Abstract: The invention refers to compounds having activity against inflammatory, allergic, and dermatological conditions. The compounds are characterized by the formula ##STR1## or a stereoisomeric component thereof, in which formula R.sub.1 is selected from a straight or branched hydrocarbon chain having 1-4 carbon atoms.The invention also refers to processes for the preparation of these compounds, pharmaceutical preparations containing one of the compounds and a method for the treatment of inflammatory, allergic, muscoskeletal and dermatological conditions.
