3-Benzoylpropionic acid derivatives possess an immunomodulative activity and suppress adjuvant arthritis. To understand how substituents affect the biological activity, the quantitative structure-activity relationships of 30 compounds were analyzed by the adaptive least-squares method. For the suppressing activity in rats, the electronic effects and the structural feature of the substituent on benzene ring were suggested to be important. To reinforce and confirm the correlation, 4 additional compounds of phenoxybutyric acid derivatives were synthesized and tested with the rat adjuvant-induced arthritis. These compounds were found to have potent suppressing activity.

Phenalkoxyalky- and phenoxyalkyl-substituted oxiranecarboxylic acids of the formula STR1 wherein R1 denotes a hydrogen atom (--H), a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a nitro group or a trifluoromethyl group, R2 has one of the meanings of R1, R3 denotes a hydrogen atom (--H) or a lower alkyl group, Y denotes --O--(CH2)m --, m denotes O or an integer from 1 to 4, and n denotes an integer from 2 to 8, with the proviso that the sum of m and n is an integer from 2 to 8, and the salts of the acids are new compounds. They display a hypoglycaemic action in warm-blooded animals. Processes for the preparation of the new compounds and of the intermediate products required for their preparation are described.
