Definitions

  • This invention is directed to [(ether or thioether)heteroaryl or aryl] compounds, their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, and their pharmaceutical use in the treatment of disease states associated with proteins that mediate cellular activity.
  • TNF is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine which causes hemorrhagic necrosis of tumors and possesses other important biological activities. TNF is released by activated macrophages, activated T-lymphocytes, natural killer cells, mast cells and basophils, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and brain astrocytes among other cells.
  • TNF The principal in vivo actions of TNF can be broadly classified as inflammatory and catabolic. It has been implicated as a mediator of endotoxic shock, inflammation of joints and of the airways, immune deficiency states, allograft rejection, and in the cachexia associated with malignant disease and some parasitic infections. In view of the association of high serum levels of TNF with poor prognosis in sepsis, graft versus host disease and acute respiratory distress syndrome, and its role in many other immunological processes, this factor is regarded as an important mediator of general inflammation.
  • TNF primes or activates neutrophils, eosinophils, fibroblasts and endothelial cells to release tissue damaging mediators. TNF also activates monocytes, macrophages and T-lymphocytes to cause the production of colony stimulating factors and other pro-inflammatory cytokines such ll_ ⁇ , ll_6, ll_8 and GM-CSF, which in some case mediate the end effects of TNF.
  • the ability of TNF to activate T-lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages and related cells has been implicated in the progression of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. In order for these cells to become infected with HIV and for HIV replication to take place the cells must be maintained in an activated state.
  • HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus
  • Cytokines such as TNF have been shown to activate HIV replication in monocytes and macrophages.
  • Endotoxic shock such as fever, metabolic acidosis, hypotension and intravascular coagulation are thought to be mediated through the actions of TNF on the hypothalamus and in reducing the anti-coagulant activity of vascular endothelial cells.
  • the cachexia associated with certain disease states is mediated through indirect effects on protein catabolism.
  • TNF also promotes bone resorption and acute phase protein synthesis.
  • disease states associated with TNF include those disease states related to the production of TNF itself, and disease states associated with other cytokines, such as but not limited to IL-1 , or IL-6, that are modulated by association with TNF.
  • disease states associated with other cytokines such as but not limited to IL-1 , or IL-6, that are modulated by association with TNF.
  • IL-1 IL-1 associated disease state
  • IL-6 IL-6
  • TNF-alpha and TNF-beta are also herein referred to collectively as "TNF” unless specifically delineated otherwise, since there is a close structural homology between TNF-alpha (cachectin) and TNF-beta (lymphotoxin) and each of them has a capacity to induce similar biologic responses and bind to the same cellular receptor.
  • Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase is an important enzyme which regulates cyclic AMP levels and in turn thereby regulates other important biological reactions.
  • inhibitors of type IV cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase have been implicated as being bronchodilators and asthma-prophylactic agents and as agents for inhibiting eosinophil accumulation and of the function of eosinophils, and for treating other diseases and conditions characterized by, or having an etiology involving, morbid eosinophil accumulation.
