title: Synthesis, antioxidant and antiinflammatory activity of novel aryla-cetic and aryl-hydroxamic acids.
abstract: Four new aryl-acetic acids and the corresponding hydroxamic acids were synthesized. These compounds showed interesting interaction with the free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), scavenging activity on .OH, inhibition of soybean lipoxygenase and a significant inhibition of carrageenin induced paw edema in rats (44.1-70.9%) at a concentration of 0.01 mmol/100 g.
