This invention is directed to compounds of formula I: ##STR1## wherein the variables are as described herein. Compounds within the scope of the present invention possess useful properties, more particularly pharmaceutical properties. They are especially 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. Compounds within the scope of the present invention may also inhibit an MMP, and are useful in treating a disease state associated with pathological conditions that are modulated by inhibiting MMPs, such disease states involve tissue breakdown and those associated with a physiologically detrimental excess of TNF. The present invention is therefore also directed to the pharmaceutical use of the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, intermediates leading thereto and methods for the preparation of the compounds and their intermediates.
这项发明涉及到式I的化合物:##STR1## 其中变量如本文所述。本发明范围内的化合物具有有用的性质,更具体地说是药用性质。它们特别适用于抑制TNF的产生或生理效应,用于治疗患有与生理上有害的肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)过量相关的疾病状态的患者。本发明范围内的化合物还抑制环状AMP磷酸二酯酶,并且适用于治疗与通过抑制环状AMP磷酸二酯酶调节的病理条件相关的疾病状态,这些疾病状态包括炎症和自身免疫疾病,特别是第四型环状AMP磷酸二酯酶。本发明范围内的化合物还可能抑制MMP,并且适用于治疗与通过抑制MMPs调节的病理条件相关的疾病状态,这些疾病状态涉及组织分解以及与生理上有害的TNF过量相关的疾病状态。因此,本发明还涉及化合物的药用,含有该化合物的药物组合物,导致该化合物的中间体以及该化合物及其中间体的制备方法。
