, (2008/06/13)
Compounds having utility as antinflammatory agents in general and, more specifically, for the prevention and/or treatment of immunoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases are disclosed. The compounds are pyrimidine- or pyrazine-containing compounds and, in one embodiment, are carboxyamides of the same. Methods are also disclosed for preventing and/or treating inflammatory conditions by administering to an animal in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of this invention, preferably in the form of a pharmaceutical composition.

Described is the identification of a novel series of compounds that blocks the activation of two key transcription factors, AP-1 and NF-κB. These transcription factors regulate the expression of several critical proinflammatory proteins and cytokines and represent attractive targets for drug discovery. Through the use of high throughput screening and solution- phase parallel synthesis, inhibitors of both NF-κB and AP-1 were identified. In subsequent testing, these compounds were also shown to block both IL-2 and IL-8 levels in the same cells. One of the most potent compounds in this series, 28, was active in several animal models of inflammation and immunosuppression, thus validating the importance of AP-1 and NF-κB as potential therapeutic targets. The synthesis and preliminary structure- activity relationships of these compounds is addressed.
