The present invention relates to an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of pain, an agent for suppressing activation of osteoclast, and an inhibitor of osteoclast formation, which contains a p38 MAP kinase inhibitor and/or a TNF-α production inhibitor.
A novel series of 4-phenyl-5-pyridyl-1,3-thiazole analogues possessing potent in vitro inhibitory activity against p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and the release of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) from human monocytic THP-1 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide has been identified. Subsequent structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies and optimization for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) profiles led to the identification of compounds 7g and 10b as orally active lead candidates that block the in vivo production of proinflammatory cytokine (TNF-α). In pharmacokinetic studies, compound 10b showed good oral administration in mice and demonstrated significant in vivo anti-inflammatory activity in an anti-collagen monoclonal antibody-induced arthritis mouse model (minimum effective dose (MED)=30 mg/kg). Further elucidation of this class of compounds may provide novel anti-inflammatory agents, such as anti-rheumatoid arthritis drugs.
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical agent containing one or more kinds of a p38 MAP kinase inhibitor and/or a TNF-α production inhibitor and one or more kinds of drugs selected from the group consisting of (1) a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug, (2) a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug, (3) an anti-cytokine drug, (4) an immunomodulator, (5) a steroid and (6) a c-Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitor in combination. This combination agent is useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent of the diseases such as rheumatism, arthritis and the like, and other diseases.
This invention relates to a novel process of preparing selected 5-substituted pyrazoles useful as p38 kinase and COX-2 inhibitors.
这项发明涉及一种新颖的工艺,用于制备作为p38激酶和COX-2抑制剂有用的选定的5-取代吡唑。

To investigate the potency of an adenosine A3 receptor (A3AR) antagonist as an anti-asthmatic drug, a novel series of 4-phenyl-5-pyridyl-1,3-thiazole derivatives was synthesized and evaluated in human adenosine A1, A2A and A3 receptor and rat adenosine A3 receptor binding assays. From investigation of the SAR study, compound 7af was identified as a highly potent human and rat A3AR antagonist. This compound inhibited IB-MECA-induced plasma protein extravasation in the skin of rats and showed good oral absorption. Also, compound 7af significantly inhibited antigen-induced hyper-responsiveness to acetylcholine in actively sensitized Brown Norway rats. These results show that 4-phenyl-5-pyridyl-1,3-thiazole derivatives are potential candidates to enable the evaluation of A3AR antagonists. Further evaluation of this class of compounds may afford a novel anti-inflammatory agent such as an anti-asthmatic drug.
