Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for use in preventing or treating heart diseases in a mammal, which comprises at least one aminoalkanesulfonic acid derivative of the formula (I) : wherein X is hydrogen or an amino acid residue ; Y is hydrogen, a phenyl group or an alkyl group, which may have a hydroxy, amino, carboxy , phenyl or hydroxyphenyl group ; or X and Y are joined to form a trimethylene or hydroxytrimethylene group ; and at least one of X and Y is other than hydrogen ; or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Abstract:
The glycocyamidine derivatives of the present invention are represented by the following formula (I): wherein R₁, R₂ and R₃, which may be the same or different, is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, preferably a straight or branched alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl, and R represents hydrogen or an acetyl group, which are useful as test reagents for diagnosis of renal failure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel adenosine derivatives having the formula (I): wherein each of R₁, R₂ and R₃, which may be the same or different, is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group; X is hydrogen, a lower alkyl group, an amino group or halogen; and Y is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group; and pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. These compounds are useful as antihypertensive agents, for example, for the treatments of hypertension and various diseases caused by hypertension, such as cerebrovascular diseases, cardiopathy or renal insufficiency.
Abstract:
