The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to certain aryl sulfonamides and related compounds (collectively referred to herein as ‘BPSAAA compounds’), as described herein, and including, for example, biphenyl-4-sulfonic acid (hydroxyalkyl-phenyl)-amides and related compounds. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, in treatment and/or prevention, for example, of inflammation and/or joint destruction and/or bone loss; of disorders mediated by excessive and/or inappropriate and/or prolonged activation of the immune system; of, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, for example, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, ankylosing spondylitis, and the like; of disorders associated with bone loss, such as bone loss associated with excessive osteoclast activation in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer associated bone disease, Paget's disease and the like.
本发明涉及治疗化合物领域,更具体地涉及某些芳基磺酰胺和相关化合物(统称为“BPSAAA化合物”),如本文所述,包括例如双苯基-4-磺酸(羟基烷基-苯基)-酰胺和相关化合物。本发明还涉及包含这些化合物的制药组合物,以及这些化合物和组合物在体内外用于治疗和/或预防炎症和/或关节破坏和/或骨质流失的应用,例如过度和/或不适当和/或持久激活免疫系统介导的疾病,炎症和自身免疫性疾病,例如风湿性关节炎、牛皮癣、银屑病性关节炎、慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)、动脉粥样硬化、炎性肠病、强直性脊柱炎等,以及与骨质流失相关的疾病,例如风湿性关节炎中过度破骨细胞激活、骨质疏松症、癌症相关骨病、帕吉特病等。
