Compounds of formula (I): ##STR1## [wherein: R.sup.1 is a cyclic amino group, or a dialkylamino group; R.sup.2 a group of formula --NHCHR.sup.3 R.sup.4 wherein R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each alkyl aryl or aralkyl, or together form a cycloalkyl group, or R.sup.2 is an aromatic heterocyclic group, or a group of formula --B--S(O).sub.m --R.sup.5 wherein R.sup.5 is a substituted alkyl group, or an aromatic heterocyclic group; B is an alkylene or alkylidene group; m is 0, 1 or 2; A is a group of formula --CH.dbd.CH-- or --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --, where n is 1, 2 or 3]; and salts thereof have valuable anti-ulcer activity.

Anti-ulcer pyridyloxy derivatives, their preparation and uses

An optically active compound of formula (I): ##STR1## in which R.sup.3 represents groups of formula --A--COOR.sup.4, wherein

14B(R) isomers of novel tetracyclic compounds having anti-allergic and

Thiazolidinecarboxylic acid amides having combined antiallergic and antiasthmatic activities with an antagonist activity against platelet Activating Factor and having the following general formula (I) ##STR1##

Thiazolidinecarboxylic acid amide derivatives and their therapeutic uses

Compounds of formula (I): ##STR1## in which: Q is nitrogen or .dbd.CH--; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, trifluoromethyl or halogen; and R.sup.3 is a substituted alkyl groups, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof have valuable anti-allergic and anti-asthmatic activities. The compounds are prepared by reacting a corresponding compound where R.sup.3 is replaced by a hydrogen atom with a compound to introduce the group R.sup.3.

Tetracyclic compounds having anti-allergic and anti-asthmatic activities

Compounds of formula (I): ##STR1## [wherein: A-- B is .dbd.C.dbd.CH--or a nitrogen atom; R.sup.1 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or aralkyl; and Z is alkylene] and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful in the treatment and prevention of allergies and asthma.

Nitrogen-containing tetracyclic compounds having anti-allergic and

Compounds of formula (I): ##STR1## in which: Q is nitrogen or .dbd.CH--; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, trifluoromethyl or halogen; and R.sup.3 is a substituted alkyl groups or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof have valuable anti-allergic and anti-asthmatic activities. The compounds are prepared by reacting a corresponding compound where R.sup.3 is replaced by a hydrogen atom with a compound to introduce the group R.sup.3.

Compounds of formula (I): ##STR1## in which: R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently alkyl, alkoxy, trifluoromethyl, nitro or halogen; A is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms whose chain contains at least 2 carbon atoms in a linear chain between the piperidine group and --COOH, said group optionally being unsaturated; and m and n are independently 0, 1, 2 or 3; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters thereof have been found to have valuable anti-histamine properties without the usual side effects of anti-histamines. Methods of preparing the compounds are also provided.

(Benzhydryloxyethylpiperidyl) aliphatic acid derivatives and their use

Compounds of formula (I): ##STR1## (in which: R.sup.1 is hydrogen or alkl; R.sup.2 is a variety of groups or atoms; R.sup.3 is optionally substituted hydroxy or --(NH).sub.n --NR.sup.5 R.sup.6, wherein R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 are a variety of groups or atoms, preferably alkyl substituted by heterocyclic, and n is 0 or 1; Q is oxygen or sulfur; and A is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylene group) have valuable cardiotionic activity and may be used for the treatment of cardiac disorders. They may be prepared from corresponding compounds containing a benzene ring with a group --QH at the 1-position and a group --CO--CHR.sup.1 --NH--COOR.sup.7 at the 4-position by ring closure and introduction of the group of formula --A--CO--R.sup.3 in any order.
