The invention provides compounds, compositions and uses of compounds of general formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are 3-aminocaprolactam derivatives, for the preparation of a medicament intended to treat an inflammatory disorder wherein X is -CO-Y-(R1)n or SO2-Y-(R1)n; and Y is 0 cycloalkyl or polycyloalkyl group (such as an adamantyl, adamantanemethyl, bicyclooctyl, cyclohexyl, cyclopropyl group); or is 0 cycloalkenyl or polycycloalkenyl group.

A series of 3-acylaminocaprolactams are inhibitors of chemokine-induced chemotaxis. Branching of the side chain alpha-carbon provides highly potent inhibitors of a range of CC and CXC chemokines. The most potent compound has an ED50 of 40 pM. Selected compounds were tested in an in vivo inflammatory assay, and the best compound reduces TNF-alpha levels with an ED50 of 0.1 mu g/kg when administered by either subcutaneous injection or oral delivery.
