Quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives

Endo-(8-methyl-8-azabicyclo�3.2.1!oct-3-yl) 1-isopropyl-2(1H)-quinolone-3-carboxylate represented by Formula (I): ##STR1## or an acid addition salt thereof acts on a serotonin 4 receptor thereby to have a serotonin-like receptor stimulating activity, therefore has an action on activating gastrointestinal motor functions and thus is effective for the improvement of gastrointestinal conditions such as heartburn, anorexia, bowel pain or abdominal distension accompanied by chronic gastritis or postoperative gastroparesis, and further for the treatment of gastro-esophagal reflux, intestinal pseudo-obstruction or constipation.

Heterocyclic compound

Naphthothiopyranone derivatives

Chalcone derivatives represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a straight chain, branched chain or cyclic alkyl group having 4 to 15 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group having 3 to 15 carbon atoms, and occurs at the 2- or 4-position, R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and X is a straight or branched chain alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, are disclosed. These compounds have anti-ulcer effect, gastric mucosal protection effect and antisecretory effect.

Chalcone derivatives
