Racemates [and optically active isomers of benzoylphenylacetic acid esters of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl of 1 to 7 carbon atoms, and the two benzene rings may be optionally substituted with at least one member of the group consisting of chlorine, fluorine, bromine, trifluoromethyl and alkyl and alkoxy and alkylthio of 1 to 7 carbon atoms], intermediates and process for their preparation and their use as analgesics and antiinflammatory agents.

Novel benzoylphenylacetic acid esters

Novel butyric acid derivatives of the formula ##SPC1## Wherein X, X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and X.sub.3 are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, lower alkoxy of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, lower alkylthio of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, trifluoromethoxy, trifluoromethylthio, trifluoromethyl, OH and dilower alkylamino of 1 to 5 carbon atoms for each alkyl, R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, o-carboxyphenyl, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl and ##EQU1## wherein P and Q are individually lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, Z and X.sub.4 are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms and Y is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and --CH and the dotted line indicates the optional presence of a double bond when Y is hydrogen and when R is hydrogen or o-carboxyphenyl, the salts thereof with a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable mineral or orgaic base, which compounds have anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity and are substantially devoid of ulcerigenic activity and their preparation and novel intermediates formed therein.

Butyric acid derivatives for treating pain and inflammation

Novel butyric acid derivatives of the formula ##SPC1## Wherein X, X.sub.1, X.sub.2 and X.sub.3 are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, lower alkoxy of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, lower alkylthio of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, trifluoromethoxy, trifluoromethylthio, trifluoromethyl, OH and dilower alkylamino of 1 to 5 carbon atoms for each alkyl, R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, o-carboxyphenyl, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl and -CH.sub.2 -CH - CH.sub.2 ##EQU1## wherein P and Q are individually lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, Z and X.sub.4 are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms and Y is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and --OH and the dotted line indicates the optional presence of a double bond when Y is hydrogen and when R is hydrogen or o-carboxyphenyl, the salts thereof with a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable mineral or organic base, which compounds have anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity and are substantially devoid of ulcerigenic activity and their preparation and novel intermediates formed therein.
