Abstract
Abstract In vitro metabolism studies on a series of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl ethers have identified 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid as a significant metabolite possibly arising via oxidation of the benzylic position. A methyl group was introduced in an effort to suppress this route of metabolism. One diastereoisomer displayed an increase in affinity and a marked improvement in duration of action.
