Reduction of N-[β-(4-substituted benzoyl)ethyl]amino acids with sodium borohydride yielded arylaliphatic aminopropanols containing amino acid fragments – N-[3-(4-substituted phenyl)-3-hydroxypropyl]valines,-tryptophans, and 3-{[3-hydroxy-3-(4-substituted phenyl)propyl]amino}-3-phenylpropanoic acids. Studies of the biological activities of these compounds showed that some had anti-inflammatory and anticonvulsive activities.
