Imidazolyl benzimidazoles and imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines as potent p38α MAP kinase inhibitors with excellent in vivo antiinflammatory properties
摘要:
Herein we report investigations into the p38 alpha MAP kinase activity of trisubstituted imidazoles that led to the identification of compounds possessing highly potent in vivo activity. The SAR of a novel series of imidazopyridines is demonstrated as well, resulting in compounds possessing cellular potency and enhanced in vivo activity in the rat collagen-induced arthritis model of chronic inflammation.
