Medicaments for treating nausea and vomiting

The present invention relates to compounds of formula (IV): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.a and R.sup.b each represent a hydrogen atom or together form an alkylidene group.

2-6-diaminopurine precursors

The invention relates to the use of compounds of the general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-10 alkyl, C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl, C.sub.-7 cycloalkyl-(C.sub.1-4) alkyl, C.sub.3-6 alkenyl, C.sub.3-10 alkynyl, phenyl or phenyl-C.sub.1-3 alkyl group; and one of the groups represented by

Medicaments for the treatment of nausea and vomiting

The invention relates to compounds of the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein Im represents an imidazolyl group of the formula: ##STR2## R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a group selected from C.sub.1-6 alkyl, C.sub.3-6 alkenyl, C.sub.3-10 alkynyl, C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl, C.sub.3-7 cycloalkylC.sub.1-4 alkyl, phenyl, phenylC.sub.1-3 alkyl, --CO.sub.2 R.sup.5, --COR.sup.5, --CONR.sup.5 R.sup.6 or --SO.sub.2 R.sup.5 ;

Tricyclic ketones useful as HT.sub.3 -receptor antagonists

These are described spirolactam derivatives of formulae (Ia) and (Ib) ##STR1## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a conventional nitrogen protecting group;

Spirolactam containing peptides

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-10 alkyl, C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl, C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl-(C.sub.1-4)alkyl, C.sub.3-6 alkenyl, C.sub.3-10 alkynyl, phenyl or phenyl-(C.sub.1-3)alkyl group, and one of the groups represented by R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 is a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-6 alkyl, C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl, C.sub.2-6 alkenyl or phenyl-phenyl-(C.sub.1-3)alkyl group and each of the other two groups, which may be the same or different, represents a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-6 alkyl group; or a salt or protected derivative thereof by cyclization of a compound of general formula (II) ##STR2## wherein X represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom and R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are as defined above, or a salt or a protected derivative thereof.
