N. Cohen et al., BENZENEPROPANOIC ACIDS CONTAINING CHROMANONE OR NAPHTHALENONE MOIETIES ARE POTENT AND ORALLY-ACTIVE LEUKOTRIENE B-4 ANTAGONISTS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(24), 1994, pp. 2883-2888
Systematic structural modification of peptidoleukotriene antagonists o
f the o-hydroxyacetophenone class has led to the discovery of certain
[[(3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-8-propyl-2H-1-benzopyran-7- yl)oxy]alkyl]benzenep
ropanoic acids and related compounds (7), which appear to be potent an
d selective antagonists of the proinflammatory mediator leukotriene B-
