General description

4-Biphenylacetic acid is a potential non-steroidal antiinflammatory agent and forms solid inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin. 4-Biphenylacetic acid on interaction with quinolone antibacterial agents induces functional blockade of the γ-aminobutyric acid receptors.

Application

4-Biphenylacetic acid was used in the synthesis of gastrosparing non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug.
