The present invention is concerned with diaryl compounds of formula (I) and their use in medical therapy, particularly in the prophylaxis or treatment of a clinical condition for which an ACAT inhibitor is indicated, such as hyperlipidaema or atherosclerosis. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions and processes for the preparation of compounds according to the invention. ##STR1##

Anti-atherosclerotic diaryl compounds

Antiviral dibenzothiazepinone derivatives

Dibenzothiazepinthione as antiviral agents

Compounds of general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents an optionally substituted carbocyclic or heterocyclic aryl group, or an optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl group; R.sup.2 represents an optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl group or an optionally substituted carbocyclic or heterocyclic aryl or aralkyl group; R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; and either X represents an oxygen or sulphur atom, a group, --CH.sub.2 -- or a group NR.sup.4 where R.sup.4 represents a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group; and Y represents a group --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- or X--Y together represent the group --CH.dbd.CH--; and salts and physiologically functional derivatives thereof are useful in the treatment of tumors. Processes for preparing the compounds, intermediates useful in their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in the treatment of tumors are also described.

Treatment of cancer with imidazo-1,2-pyridazin compounds

Use of Methyl N-[6-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyloxy)imidazo [1,2-6]pyridazin-2-yl]carbamate or pharmaceutically acceptable salt to treat lymphocytic leukemia is disclosed.

Treatment of leukemia with a imidazo carbamate

Methyl N-[6-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzloxy) imidazo [1,2-6]pyridazin-2-yl]carbamate is disclosed which is used to treat leukemia.

Methyl

Compounds of general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents an optionally substituted carbocyclic or heterocyclic aryl group, or an optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl group; R.sup.2 represents an optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl group or an optionally substituted carbocyclic or heterocyclic aryl or aralkyl group; R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; and either X represents an oxygen or sulphur atom, a group --CH.sub.2 -- or a group NR.sup.4 where R.sup.4 represents a hydrogen atom of a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group; and Y represents a group --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- or X--Y together represent the group --CH.dbd.CH--; and salts and physiologically functional derivatives thereof are useful in the treatment of tumours. Processes for preparing the compounds, intermediates useful in their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in the treatment of tumours are also described.

Imidazopyridazine derivatives

Compounds of general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents an optinally substituted carbocyclic or heterocyclic aryl group, or an optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl group; R.sup.2 represents an optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl group or an optionally substituted carbocyclic or heterocyclic aryl or aralkyl group; R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; and either X represents an oxygen or sulphur atom, a group --CH.sub.2 -- or a group NR.sup.4 where R.sup.4 represents a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group; and Y represents a group --CH.sub.2 -- or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- X-Y together represent the group --CH.dbd.CH--; and salts and physiologically functional derivatives thereof are useful in the treatment of tumours. Processes for preparing the compounds, intermediates useful in their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in the treatment of tumours are also described.
