Novel cyclohexanecarboxylic acid and its derivatives

Abstract

The present invention relates to novel cyclohexanecarboxylic acid and its derivatives represented by the general formula: ##STR1## (wherein R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen or methyl; R.sup.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, lower alkoxy with 1-6 carbons or amino acid rest. In case R.sup.1 is hydrogen, however, R.sup.2 means amino acid rest, which of all the compounds of the present invention are entirely novel ones which have never been in any printed publications, possessing a high degree of pharmacological activities such as anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcerative, antibacterial, anti-thrombotic and liver-function-improving activities, and therefore, these compounds are useful as medicines, and besides, these compounds are surface-active and, therefore, useful as additives for toothpaste and shampoo, as surface active agents for detergents, dispersing agents, emulsifying agents and cosmetics, as anticarious agents, and also in industrial fields the aforesaid compounds are useful as detergents for keeping textiles soft, as additives for lubricating oil, as anti-rust agents, additives for plastics and also as metal-capturing agent, ion-floating agents and emulsifying agents for other industrial purposes).
