Various aspects of post-traumatic fat embolism are discussed in relation to aetiopathogenesis, therapy and clinical development. Four significant cases are described. This research shows the importance of prevention and early diagnosis in limiting serious consequences, and makes clear the advantages of a right therapeutic technique.
The synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-5-formylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles with different substituents at position 6 (CH3, C6H5, Cl, Br) is reported; thiosemicarbazones and tosylhydrazones were prepared from these aldehydes and from the 2,3-unsaturated analogues: these derivatives, submitted to a preliminary test, did not show significant antileukemic activity.

6-Substituted 5-hydroxymethylimidazo[2.1-b]thiazoles and 2,3-dihydro-5-hydroxymethylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles (VII - XII) were prepared by reducing the corresponding aldehydes (I - VI) with NaBH4. Among the acetic (VII a - XII a), methylcarbamic (VII b - XII b) and ethylcarbamic esters (VII c - XII c), compound (VII a) was active in a preliminary P388 leukemia test.

The synthesis of 5-methoxy- (IX) and 5-hydroxy- (X) 2-chloro-3-formyl-6-methylindole is reported: three hydrazonic derivatives were prepared from each compound. Preliminary results on the activity of the six derivatives against P388 leukemia in mice are reported.

New derivatives (esters, amides, nitriles, amidines, thiosemicarbazones and guanylhydrazones) of 1H-benz[e]indene-2,3-dihydro-5-methyl-1-oxo-3-carboxylic acid and 1H-benz[e]indene-2,3-dihydro-7-methyl-3-oxo-1-carboxylic acid were prepared and tested for antiviral activities in vitro against vaccinia virus, HID stock and parainfluenza type 3 virus, HA-I/CR-8 stock. Four compounds (II g), (II i), (III b), (III g), showed weak activity in vitro against vaccinia virus.
Some thiosemicarbazones of 1-acyl-2-chloro-3-formylindoles were synthesized and investigated for antiviral activity against vaccinia virus, HID stock and parainfluenza virus type 3 HA-I/CR-8 stock. Evidence of antiviral activity was found only against vaccinia virus, and was particular significant with the m-substituted 1-benzoyl-2-chloro-3-formylindoles. The first results of 2-substitution of chlorine by bromine in the indole skeleton, are reported.
The synthesis and the resolution of the enantiomers of (+/-)2-(4-biphenylyl)-4-oxybutyric and (+/-)4-(4-biphenylyl)-2-oxybutyric acids and the resolution of the enantiomers of (+/-)2-(4-biphenylyl)-2-oxybutyric and (+/-)4-biphenylylglycolic acids are described. The potassium salts of each enantiomer were submitted to preliminary assays of antiphlogistic activity.

The Vilsmeier and the Arndt-Eistert reactions have been employed for the synthesis of 1-phenyl-2-chloroindole-3-acetic acid (4). The antiinflammatory activity of 2-chloroindole-3-carboxylic acid (1), 1- methyl-2-chloroindole-3-carboxylic acid (2), 1-phenyl-2-chloroindole-3-carboxylic acid (3), and 4 was compared with the activity of indomethacin in the carrageenin rat edema. The best results are given by compounds 1 and 2 bearing H or CH3 at position 1 and COOH at position 3.
Thiosemicarbazones of N-alkyl-2-chloroindole-3-carboxaldehydes were synthesized and investigated for antiviral activity against RNA virus (parainfluenza type 3, HA-I/CR-8 stock) and DNA virus (vaccinia virus, HID stock). The effect of lipophilicity on the activity against vaccinia virus was considered. Relative lipophilicities were measured by a reversed phase thin-layer chromatographic technique. The most active compound N-isopropyl-2-chloroindole-3-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone appeared comparable for its activity to methisazone.

The synthesis, diastereoisomeric separation, attribution to erythro and threo series, and resolution of the enantiomers of 2-(4-biphenylyl)-3-oxybutyric acid are described. The four isomers were tested for anti-inflammatory activity: the preliminary results are interesting, particular those for the (--) erythro enantiomer.
