WO 83/01774 and WO 83/91775 of Riker Laboratories, both published May 26, 1983; WO 93/07865 of The Procter Gamble Company, published April 29, 1993; Kaffenberger, T.H. Eichhold M.J. Doyle, "Determination of Tebufelone (A New Anti-Inflammatory Drug) Strength and Stability in Bulk Drug, Dosage Formulations and Feed Admixtures by Reversed- Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography", Journal of Chromatographv, Vol. 505 (1990), pp. 349-356. Such compounds are also disclosed and reviewed in Batt, "5-Lipoxygenase Inhibitors and Their Anti-inflammatory Activities", Progress in Medicinal Chemistry, Vol 29 (1992), pp. 1-15, 45-50, and references disclosed therein.
Although a number of di-tert-butylphenol compounds have been demonstrated to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity, many such compounds exhibit little or no anti-inflammatory activity. Thus it is generally not possible to predict whether such compounds have substantial anti-inflammatory activity without testing for the activity.
It is an object of the subject invention to provide compounds which have effective anti-inflammatory, analgesic and/or anti-oxidant activity.
It is a further object of the subject invention to provide such compounds which cause few adverse side effects.
It is also an object of the subject invention to provide methods for treating inflammation and/or pain using the subject compounds.

C
HO C (O)-CHR- (CH2)n-C(O)-(CH2)m--CH 3
(CH
3 3
C
In the above structure, n is an integer of from 1 to about 5, preferably from 1 to 4, more preferably 1 or 2 or 3, most preferably 2. In the above structure, m is an integer of from 0 to about 3, preferably from 0 to 2, more preferably 0 or 1, most preferably 0.
In the above structure, -R is hydrogen or straight or branched chain alkanyl having from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms. -R is preferably .1 hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, most preferably hydrogen.
Preferred compounds useful in the subject invention include: 4-(1,5-dioxohexyl)-2,6-di-tert-butylphenol and 4-(1,4-dioxopentyl)-2,6di-tert-butylphenyl.
In order to determine and assess pharmacological activity, testing of the subject compounds in animals is carried out using various assays known to those skilled in the art. The anti-inflammatory activity of the subject compounds can be conveniently demonstrated using an assay designed to test the ability of the subject compounds to antagonize the local edema which is characteristic of the inflammatory response. Examples of such known tests include the rat carrageenan edema test, the oxazolone-induced inflamed mouse ear test, and the mouse arachadonic acid-induced inflamed ear test. Analgesic activity may be tested in art-known models such as the phenylbenzoquinoneinduced writhing test in mice, and the Randall Selitto test in rats.
Another useful art-known test is the rat adjuvant arthritis test which is a useful model for assessing anti-inflammatory activity, anti-arthritic and anti-resorptive activity in a chronic, rather than an acute, model.

Many anti-inflammatory drugs, particularly non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) cause undesirable gastrointestinal side effects, especially when dosed perorally; such side effects may include ulcers and erosions. These side effects, which are often asymptomatic, can become serious enough to require hospitalization and can even be lethal. Compounds of the subject invention generally cause fewer such gastrointestinal side effects compared to other NSAIDs, even compared to many other di-tert-butylphenol derivatives.
Certain NSAIDs, including certain di-tert-butylphenol derivatives, when dosed systemically, cause an undesirable increase in systemic levels of certain liver enzymes. Compounds of the subject invention generally cause less of such liver enzyme side effects compared to other di-tert-butylphenol compounds.
