  • Patent number: 4368332
    Abstract: Novel bicyclo [2,2,1] heptanes and hept-2Z-enes are substituted at the 5-position by a 6-carboxyhex-2-enyl group or a modification thereof, and at the 6-position by an aldoxime or ketoxime group which is O-substituted by an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue, an aromatic residue, or an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue substituted directly or through an oxygen or sulphur atom by an aromatic residue. Such compounds may be prepared by the action of an oximating agent on an intermediate which is substituted at the 6-position by an aldehydic or ketonic carbonyl group. The compounds are of value for use in pharmaceutical compositions particularly in the context of the inhibition of thromboxane activity.

  • Patent number: 4367176
    Abstract: The present invention concerns diesters of polyethylene glycols (with n ranging between 4 approximately and 100 approximately) with 2-arylpropionic acids (known as anti-inflammatory agents). These esters, while possessing all the characteristics of low toxicity and gastric injuring effects shown by the related acids, differ advantageously from the latter because their anti-inflammatory activity is much more prolonged, and their bio-availability markedly better.
