Docking studies and anti-inflammatory activity of beta-hydroxy-beta-arylpropanoic acids.

ABSTRACT: The article describes a two-step synthesis of diastereomeric 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-(4-biphenylyl)butanoic acids. In the first step an intermediate alpha-bromo propanoic acid 1-ethoxyethyl ester was synthesized. The second step is a new modified Reformatsky reaction in presence of Zn in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at -5 to 10 degrees C between the previously synthesized intermediate and 4-acetylbiphenyl. Synthesis of the other studied beta-hydroxy-beta-arylpropanoic acids has already been reported. These beta-hydroxy-beta-arylpropanoic acids belong to the arylpropanoic acid class of compounds, structurally similar to the NSAIDs such as ibuprofen. The anti-inflammatory activity and gastric tolerability of the synthesized compounds were evaluated. Molecular docking experiments were carried out to id
