title: Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents. XXIII. Synthesis and activity of stereomeric (+/-)-erythro- and (+/-)-threo-2-(4-biphenylyl)-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-phenyl-propionic acids.
abstract: In pursuing our research on the NSAIDs, the diastereomeric (+/-)-erythro- and (+/-)-threo-2-(4-biphenylyl)-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-phenyl-propionic acids (4 and 5) were synthesized; the last was also resolved in its optical isomers (6 and 7). The attribution of the relative configuration to 4 and 5 was performed by means of X-ray analysis. The compounds were tested for their antiinflammatory activity. The acid 4, which resulted very interesting, was tested also for analgesic and antipyretic activity, as well as for behavioural effects, gastric tolerability and acute toxicity. On the basis of the obtained data, this compound resulted a very promising one.
