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.
该发明涉及一种用于抑制肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)的产生或生理效应的化合物,或其N-氧化物或药用可接受的盐,该化合物适用于治疗患有与生理上有害的肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)过剩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性疾病,特别是第四型环状
AMP磷酸二酯酶。因此,本发明涉及它们在药理上用于抑制TNF和/或环状
AMP磷酸二酯酶的用途,包括含有这些化合物的药理组合物和其制备方法。
