4-aminopyridine derivatives represented by the general formula: ##STR1## [wherein R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a linear or branched lower alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group which may be substituted by a hydroxyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a lower alkyl or a cycloalkyl group which contains a carbonyl group, a morpholino group or a group --NH--B (where B is a lower alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group or a phenyl group); R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 which may be the same or different each represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a loweralkylcarbonyl group, or when taken together, form an azacycloalkyl group, a morpholino group or an N-methylpiperazinyl group together with the nitrogen atom; R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 each represents a hydrogen atom, or when taken together with the ring A, form a quinoline ring or a 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline ring, provided that when each of R.sub.1, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 is a hydrogen atom, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are neither a hydrogen atom nor a methyl group at the same time, and when R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom and R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 taken together with the ring A form a quinoline ring, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are neither a hydrogen atom nor an ethyl group at the same time], and an acid addition salts of said 4-aminopyridine derivatives. These compounds are useful as active ingredients in pharmaceutical compositions for improving psychoneural function, especially in the treatment of Alzheimer type dementia and promotion of mnemonic and learning performance.

3,4-diaminoquinoline and 3,4-diamino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline

Novel pyrazoloindazole derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is a hydrogen atom, halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxyl group or benzyloxyl group; R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group or phenyl group (provided R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are not hydrogen at the same time); and X.sup..crclbar. is a halide ion, a hydroxide ion, a methanesulfonate ion, a p-toluene sulfonate ion, a sulfate ion, a nitrate ion, a carbonate ion, an acetate ion, a benzoate ion or a salicylate ion, a process for preparing the derivatives, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same are disclosed. The derivatives have good bronchodilating action for human without exhibiting substantially bad effects on the functioning of heart, and therefore, they are useful as a drug.

Pyrazoloindazole derivatives and bronchodilating composition

Indazole derivatives represented by the formula ##SPC1## Wherein X is hydrogen, halogen atom or lower alkyl group; R and R' each is hydrogen, lower alkyl group or lower alkenyl group and when taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form an unsubstituted or substituted heterocyclic ring; and n is an integer of 1 - 3 are novel compounds having tranquilizing activity, antidepressive activity, anti-inflammatory activity, circulatory activity etc. and are useful as medicines.
