Patent number: 5374772
Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of the formula ##STR1## R is hydrogen, lower alkyl, --(CH.sub.2).sub.2 N(R.sub.3).sub.2 or --CH.sub.2 OOCR.sub.3 wherein R.sub.3 is lower alkyl;R.sub.1 is CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.n --, wherein n is 0-17, or R.sub.4 (CH.sub.2).sub.p --, wherein p is 2-18 and R.sub.4 is 1- or 2-naphthyloxy, 2,3- or 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl, phenyl, phenoxy, or substituted phenyl or phenoxy wherein the substituent is selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, benzyloxy, methylsulfinyl, methylsulfonyl or phenyl;R.sub.2 is R.sub.4 (CH.sub.2).sub.p --, 1-adamantyl--CO-- or diphenylmethyl--CO--, and, when R is hydrogen, pharmaceutically acceptable salts with bases.The compounds of formula I are potent inhibitors of phospholipases A.sub.2 (PLA.sub.2 's) and are therefore useful in the treatment of diseases, such as psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, allergy, arthritis, dermatitis, gout, pulmonary disease, myocardial ischemia, and trauma induced inflammation, such as spinal cord injury.
