Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 83 words
A method of treating inflammation in mammals, which method comprises administering to the mammal a therapeutical effective amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR3## where X is selected from the group consisting of: (a) naphthyl, pyridyl, quinolyl and 2-benzimidazolyl; and (b) a substituted phenyl having the structural formula ##STR4## where R, R' and R" are hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy or combinations thereof and the nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 83 words
A method of treating inflammation in mammals, which method comprises administering to the mammal a therapeutical effective amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR3## where X is selected from the group consisting of: (a) naphthyl, pyridyl, quinolyl and 2-benzimidazolyl; and (b) a substituted phenyl having the structural formula ##STR4## where R, R' and R" are hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 1 -C 6 haloalkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkoxy or combinations thereof and the nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein R' and R" are halogen radicals and R is hydrogen.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein R is a hydrogen, R' is a methyl radical and R" is a chloro radical.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 20 words
The method of claim 1 wherein R is hydrogen, R' is a trihalomethyl radical and R" is a methyl radical.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein R is hydrogen and R' and R" are methyl radicals.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 1 wherein R and R' are chloro radicals and R" is a methyl radical.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein R and R' are methyl radicals and R" is hydrogen.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein R and R' are methoxy radicals and R" is hydrogen.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 25 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of: 2-(2-methylphenylmethoxy)phenol; 2-(3-chlorophenylmethoxy)phenol; 2-(3-trifluoromethylphenylmethoxy)phenol; 2-(4-methoxyphenylmethoxy)phenol; 2-(2,5-dimethylphenylmethoxy)phenol; 2-(2-naphthalenylmethoxy)phenol; 2-(2-pyridylmethoxy)phenol; 2-(2-benzimidazolylmethoxy)phenol; and 2-(2-quinolylmethoxy)phenol.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 33 words
The method of claim 1 which comprises applying topically to the inflammed area a pharmaceutical composition containing a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier material and from about 0.001 to 5% by weight of the compound.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 58 words
A pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of inflammation, which composition comprises a pharmaceutically accepted carrier material and from about 0.001% to 5% by weight of a 2-(arylmethoxy)phenol compound selected from the group consisting of: (a) 2-(2-methylphenylmethoxy)phenol; (b) 2-(3-chlorophenylmethoxy)phenol; (c) 2-(3-trifluoromethylphenylmethoxy)phenol; (d) 2-(4-methoxyphenylmethoxy)phenol; (e) 2-(2,5-dimethylphenylmethoxy)phenol; (f) 2-(2-naphthalenylmethoxy)phenol; (g) 2-(2-pyridylmethoxy)phenol; (h) 2-(2-benzimidazolylmethoxy)phenol; and (i) 2-(2-quinolylmethoxy)phenol and their pharmaceutically accepted salts.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 58 words
A pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of inflammation, which composition comprises a pharmaceutically accepted carrier material and from about 0.001% to 5% by weight of a 2-(arylmethoxy)phenol compound selected from the group consisting of: (a) 2-(2-methylphenylmethoxy)phenol; (b) 2-(3-chlorophenylmethoxy)phenol; (c) 2-(3-trifluoromethylphenylmethoxy)phenol; (d) 2-(4-methoxyphenylmethoxy)phenol; (e) 2-(2,5-dimethylphenylmethoxy)phenol; (f) 2-(2-naphthalenylmethoxy)phenol; (g) 2-(2-pyridylmethoxy)phenol; (h) 2-(2-benzimidazolylmethoxy)phenol; and (i) 2-(2-quinolylmethoxy)phenol and their pharmaceutically accepted salts.
