This invention relates to phenyl-lower-alkylamines
useful as anti-inflammatory agents.
A v~y la~ge class of organic compounds of widely
divexse structural type~ are known to be useful as anti-inflam-
matory agent~, but many ~f suçh anti-inflammatory agents are
aci~ic, for ~xamplæoC-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionic acid, known
generically as ketopro~en tBritish Patent 1,164,585, published
Sept. 17, 1969~. Such acidio agents are often irritatlng, and
in ~om~ cases are ulcerogenic, to the gastric muco.~a when
administered orally. There is thus a great need for anti-
inflammatory agents, for example compounds having a basic amine
function, which might be expected to be non-irritating to the
