  • Patent number: 4066651
    Abstract: Novel 1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinol-4-ylalkanoic acid derivatives bearing a variety of substituents on the quinoline nucleus but including, at position 1, an aromatic radical linked directly or through a C.sub.1-4 -alkylene or a C.sub.2-4 -alkenylene radical. Representative compounds of the invention are 1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-3-methyl-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinol-4-ylacetic acid and .alpha.-(1-benzyl-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinol-4-yl)propionic acid. The compounds possess anti-inflammatory or analgesic properties, or are inhibitors of the enzyme aldose reductase.
