Polyene compounds represented by the general formula ##STR1## where R.dbd.H or lower alkyl group of from 1 to 5 carbon atoms ##STR2## n is 0-1 x is O or S; and R.sub.1 =an alkyl group of from 1 to 5 carbon atoms; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The foregoing compounds have been found to be effective in regulating the formation of lipoxygenese and as such possess therapeutic value in the treatment of inflammatory conditions and allergic responses.
通式为##STR1##其中R=dbd.H或1至5个碳原子的低碳基##STR2##n为0-1,x为O或S;R.sub.1=1至5个碳原子的烷基;以及其药学上可接受的盐。这些化合物已被发现在调节
脂肪氧化酶的形成方面具有有效性,因此在治疗炎症和过敏反应方面具有治疗价值。
