The synthesis and the biological activity towards human neutrophils of some N ‐formyl‐Met‐Leu‐Phe‐OMe analogues containing ( S )‐phenylalaninol (Pheol) or its derivatives in place of the native phenylalanine are reported. While the analogue containing Pheol ( 4 ) was found to be devoid of significant biological activity, its esters 3 and 5 , although inactive as chemoattractants, are able to strongly stimulate superoxide production and are active with a lower efficacy in the lysozyme release.
