Abstract

A series of cycloalkyl and aralkyl substituted derivatives of resorcinol and other dihydric phenols, bearing the@-carboxypropionyl side chain, were prepared and screened for choleretic activity in the dog. Under experimental conditions several of these comDounds were five to six times as active as dehydrocholic acid and maintained a high level of bile flow for periods up to ten hours.
