Antiinflammatory Activity of Cinnamic Acid Esters
Abstract
The cinnamate esters of 3-p-menthanol (trivial name, menthol) (1) and 4(8)-pmenthen-3-ol (trivial name, pulegol) (2) were prepared and their anti-inflammatory activity was measured. Some of the monoterpenoid esters displayed interesting anti-inflammatory activity.
