OXIME-ETHERS OF ALKYLAMINO ALCOHOLS AS MEDICAMENTS, COMPOUNDS AND PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION

摘要

Glaucoma can be treated by the application to the eye of a physiologically active amount of a compound of the formula in which: each of R3 and R4 is selected from hydrogen, and alkyl, alkenyl and cycloalkyl radicals, or R3 and R4 together with the carbon between them are a cycloalkylidene radical, R2 is a lower alkyl radical, and the salts thereof with pharmaceutically acceptable acids, in an opthamologically accepted carrier therefor, which when liquid and an isotonic agent is present can have the form of an eye lotion. The 1-N-tert.-butylamino derivatives of 3-(cyclopropyl-methyl-ketone-oximino)-propan-2-ol, 3-(dicyclopropyl-ketone-oximino)-propan-2-ol, and 3-(3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane-1-ketone-oximino)-propan-2-ol are novel compounds within such formula specifically useful for such treatment.
