-indazol-3-ones for the manufacture of medicaments for the treatment of various allergic and inflammatory diseases.
