Summary
N-(o-Carboxybenzoyl)-dl-glutamic acid imide anddl-glutamic acid imide · HCl did not lead to fetal malformations after i.p. administration to pregnant mice; the injected solutions contained 25% Tween 20. Thus, of the 12 hydrolysis products of thalidomide only those 3 which contain the phthalimide moiety show teratogenic activity, i.e. 2-phthalimido-dl-glutaramic acid, 4-phthalimido-dl-glutaramic acid and 2-phthalimido-dl-glutaric acid.
