[Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents. XIII. 4-Cyclohexylphenylhydroxyalkanoic acids]

The preparation of some homologues of 2-(4-cyclohexylphenyl)-3-hydroxypropionic acid, the separation of the diastereomeric race-mates, their attribution to erythro and threo series, and the optical resolution of the enantiomers are described. The optical antipodes were screened for acute toxicity, as well as for antiinflammatory and analgesic activity.
