This invention is directed to a [di(ether or thioether)heteroaryl or fluoro substituted aryl] compound or an N-oxide thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which is useful for inhibiting the production or physiological effects of TNF in the treatment of a patient suffering from a disease state associated with a physiologically detrimental excess of tumor necrosis factor (TNF).
Compounds within the scope of the present invention also inhibit cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, and are useful in treating a disease state associated with pathological conditions that are modulated by inhibiting cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, such disease states including inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, in particular type IV cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. The present invention is therefore directed to their pharmacological use for inhibiting TNF and/or cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, pharmacological compositions comprising the compounds and methods for their preparation.
本发明涉及一种[含有(di(醚或
硫醚)杂环或
氟取代芳基)化合物或其N-氧化物或其药学上可接受的盐],其在治疗患有与肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)生理有害过量相关的疾病状态的患者中,有用于抑制TNF的产生或生理效应。本发明范围内的化合物还抑制环
磷酸腺苷磷酸二酯酶,并且在治疗与抑制环
磷酸腺苷磷酸二酯酶相关的病理条件的疾病状态中有用,这些疾病状态包括炎症和自身免疫性疾病,特别是第四型环
磷酸腺苷磷酸二酯酶。因此,本发明涉及它们的药理用途,用于抑制TNF和/或环
磷酸腺苷磷酸二酯酶,包括含有这些化合物的药理组合物和其制备方法。
