Abstract
Phenylpyruvic acid derivatives are obtained by hydrolyzing aromatic Z/E azlactones. Keto tautomers interact with enzyme systems such as phenylalanine dehydrogenase or carboxypeptidase A whereas enol tautomers are potential inhibitors on the phenylpyruvate tautomerase activity catalysed by Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF). MIF being a key molecule in immune and inflammatory processes several structures with reasonable interactions with MIF and protocol for specific synthesis are presented.
