2-THIO-SUBSTITUTED IMIDAZOLE DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE IN PHARMACEUTICS

The invention relates to 2-thio-substituted imidazole derivatives of formula (I), wherein the radicals R1, R2, R3 and m have the meanings as cited in the description. The inventive compounds comprise an immunomodulatory action and/or an action that inhibits the release of cytokines and are thus suited for treating diseases associated with a disorder of the immune system.

Imidazole inhibitors of cytokine release: Probing substituents in the 2 position

Novel 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazole derivatives were prepared as potential anticytokine agents. Thirty-seven compounds were tested on their ability to inhibit the release of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) from peripheral blood
