Definitions

• the present invention relates to a chemical genus of purinones and IH- imidazopyridinones which are useful as PKC ⁇ inhibitors.
• PKC protein kinase C
• PKC ⁇ is expressed predominantly in lymphoid tissue and skeletal muscle. It has been shown that PKC ⁇ is essential for T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated T-cell activation but inessential during TCR-dependent thymocyte development. PKC ⁇ , but not other PKC isoforms, translocates to the site of cell contact between antigen- specific T-cells and antigen presenting cells (APC), where it localizes with the TCR in the central core of the T-cell activation. PKC ⁇ , but not the a, &, or ⁇ isoenzymes, selectively activated a FasL promoter-reporter gene and upregulated the mRNA or cell surface expression of endogenous FasL.
• TCR T-cell receptor
• APC antigen presenting cells
• PKC ⁇ and ⁇ promoted T-cell survival by protecting the cells from Fas-induced apoptosis, and this protective effect was mediated by promoting p90Rsk-dependent phosphorylation of BAD.
• PKC 6> appears to play a dual regulatory role in T-cell apoptosis.
• PKC # in T-cells and its essential role in mature T- cell activation establish that PKC ⁇ inhibitors are useful for the treatment or prevention of disorders or diseases mediated by T lymphocytes, for example, autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus, and inflammatory disease such as asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases.

• IL-2 is a T cell-derived lymphokine that modulates immunological effects on many cells of the immune system, including cytotoxic T cells, natural killer cells, activated B cells and lymphokine-activated cells. It is a potent T cell mitogen that is required for the T cell proliferation, promoting their progression from Gl to S phase of the cell cycle. It is a growth factor for all subpopulations of T lymphocytes, as well as stimulating the growth of NK cells. It also acts as a growth factor to B cells and stimulates antibody synthesis.
• IL-2 Due to its effects on both T and B cells, IL-2 is a major central regulator of immune responses. It plays a role in anti- inflammatory reactions, tumor surveillance, and hematopoiesis. It also affects the production of other cytokines, inducing IL-I, TNF - ⁇ and TNF- ⁇ secretion, as well as stimulating the synthesis of IFN- ⁇ in peripheral leukocytes. IL-2, although useful in the immune response, also causes a variety of problems. IL-2 damages the blood-brain barrier and the endothelium of brain vessels. These effects may be the underlying causes of neuropsychiatric side effects observed under IL-2 therapy, e.g. fatigue, disorientation and depression. It also alters the electrophysiological behavior of neurons.
• T cells that are unable to produce IL-2 become inactive (anergic). This renders them potentially inert to any antigenic stimulation they might receive in the future.
• agents which inhibit IL-2 production may be used for immunosupression or to treat or prevent inflammation and immune disorders. This approach has been clinically validated with immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporin, FK506, and RS61443.
