Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method of stimulating superoxide generation using phenolic thioethers which stimulate the generation of superoxide.
Abstract:
The compounds of this invention are anilides represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different members of the group consisting of halo, phenyl, substituted phenyl and a ##STR2## group wherein n, m and p are independently an integer of from 1 to 8 provided that n+m+p is equal to or less than 10; X is thio, sulfinyl or sulfonyl; Alk is straight or branched chain lower alkylene; R.sub.3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; and R.sub.4 is phenyl or substituted phenyl. The compounds of the present invention are useful in the treatment of inflammation, allergy and hypersensitivity reactions and other disorders of the immune system.
Abstract:
N-alkyl, N-hydroxylalkyl and N-alkanoyl derivatives of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-L-arabinitol are disclosed in which the alkyl group has from 4 to about 9 carbon atoms, the hydroxyalkyl group has from 2 to about 5 carbon atoms and the alkanoyl group has from 3 to about 12 carbon atoms. These compounds are useful intermediates for the preparation of acylated derivatives thereof which have antiviral activity.
Abstract:
The compounds of the present invention comprise substituted phenolic thioether derivatives that are specific inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase and which, therefore, are useful in the treatment of local and systemic inflammation, allergy and hypersensitivity reactions and other disorders in which agents formed in the 5-lipoxygenase metabolic pathway are involved.
Abstract:
This invention relates to methods of preventing or reducing the degradation of elastin and other proteins and thereby preventing or retarding the disease states caused by said degradation by administering compounds, some of which are novel, of the formula: ##STR1## or their pharmacologically acceptable salts.
Abstract:
This invention relates to novel compounds for preventing or retarding the degradation of elastin or other proteins and therefore preventing or retarding the disease states caused by said degradation, of the formula: ##STR1## or its pharmacologically acceptable salts. The invention also relates to novel methods and intermediates for making the compounds.
