Piperidines of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl radical, alk.sub.1 and alk.sub.2 independently of one another are lower alkylene radicals, each of which separates by 2 carbon atoms the nitrogen atom bonded thereto from the methane group bonded thereto, R.sub.2 is a free or acylated hydroxyl group, Ph is a substituted or unsubstituted o-phenylene radical, n is 0 or 1, R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl radical or a hydroxyl group and R.sub.5 is a lower alkyl radical or a hydrogen atom, or R.sub.3 and R.sub.5 together are a second bond and R.sub.4 and R.sub.6 are each a hydrogen atom, or R.sub.4 together with R.sub.3 is an oxo group, R.sub.5 is a lower alkyl radical or a hydrogen atom and R.sub.6 is a hydrogen atom, or R.sub.6 together with R.sub.5 is an oxo group, R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl radical or a hydroxyl group and R.sub.4 is a hydrogen atom, or salts thereof are antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic agents.

Piperidine derivatives

New 4-(phenyl)-piperidine compounds of the general formula I ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 represents hydrogen or lower alkyl, Ph represents a p-phenylene group optionally substituted by lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, nitro and/or halogen, and R.sub.2 represents lower alkyl, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof are useful as antidepressant agents.

New phenylazacycloalkanes

1-(3-Aryloxy-2-hydroxypropyl)-4-(1-oxoisoquinolino)-piperidines, e.g. those of the formula ##STR1## R' = H, alkanoylaminoethenyl, carbamoyl, alkanoyl, CN, alkoxycarbonylamino-lower alkyl, halo, OH, alkanoylamino, alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, alkenyloxy
