The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to certain aryl-phenyl-sulfonamido-phenylene compounds of the following formula (I) (collectively referred to herein as “APSAP 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, 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 activity in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer-associated bone disease, Paget's disease and the like, etc.; and of cancer, such as a haematological malignancy, a solid tumour, etc.
本发明涉及治疗化合物领域,更具体地涉及以下公式(I)的某些芳基-苯基-磺酰胺基-苯基化合物(以下统称为“APSAP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的使用,无论是在体外还是体内,用于治疗炎症和/或关节破坏和/或骨质流失;治疗由免疫系统过度和/或不适当和/或持续激活引起的疾病;治疗炎症和自身免疫性疾病,例如类风湿性关节炎、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;治疗与骨质流失有关的疾病,例如类风湿关节炎中过度破骨细胞活动引起的骨质流失、骨质疏松症、癌症相关骨病、帕吉特病等;以及治疗癌症,例如血液系统恶性肿瘤、实体瘤等。
