Methods of use and pharmaceutical compositions for a genus of low molecular weight compounds comprising optionally substituted isoxazoline ring systems that act as inhibitors of MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor) are disclosed. Specifically, the compounds are useful for treating a variety of diseases involving inflammatory activity or pro-inflammatory cytokine responses, such as autoimmune diseases (including rheumatiod arthritis, insulin-dependent diabetes, multiple sclerosis, graft versus host disease, lupus syndromes), asthma, arthritis, ARDS, psoriasis, interleukin-2 toxicity, proliferative vascular disease, and various forms of sepsis and septic shock, and other conditions characterized by underlying MIF responses including, for instance, tumor growth and neovascularization (angiogenesis).
本发明公开了一种低分子量化合物的使用方法和药物组合物,该化合物包含可选取代的异噁唑啉环系统,可作为 MIF(巨噬细胞迁移抑制因子)的抑制剂。具体来说,这些化合物可用于治疗多种涉及炎症活动或促炎细胞因子反应的疾病,如自身免疫性疾病(包括风湿性关节炎、胰岛素依赖型糖尿病、多发性硬化症、移植物抗宿主病、狼疮综合征)、慢性肾脏病、糖尿病、高血压、高血脂、高血糖等、狼疮综合征)、哮喘、关节炎、ARDS、银屑病、白细胞介素-2毒性、增生性血管疾病、各种形式的败血症和脓毒性休克,以及其他以潜在的 MIF 反应为特征的疾病,包括肿瘤生长和血管新生(血管生成)等。
