  ABSTRACT: An interesting approach for the design of anti-allergies is rationally considered. It was proved that current anti-allergic drugs comprise piperazine and acrylic acid segments. In harmony with these findings, new products 5a-u were synthesized starting from conjugated 2-thiopheneacrylic acid with amino acid esters3a-g followed by coupling of their acid derivatives4a-g with some piperazine segments, with the aim to increase their biological activities and decrease side effects. The anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory activities of the products were evaluated and promising results were obtained.
