Anvendelse af amygdalin-analoger til behandling af psoriasis

The compounds of formula (I), wherein n is an integer from 0 to 4; R1 is a radical selected from the group consisting of H, CH 3 , CH 2 -CH 3 , C(CH 3 ) 3 , COOH, CONH 2 and C‰¡CH; R2, R3, R4 and R5 are radicals independently selected from the group consisting of H, F, Cl, Br, (C 1 -C 3 )-alkoxyl and (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl; and R6 is a radical selected from the group consisting of H, F, Cl, Br, (C 1 -C 3 )-alkoxyl, (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, R7, CH=CH-R7 and O-CH 2 -R7; wherein R7 is phenyl or phenyl mono- or independently di-substituted with F, Cl, Br, (C 1 -C 3 )-alkoxyl or (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl, exhibit a similar chemotactic index to that of amygdalin (natural product whose chemotaxis profile is similar to that of peptide T) and, consequently, are useful for treating inflammatory and/or allergic dermatophathies, such as psoriasis, and are especially much less toxic than amygdalin.
