Compounds of the general formula (I): ##STR1## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 may be the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a nitro group, a halogen atom or a group of the formula --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 or --OR.sub.4 ; in which the groups R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 may be the same or different and each represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl, alkenyl or cycloalkyl group (which alkyl group may optionally be substituted by alkoxy, hydroxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino or aryl groups) or R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 together with the nitrogen atom form a heterocyclic ring which may optionally contain additional hetero atoms, e.g. morpholino or piperazinyl; and R.sub.6 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group. These compounds have biological activity, particularly in inhibiting the release of spasmogenic substances arising as a consequence of antigen-antibody reactions.

Quinaldic acid derivatives

Compounds of the general formulae I and II and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: ##STR1## in which: R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkenyl or alkyl group; or a group OR.sub.3 or NR.sub.3 R.sub.4 where R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 which may be the same or different and may represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkenyl group, or an alkyl group which alkyl group may optionally be substituted by one or more hydroxy, alkoxy, acyloxy, aryl, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, diaralkylamino or alkylaralkylamino groups; or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 together with the nitrogen atom form a 5 or 6 membered heterocyclic ring that may optionally contain other hetero atoms.

Tetrazole containing naphthyridine-3-carboxamides

Compounds of the general formula I: ##STR1## and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in which: A represents the group ##STR2## or the group ##STR3## linked to the adjacent benzene ring through the nitrogen atom, in which R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl group which may optionally be substituted by one or more aryl, aryloxy, alkoxy, acyloxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino or hydroxy groups or represents an alkenyl group;

Quinoxaline-2-carboxamidotetrazoles

Compounds of the general formulae I and II and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: ##SPC1## In which: R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkenyl or alkyl group; or a group OR.sub.3 or NR.sub.3 R.sub.4 where R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 which may be the same or different and may represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkenyl group, or an alkyl group which alkyl group may optionally be substituted by one or more hydroxy, alkoxy, acyloxy, aryl, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, diaralkylamino or alkylaralkylamino groups; or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 together with the nitrogen atom form a 5 or 6 membered heterocyclic ring that may optionally contain other hetero atoms. R.sub.2 has the same meanings as R.sub.3. The compounds have utility for the treatment of conditions in which combination of an antigen with a reaginic antibody is primarily responsible.

Tetrazolyl containing naphthyridine 3-carboxamides

Compounds of the general formula (I): ##SPC1## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 may be the same or different and each represents a hdyrogen atom, an alkyl group, a nitro group, a halogen atom or a group of the formula --NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 or --OR.sub.4 ; in which the groups R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 may be the same or different and each represent a hydrogen atom, or an alkyl, alkenyl or cycloalkyl group (which alkyl group may optionally be substituted by alkoxy, hydroxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino or aryl groups) or R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 together with the nitrogen atom form a heterocyclic ring which may optionally contain additional hetero atoms, e.g. morpholino or piperazinyl; and R.sub.6 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group. These compounds have biological activity, particularly in inhibiting the release of spasmogenic substances arising as a consequence of antigen-antibody reactions.
