EXPERIMENTS

Procedure of the Experiments

Reaction in the sole of the foot, caused by sheep's red blood cells (hereinafter referred to as "SRBC") was used as model of IV-type allergic reaction. To be specific, SRBC was adjusted to 2.5.times.10.sup.6 /ml with physiological saline, and 0.2 ml thereof was injected into the tail veins of BALB/c mice (7-week old, male) and thus sensitized. Four days later, SRBC of the same lot was adjusted to 4.times.10.sup.9 /ml, and 0.025 ml thereof was injected into the skin of the right-foot soles, thereby provoking the reaction. The volume of the right-foot sole of each mouse, measured prior to the provocation of the reaction, was subtracted from the volume of the right-foot sole measured 24 hours after the provocation of the reaction, thus obtaining a difference. From this difference, the degree of the IV-type allergic reaction was determined.

The compounds obtained in the Examples were dissolved in purified water or distilled water, and each was orally administered to a group of mice twice, first immediately before the provocation of the reaction, and then 16 hours thereafter.

The administered amount of the compounds obtained in the Examples was 3.37.times.10.sup.-4 mol/kg in Experiments 1 to 8, and 3.46.times.10.sup.-4 mol/kg in Experiments 9 to 21.

EXAMPLE 1

Acetalization

A solution of 15.3 g of ethyl 4-oxo-1-cyclohexanecarboxylate, 500 ml of ethylene glycol, and 1.8 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid, mixed in 150 ml of toluene, was refluxed and reacted for 3 hours, while the water generated was being removed from the system by a Dean-Stark trap.

The resultant organic layer was combined with the toluene layer, washed three times with an aqueous sodium chloride solution, and then dried over magnesium sulfate. Thereafter, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The oily substance obtained was refined by vacuum distillation, yielding 11.1 g of ethyl 1,4-dioxaspiro

4.5decane-8-carboxylate as a colorless oil, which had the following physiochemical properties:

Amination and Conversion into Non-toxic Salt

0.5 g of sodium hydride was added to a solution of 0.68 g of pyrazole in 50 ml of THF. Next, 1.9 g of N-(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)-4-(2-chloroethoxy)-3-methoxycinnamamide (Example 138) was added to the solution. The solution was reacted for 24 hours, while it was refluxed. After reaction, 2 N hydrochloric acid was added, acidifying the reaction solution. The solution was washed with 100 ml of methylene chloride. Ammonia water was added to the aqueous layer obtained, alkalizing the solution. Thereafter, the solution was extracted with 100 ml of methylene chloride. The organic layer obtained was dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The product obtained was refined by means of silica gel column chromatography using methylene chloride only. Thereafter, the solvent was removed in vacuo, yielding 0.44 g of N-(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)-4-(2-pyrazolylethoxy)-3-methoxycinnamamide (a compound of the present invention) as white crystal, which had the following physiochemical properties:
