Description

CASPASA INHIBITORS AND USES OF THEM FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to compounds, and compositions thereof, that are useful as caspase inhibitors. This invention also relates to the processes for preparing these compounds. This invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds and to the use of the compounds and compositions thereof for the treatment of diseases and disorders related to conditions caused by caspase.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Caspases are a family of cysteine protease enzymes that are the key suppliers in inflammation. Caspase-1 (ICE) processes pre-IL-lβ to produce the active form of IL-1β [WO 99/47545]. ICE has also been linked to the conversion of pro-IGIF to IGIF and / or to the production of IFN-? [Id.] Both IL-β and IFN-? they contribute to the pathology associated with inflammatory, infectious, and autoimmune diseases (see, for example, WO 99/47545; J.
Invest. Dermatology, 120 (1), pp. 164-167 (2003); Br. J. Derma tology, 141, p. 739-746 (1999); Science, 282, pp. 490-493 (1998); Schweiz. Med. Wochenschr., 130, pp. 1656-1661 (2000)]. Caspases are also key suppliers in the signaling pathways for apoptosis and cell disassembly [N.A. Thornberry, Chem. Biol. , 5, pp. R97-R103 (1998)). These signaling trajectories vary depending on the cell type and stimulus, although all apoptosis trajectories appear to converge on a common effector path that leads to the proteolysis of important proteins. Caspases are involved both in the effector phase of the signaling path and in the additional 5 'direction in its initiation. The caspases in the 5 'direction involved in the initiation events are activated and in turn activate other caspases that are' involved in the later stages of apoptosis. The utility of caspase inhibitors to treat a variety of disease states in mammals associated with an increase in cellular apoptosis has been demonstrated using peptide caspase inhibitors. For example, in rodent models, it has been shown that caspase inhibitors reduce the intensity of infarction and inhibit cardiomyocytic apoptosis after myocardial infarction, reduce the volume of the lesion and the neurological deficit resulting from stroke, to reduce Post-traumatic apoptosis and neurological deficit in traumatic brain injury are effective in the treatment of fulminant hepatic destruction and improve survival after endotoxic shock. [H. Yaoita et al., Circulation, 97, pp. 276-281 (1998); M. Endres et al., J. Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 18, pp. 238-247, (1998); Y. Cheng et al., J. Clin. Invest. , 101, pp. 1992-1999 (1998); A.G. Yakovlev et al., J Neuroscience, 17, pp. 7415-7424 (1997); I. Rodriquez et al., J. Exp. Med., 184, pp. 2067-2072 (1996); Grobmyer et al., Mol. Med., 5, 585 (1999). However, due to their peptide nature, these inhibitors are typically characterized by undesirable pharmacological properties, such as, for example, deficient cellular penetration and cellular activity, poor oral absorption, poor stability and rapid metabolism [J.J. Plattner and D.W. Norbeck, in Drug Discovery Technologies, C.R. Clark and W.H. Moos, Eds.
(Ellis Horwood, Chichester, England, 1990), pp. 92-126]. This has hindered its development into effective drugs. These and other studies with caspase peptide inhibitors have shown that a residue of aspartic acid is involved in a key interaction with the caspase enzyme [K.P. Wilson et al., Nature, 370, pp. 270-275 (1994); Lazebnik et al., Nature, 371, p. 346 (1994)]. Accordingly, peptidyl and peptidyl-free aspartic acid compounds are useful as caspase inhibitors. However, there is a need for compounds that have the ability to act as caspase inhibitors, in particular with selective activity against certain caspases.

For purposes of illustration, the following Schemes are provided for the synthesis of the compounds of the present invention. The following abbreviations are used: EDC is 1- (3-dimethylaminopropyl) -3-ethylcarbodiimide HOBt is 1-hydroxybenzotriazole THF is tetrahydrofuran TFA is trifluoroacetic acid DCM is dichloromethane DMAP is 4-dimethylaminopyridine DIPEA is diisopropylethylamine DMF is dimethylformamide TFA is trifluoroacetic acid Z is benzyloxycarbonyl 1H NMR is nuclear magnetic resonance TLC is thin layer chromatography Scheme I. General scheme for the preparation of E and F B Scheme I represents a general route for preparing the compounds E and F set forth in this invention. The amino group of species A, obtained easily from the reduction of the α-carboxylic group of aspartic acid (protected with PGi as an ester), is coupled to the carboxylic acid entity of species B (N-protected with PG2) ) to provide the species C. PGX and PG2 are orthogonal protecting groups (ie, protecting groups where a protecting group can be removed selectively in the presence of another protective group.) Ideally, PGX should be able to be removed without removing PG2 and vice versa) . Here, the aspartate portion of the molecule is then manipulated in an oxidation / chelation / deprotection / cyclization sequence to provide D. Portion A of ring D then becomes functionally additional to provide E which forms part of the disclosed invention. The deprotection of the ketal provides the species F which represents the other part of the invention disclosed. In various embodiments of this invention, PG2 is a suitable amine protecting group, including, but not limited to, the amine protecting groups described in T.W. Greene & P.G.M Wutz, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", 3rd. Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., (1999 and other editions) ("Greene"). A "Z" (benzyloxycarbonyl) protecting group is a particularly N-protecting group useful for use in conjunction with this invention. In compounds where PG2 is protecting the nitrogen atom of a proline, PG is preferably Z. It is to be understood that the modified Z groups ("Z-type protecting groups") used in conjunction with the compounds and processes of this invention are also within the scope of this invention. For example, z could be substituted in the CH2 group or the phenyl group with R8 (preferably halo or C? -e straight or branched chain alkyl) to provide a Z-type protecting group. In various embodiments of this invention, PGi is a suitable carboxylic acid protecting group, including, but not limited to, the acidic protecting groups described in Greene. In certain embodiments, PGi is a C? -6 straight or branched chain alkyl group. A t-butyl group is a particularly useful acid protecting group for use in connection with this invention. In Scheme I, compound A is a residue of modified aspartic acid. In addition to compound A, other residues of modified aspartic acid have been reported, including the following: wherein, PG3 and PG4 are suitable protecting groups. These modified aspartic acids can be prepared by methods known to those skilled practitioners. See, for example, the publication of US patent application 2002/0042376 (especially page 9, paragraph [0121] and pages 21-22, paragraph [0250] and the documents cited in paragraph [ 0123]) and U.S. Patent 6,235,899.

Scheme II. Preparation of the compounds of the Formulas I and II Reagent and conditions: (a) R COOH, HOBt, DMAP, EDC, THF; (b) R3CONHCH (R2) COOH, HOBt, DMAP, EDC, THF; (c) 2M HCl, MeCN. Scheme II represents the formation of the compounds of formulas I and II, wherein Ring A is unsubstituted proline. Here, the cyclic acetal form of a compound of this invention is represented as the formula I and the aldehyde form is represented as the formula II. Compounds having a Ring A other than unsubstituted proline could be substituted in the methods depicted in Scheme I. Scheme II represents the routes used to prepare the compounds of Formulas I and II.
The compounds I can be prepared from the compounds 1 by condensation of the amino group at 1 with the carboxylic acid having a suitable (or derivative) functional group. In this step, standard coupling reagents have been represented to form the amide bonds; other conditions known in the art to form the amide bonds can also be used. As is known to those skilled practitioners, a carboxylic acid (-C (O) OH) can be coupled to the amine under the conditions suitable for the coupling of amines and carboxylic acids. Alternatively, in these couplings, a carboxylic acid derivative (-C (O) X) can be used in place of the carboxylic acid. It should be understood that in the context of the coupling of an amine and a carboxylic acid derivative, the derivative could activate the acid to facilitate coupling to an amine. Suitable groups X are essentially leaving groups and are known to those skilled practitioners. "March's Advanced Organic Chemistry", 5a. Ed., Ed .: Smith, M.B. and March, J., John Wiley & Sons, New York: 2001. Typical conditions for the coupling of an amine and an acid include combining a suitable solvent, a carboxylic acid, a base, and a reagent for peptide coupling. Examples of suitable conditions are described in US2002 / 0042376 and WO 01/81330, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. In certain modalities, the conditions are as described in the Schemes and Examples herein. Examples of suitable derivatives include, but are not limited to, compounds of the formula RX wherein X is Cl, F, OC (= 0) R "(R" is aliphatic or aryl), SH, SR, SAr, or SeAr.

Here, proline is N-protected with a Z group (benzyloxycarbonyl). The compounds 3 are then oxidized in the aldehydes 4 which are treated with acetyl in itself to provide the acetals 5. The acetals can be formed in the presence of R 1 -OH (or a suitable acid-forming reagent), a protic acid ( example, TsOH), or a Lewis acid, and a suitable solvent. Examples of suitable acid-forming reagents forming the compounds wherein R 1 is converted to ethyl can be considered ethanol equivalents and include, but are not limited to, triethyl orthoformate or a diethylacetal, such as, for example, a (CH 3) 2 C (OCH 2 CH 3) 2.

Preferred oxidation conditions are those that are mild and relatively fast to minimize epimerization in the acid side chain of the modified aspartic acid residue. In one embodiment, the oxidation step is a TEMPO oxidation (see the following Example 1-1, Method C). Other oxidation conditions include a Dess-Martin oxidation and an oxidation with tetrapropylammonium perruthenate (TPAP). The aldehydes 4 can be isolated, but preferably they are taken directly to 5 without isolation. Deprotection of the tert-butyl ester (in 5) is accompanied by spontaneous cyclization of rings to provide a mixture of diastereoisomers that were separated by column chromatography to provide enantiomerically pure syn-ketals 6 and anti-ketals (not shown in this scheme ). The deprotection can be carried out under conditions of protic acid or Lewis acid in a suitable solvent. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, toluene, chlorobenzene, and DCM. Suitable protic acids include, but are not limited to, TFA, p-TsOH. Suitable Lewis acids include, but are not limited to, TiCl 4, MgBr 2, and ZnCl 2. For clarity of the scheme, only the synatals are represented in the next steps to form the compounds 7 and 1 although the same sequence can be used to form the anti-ketals. The compounds 6 are subjected to hydrogenolysis and the resulting compounds 7 are reacted with the Z-protected aminoacids, using conditions known in the art to prepare amide bonds, to provide the compound 9. The compounds 7 can be generated and used in if you If they are isolated, it is preferred to use compound 7 relatively shortly after generation.

The compounds of this invention are useful as dual inhibitors of caspase-1 and capase-8. Without being bound by theory, the R2 and R3 groups of the compounds of this invention appear to be related to this surprising activity. The groups with bridge A of the compounds of this invention, such as for example, also appear to be related to this surprising activity. As such, the compounds and compositions of this invention in particular are useful for treating or preventing inflammatory conditions.
According to another embodiment, the compositions of this invention may further comprise another therapeutic agent (i.e., one or more additional agents). These agents include, but are not limited to, thrombolytic agents such as, for example, tissue plasminogen activator and streptokinase. When an additional agent is used, the additional agent can be administered either as a separate dosage form or as part of an individual dosage with the compounds or compositions of this invention. The amount of the compound present in the compositions of this invention should be sufficient to cause a discernible decrease in the severity of the disease or in caspase activity and / or cellular apoptosis, as measured by any of the assays known in the art. . Dosage levels between about 0.01 and 50 or about 100 mg / kg of body weight per day, preferably between 0.5 and 75 mg / kg of body weight per day and more preferably between about 1 and 25 or about 50 mg / kg of body weight per day of the compound of the active ingredient are useful in a monotherapy. Typically, a compound or composition of this invention will be administered between about 1 and 5 times a day or alternatively, as a continuous infusion. This administration can be used as a chronic or acute therapy. The amount of the active ingredient that can be combined with the carrier materials to produce an individual dosage form will vary, depending on the host treated and the particular mode of administration. A typical preparation will contain between about 5% and 95% of the active compound (w / w). Preferably, these preparations contain between about 20% and 80% of the active compound. When the compositions of this invention comprise a combination of a compound of this invention and one or more additional therapeutic or prophylactic agents, both the compound and the additional agent should be present at dosage levels between about 10% and 100%, and of greater preference between approximately 10% and 80% of the dosage normally administered in a monotherapy regimen. At the time of improving the condition of a patient, if necessary a maintenance dose of a compound, composition or combination of this invention can be administered. Accordingly, the dosage or frequency of administration, or both, can be reduced, as a function of the symptoms, at a level at which the improved condition is maintained when the symptoms have been alleviated to the desired level, the treatment should be discontinued. However, patients may require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis at the time of any recurrence of the symptoms of the disease. As the experienced practitioner will appreciate, lower or higher doses than mentioned above may be required. It should be understood that a specific dosage and treatment regimens for any particular patient will depend on a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, rate of excretion , combination of drugs, severity and course of the particular disease, disposition of the patient to the disease that will be treated, and the judgment of the attending physician. The amount of the active ingredients will also depend on the particular compound and another therapeutic agent, if present, in the composition. In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a method for the treatment of a patient, preferably a mammal, having one of the aforementioned diseases, comprising the step of administering to the patient said a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable composition described above. In this embodiment, if the patient is also administered another therapeutic agent or caspase inhibitor, this can be delivered together with the compound of this invention in a single dosage form, or, as a separate dosage form. When administered as a separate dosage form, the other caspase inhibitor or agent may be administered before, at the same time, or after administration of a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising a compound of this invention. The compounds of this invention can also be incorporated into compositions for coating implantable medical devices, such as, for example, prostheses, artificial valves, vascular grafts, fasteners and catheters. Accordingly, the present invention, in another aspect, includes a composition for coating an implantable medical device, comprising a compound of the present invention and a suitable carrier for coating the implantable device. In still another aspect, the present invention includes an implantable device coated with a composition comprising a compound of the present invention and a suitable carrier for coating the implantable device.
Another aspect of the invention relates to inhibiting the activity of caspase in a biological sample, the method comprises contacting the biological sample with a compound of this invention, or a composition comprising the compound. The term "biological sample", in the sense in which it is used herein, includes, without limitation, cell cultures or extracts thereof; material subjected to biopsy obtained from a mammal or extracts thereof; and blood, saliva, urine, feces, semen, tears, or other bodily fluids or extracts thereof. The inhibition of caspase activity in a biological sample is useful for a variety of purposes that are known to one skilled in the art. Examples of these purposes include, but are not limited to, blood transfusion, organ transplantation, storage of biological specimens, and biological analyzes. The compounds of this invention are useful in methods for preserving cells, as may be necessary for organ transplantation or for the preservation of blood products. Similar uses have been reported for caspase inhibitors [Schierle et al., Nature Medicine, 5, 97 (1999)]. The method involves treating the cells or tissue that will be conserved with a solution comprising the caspase inhibitor. The amount of the caspase inhibitor needed will depend on the effectiveness of the inhibitor for the cell type determined and the time required to prevent the cells from experiencing apoptotic cell death. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the cyclic acetal compounds of the applicant will be prodrugs. That is, the acetal portion is cleaved in vi to provide a corresponding acid-aldehyde compound. As would be recognized by an experienced practitioner, the chemical compounds can be metabolized in vi, for example, at a site other than the site for the cleavage of the prodrug. Any of these metabolites are included within the scope of this invention. In order that this invention be understood more fully, the following preparatory and test examples are established. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any way.

Table 4. Cost-face data for the selected packages of Formula II (According to the number of the package) EXAMPLE III Biological Methods The compounds of this invention can be tested using the methods described below. Table 5 lists the inhibition data of the enzyme caspase-1 and caspase-8 for compounds II-1-II-25. In the Table, compounds with a Ki of < 10 are assigned category A, compounds with a Ki of 10-20 are assigned category B, and compounds with a Ki of 21-30 are assigned category C.
IN VITRO ANALYSIS Inhibition of enzymes The Ki values for the test compounds with caspase-1 and caspase-8 were obtained by the method of Margolin et al. (J. Biol. Chem., 272 pp. 7223-7228 (1997)). Other caspases can be analyzed in a similar manner (see, for example, WO 99/47545). Analyzes were performed in 10 mM Tris (Sigma Corp, St. Louis MO) pH 7.5, 1 mM Dithiothreitol, (DTT, Research Organic Inc., Cleveland, OH) and 0.1% CHAPS (Pierce, Rockford IL) at 37 ° C. For caspase-3, an 8% glycerol solution was added to the assay buffer solution to improve the stability of the enzyme. An aliquot of 65 μL of the buffer solution for analysis and an aliquot of 5μL of the appropriate dilutions of the inhibitor in DMSO were pipetted into a 96-well plate, treated with 10 μL of caspase, then diluted in buffer for analysis (protein active 0.5-40 nM by means of active site assessment). A DMSO containing the control but not the compound was included for each determination. The plates were then incubated for 15 minutes at 37 ° C, before the addition of the appropriate substrate (20 μL, final concentration 1-4 x KM, volume for final analysis of 100 μL) to initiate the reaction. Reaction rates were measured at 37 ° C either by following the time dependent increase in absorbance at 405 nM (for pNA substrates) or in fluorescence (Ex 390, Em 460) (for AMC substrates). The velocities obtained were plotted against the concentration of the inhibitor and the data adapted to the Morrison precise binding equation for competitive inhibitors (Morrison, J.F., Biochem. Biophys. Acta, 185 pp. 269-286 (1969)). The substrates used for the individual analyzes were as follows: Caspasa-1 Suc-YVAD-pNA (Bachem, King of Prussia, PA) (final concentration in the 80 μM analysis); Caspasa-8 Ac-DEVD-pNA (Bachem, King of Prussia, PA) (final concentration in the 80 μM analysis); Table 5: Inhibition data for caspase-1 (Cl) and caspase-8 (c8). Compound Ki Cl (nM) Ki C8 (nM) CELL ANALYSIS PBMC Analysis IL-lβ with a mixed population of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or adherent mononucleoside enriched cells The processing of pre-IL-lβ by ICE can be measured in cell culture using a variety of cellular sources. Human PBMC obtained from healthy donors provide a mixed population of lymphocyte and mononuclear cell subtypes that produce a spectrum of interleukins and cytokines in response to many classes of physiological stimulants. Adherent mononuclear cells from PBMCs provide an enriched source of normal monocytes for selective studies of cytokine production by activated cells.
Experimental procedure; An initial dilution series of the test compound in DMSO or ethanol is prepared, with a subsequent dilution in RPMI-10% FBS medium (containing 2 mM L-glutamine, 10 mM HEPES, 50 U and 50 ug / ml pen / strep) respectively for drug production at 4x the final test concentration containing 0.4% DMSO or 0.4% ethanol. The final concentration of DMSO is 0.1% for all dilutions of the drug. An assessment of the concentration in square brackets shows the apparent K for a test compound determined in an ICE inhibition analysis generally used for the selection of the primary compound. In general, 5-6 dilutions of the compound were tested and the cellular component of the analysis was performed in duplicate, with ELISA determinations in duplicate on each cell culture supernatant.
Isolation of PBMC and IL-1 analysis Cells with buffy coat isolated from human blood in pinta (yield 40-45 ml of final volumetric plasma plus cells) are diluted with media to 80 ml and tubes for LeukoPREP separation (Becton Dickinson ) each were coated with 10 ml of cell suspension. After 15 min of centrifugation at 1500-1800 xg, the plasma / media layer is aspirated and then the cell mononuclear layer is collected with a Pasteur pipette and transferred to a 15 ml conical tube for centrifugation (Corning). The medium is added to bring the volume to 15 ml, gently mixing the cells by inversion and centrifugation at 300 xg for 15 min. The PBMC granules were resuspended in a small volume of media, cells were counted and adjusted to 6 x 10 6 cells / ml. For cell analysis, 1.0 ml of the cell suspension was added to each well of a 24-well flat-bottomed tissue culture plate (Corning), 0.5 ml of test compound dilution and 0.5 ml of LPS solution (Sigma # L-3012, 20 ng / ml of the solution prepared in complete RPMl medium, final concentration of LPS 5 ng / ml). Additions of 0.5 ml of the test compound and LPS were usually sufficient to mix the contents of the cavities. Three control mixtures were run per experiment, either with LPS alone, vehicle solvent control, and / or additional means to adjust the final culture volume to 2.0 ml. The cell cultures were incubated for 16-18 hr at 37 ° C in the presence of 5% C02. At the end of the incubation period, the cells were harvested and transferred to conical tubes for 15 ml centrifugation. After centrifugation for 10 min at 200 xg, the supernatants were harvested and transferred to 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes. It can be seen that the cell granules can be used for a biochemical evaluation of the content of pre-IL-1β and / or mature IL-1β in cytosol extracts by Western blot or ELISA with specific pre-IL-β antisera.
Isolation of adherent mononucleosis cells: The PBMCs were isolated and prepared as described above. The medium (1.0 ml) was added first to the cavities followed by 0.5 ml of the PBMC suspension. After one hour of incubation, the plates were shaken gently and the non-adherent cells were aspirated from each cavity. The wells were then gently washed three times with 1.0 ml of media and finally resuspended in 1.0 ml of media. Enrichment for adherent cells generally provides 2.5-3.0 x 105 cells per well. The addition of the test compounds, LPS, the conditions for cell incubation and the processing of the supernatants proceeded as described above.
ELISA; Quantikine equipment (R & D Systems) can be used for the measurement of mature IL-lß. The analyzes were carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Mature IL-1β levels of approximately 1-3 ng / ml were observed in both PBMC and positive controls of adherent mononuclear cells. The ELISA analyzes were performed in 1: 5, 1:10 and 1:20 dilutions of the supernatants of the LPS-positive controls to select the optimal dilution for the supernatants in the test panel. The inhibitory potency of the compounds can be represented by an IC50 value, which is the concentration of the inhibitor in which 50% of mature IL-1β is detected in the supernatant compared to the positive controls. The experienced practitioner will understand that the values obtained in cellular analyzes may depend on multiple factors. The values do not necessarily represent fine quantitative results. Selected compounds of this invention have been tested for the inhibition of IL-1β release from PBMC with IC50 values between 300 nM and 4 μM.
Whole blood analysis for the production of IL-lß The IC50 values of the whole blood analysis for the compounds of this invention can be obtained using the method described below: End; The whole blood test is a simple method to measure the production of IL-lß (or other cytokines) and the activity of potential inhibitors. The complexity of this system of analysis, with its total complement of lymphoid and inflammatory cell types, the spectrum of plasma proteins and red blood cells is an ideal representation of the physiological conditions of human beings.

Aliquot of 0.25ml of blood in 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes. Remark: Be sure to invert the tubes of the whole blood sample after every two aliquots. Differences in replicates can result if the cells settle and are not suspended evenly. The use of a pipette for positive displacement will also minimize the differences between replicated aliquots. Preparation of dilutions of drugs in sterile, pyrogen-free saline solution by serial dilution. A series of dilutions with the K¿ evident in brackets for a test compound determined in an analysis for ICE inhibition for the selection of the primary compound. For the extremely hydrophobic compounds, prepare the dilutions of the compounds in fresh plasma obtained from the same blood donor or in 5% DMSO containing PBS to enhance the solubility. Add 25 μl of the dilution of the test compound or vehicle control and shake the sample gently. Then add 5.0 μl of the LPS solution (250 ng / ml concentrate, freshly prepared: 5.0 ng / ml final concentration of LPS), and mix again. Incubate the tubes at 30 ° C in a bath with water for 16-18 hr with occasional mixing. Alternatively, the tubes can be placed in a rotating assembly at 4 rpm during the same incubation period. This analysis could be prepared in duplicate or triplicate with the following controls: negative control - without LPS; positive control - without the test inhibitor; vehicle control - higher concentration of DMSO or the solvent of the compound used in the experiment. Additional saline was added to all the control tubes to normalize the volumes for the test samples with both control and experimental whole blood. After the incubation period, the whole blood samples are centrifuged for 10 minutes at ~2000 rpm in a microcentrifuge, the plasma is transferred to a fresh microcentrifuge tube and centrifuged at 1000 x g to the residual granule platelets if necessary. Plasma samples can be stored at -70 ° C before analysis for cytokine levels by ELISA. ELISA: Quantikine equipment from R &D Systems (614 McKinley Place N.E. Minneapolis, MN 55713) can be used for the measurement of IL-lß and TNF-a. The analyzes were carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. IL-1β levels of -1-5 ng / ml can be observed in positive controls among a variety of individuals. A 1: 200 plating dilution for all samples in general is sufficient for the experiments so that the ELISA results lie in the linear variation of the standard ELISA curves. It may be necessary to optimize the standard dilutions if differences are observed in the whole blood analysis. Nerad, J.L. et al., J. Leukocyte Biol., 52, pp. 687-692 (1992). Selected compounds of this invention have been tested for the inhibition of IL-1β release from whole blood with IC 50 values between 1 μM and 40 μM.
