N-Phenyl-N-(4-piperdinyl)amide derivatives are disclosed having the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein X is a member selected from the group consisting of alkoxy-carbonyl-lower alkyl, lower alkyl-carbonyloxy-lower alkyl, alkenyloxy-carbonyl-lower alkyl, and (C.sub.1-2)alkoxy-(C.sub.1-2)-alkoxy-carbonyl-lower alkyl, and Ar, R, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are defined hereinafter, including isomeric forms thereof and acid addition salts thereof. The compounds exhibit analgesic activity having relatively short durations of analgesic action. The invention embraces the compounds (I), pharmaceutical compositions of (I) and methods of providing analgesia with (I). Also included are certain novel intermediates for making (I).

N-phenyl-N-(4-piperidinyl)amides useful as analgesics

The present invention relates to certain novel 8-phenylxanthines substituted in the 3 or 4 position of the phenyl group by an alkenylene, alkenyleneoxy, alkynylene or alkynyleneoxy bearing a terminal acidic grouping, and to their use in human and veterinary therapy, particularly for conditions associated with the cell surface effects of adenosine and in antiviral, especially antiretroviral, chemotherapy.
