Several thalidomide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity. Introduction of the benzyl group to the parent thalidomide is unfavorable in which 2-(1-benzyl-2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (4a) was inactivated. However, the inhibitory activities on TNF-α and IL-6 expression in HaCaT cells were improved by the substitution of a chloro-or methoxy-group at the phenyl position of 4a. The IL-6 inhibitory activity decreased in an order of 5c (69.44%) > 4c (48.73%) > 6c (3.19%) indicating the 3-substituted derivative is more active than the 4-substituted counterpart, which in turn is more active than the 2-substituted counterpart. Among them, 2-[1-(3-chlorobenzyl)-2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl]isoindoline-1,3-dione (5c) was found to inhibit TNF-α and IL-6 expression in HaCaT cells with a higher potency than thalidomide and no significant cell cytotoxicity was detected at 10 μM. In psoriasis, Compound 5c reduced IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β and IL-24 in imiquimod-stimulated models. Our results indicated that compound 5c is a potential lead of novel anti-psoriasis agents. Structural optimization of compound 5c and its in vivo assay are ongoing.

Compounds of the structure STR1 wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl radicals of 1-6 carbon atoms, the phenyl radical, and the benzyl radical; and wherein R' is selected from the group consisting of the phthalimido radical and the succinimido radical and of the structure STR2 wherein X is CH2 or C=O; R" is H, --CH2 CH3, --C6 H5, --CH2 C6 H5, --CH2 CH=CH2, or STR3 and hydrolysis products of said compounds wherein R" is H and the piperidino ring or both the piperidino and the imido ring are hydrolyzed are useful for the control of abnormal concentrations of TNF α manifested in septic shock, cachexia and HIV infection without substantially effecting the concentration of other cytokines.
