New hydroxymethyl-pyridine esters of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R represents a 9-xanthenyl group or a phenyl group substituted by a halogen atom or a trifluoromethyl group or by an alkyl or alkoxy group, either having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and quaternary salts thereof are prepared by acylating the corresponding hydroxymethyl pyridines with a carboxylic acid of the formula R--COOH, or with a reactive derivative thereof, and, if desired, converting the obtained product of the formula I into a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt or quaternary salt thereof. The new compounds exert beneficial effects on functional disorders of the heart.
