The development of potent, orally bioavailable (in rat) and selective dihydroquinazolinone inhibitors of p38alpha MAP kinase is described. These analogues are hybrids of a pyridinylimidazole p38alpha inhibitor reported by Merck Research Laboratories and VX-745. Optimization of the C-5 phenyl and the C-7 piperidinyl substituents led to the identification of 15i which gave excellent suppression of TNF-alpha production in LPS-stimulated whole blood (IC(50)=10nM) and good oral exposure in rats (F=68%, AUCn PO=0.58 microM h). 相似文献

In the present study, we sought to investigate the signal transduction pathways of expression of cytokines in the ethanol-stimulated human mast cell line, HMC-1. Ethanol significantly increased the intracellular calcium level in HMC-1. Ethanol also significantly enhanced IL-6, TNF-alpha, and TGF-beta1 production compared with media control, but did not significantly affect the IL-1beta production. After 8 h of stimulation, ethanol increased mRNA and protein expression levels of TNF-alpha and TGF-beta1 in HMC-1. The increased cytokine level was significantly inhibited by BAPTA-AM, PD98059, and SB203580. These inhibitors also inhibited ethanol-induced ERK and p38 MAPK phosphorylation. Ethanol resulted in a great increase in protein levels and promoter activity driving luciferase expression of HIF-1alpha and NF-kappaB in HMC-1 cells, but it did not affect on HIF-1alpha mRNA expression. Our observations show that calcium, MAPK activation, HIF-1alpha, and NF-kappaB are necessary for ethanol-induced TNF-alpha and TGF-beta1 expression. These results may have important implications for the study of alcohol-related diseases. 相似文献

4-Aryl-5-pyrimidyl-based cytokine synthesis inhibitors of TNF-alpha production, which contain a novel bicyclic pyrazole heterocyclic core, are described. Many of these inhibitors showed low nanomolar activity against LPS-induced TNF-alpha production in a THP-1 cell-based assay and against human p38 alpha MAP kinase in an isolated enzyme assay. The X-ray crystal structure of a bicyclic pyrazole inhibitor co-crystallized with mutated p38 (mp38) is presented. 相似文献

4-Aryl-5-pyrimidyl based cytokine synthesis inhibitors that contain a novel monocyclic, pyrazolone heterocyclic core are described. Many of these inhibitors showed low nanomolar activity against LPS-induced TNF-alpha production. One of the compounds (6e) was found to be efficacious in the rat iodoacetate (RIA) in vivo model of osteoarthritis. The X-ray crystal structure of a pyrazolone inhibitor cocrystallized with mutated p38 (mp38) is presented. 相似文献

In the present study the quantitative role of p42/44 and p38 in the production of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-12 by murine peritoneal macrophages, in vitro, on treatment with Concanavalin A (ConA) has been investigated. Maximum expression/production of cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-12 was observed after 16 h by RT-PCR and 24 h by ELISA, on in vitro treatment with ConA. To investigate the role of MAP kinases in the production of cytokines, pharmacological inhibitors of MAP kinases--PD98059, SB202190 and SP600125, were used. The expression of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-12 was down regulated in the presence of PD98059 and SB202190 in a dose dependent manner, suggesting the involvement of p42/44 and p38 in ConA induced production of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-12 by macrophages. It was observed that SP600125 did not have any effect on the expression of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-12. Using different combinations of MAPK inhibitors, it was found that 45% signal is conveyed via p42/44 and 25% via p38 in the production of these cytokines, by ConA treated macrophages while 30% signal passes through unidentified pathways. 相似文献

The MAP kinase p38 is implicated in the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta. Inhibition of cytokine release may be a useful treatment for inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. A novel series of imidazopyrimidines have been discovered that potently inhibit p38 and suppress the production of TNF-alpha in vivo. 相似文献

A new class of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) synthesis inhibitors based on an N-2,4-pyrimidine-N-phenyl-N'-phenyl urea scaffold is described. Many of these compounds showed low-nanomolar activity against lipopolysaccharide stimulated TNF-alpha production. X-ray co-crystallization studies with mutated p38alpha showed that these trisubstituted ureas interact with the ATP-binding pocket in a pseudo-bicyclic conformation brought about by the presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bonding interaction. 相似文献

The synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of p38alpha MAP kinase inhibitors based on heterobicyclic scaffolds are described. This effort led to the identification of compound (21) as a potent inhibitor of p38alpha MAP kinase with good cellular potency toward the inhibition of TNF-alpha production. X-ray co-crystallography of an oxalamide analog (24) bound to unphosphorylated p38alpha is also disclosed. 相似文献

Several lines of evidence have supported a link between obesity and inflammation. The present study investigated the capacity of leptin and globular adiponectin to affect tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) production in murine peritoneal macrophages. Leptin stimulated TNF-alpha production at mRNA as well as protein levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Intracellular cAMP concentration was increased and protein kinase A (PKA) was activated with the treatment of leptin, subsequently downstream MAPK signal proteins, ERK1/2 and p38, were phosphorylated. Specific inhibitors for the signal proteins, Rp cAMPS, H89, PD98059, and U0126, or SB203580, suppressed the signaling pathway and TNF-alpha expression. Although gAd partially increased cAMP concentration and PKA activity, it directly reduced leptin-induced ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation thus inhibiting TNF-alpha production. In conclusion, leptin promotes inflammation by stimulating TNF-alpha production, which is mediated by cAMP-PKA-ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK pathways. gAd inhibited leptin-induced TNF-alpha production through suppressing phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38 pathways. 相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein kinases and NF-kappa B are involved in TNF-alpha responses to group B streptococci 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Mancuso G Midiri A Beninati C Piraino G Valenti A Nicocia G Teti D Cook J Teti G 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2002,169(3):1401-1409
TNF-alpha is a mediator of lethality in experimental infections by group B streptococcus (GBS), an important human pathogen. Little is known of signal transduction pathways involved in GBS-induced TNF-alpha production. Here we investigate the role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and NF-kappa B in TNF-alpha production by human monocytes stimulated with GBS or LPS, used as a positive control. Western blot analysis of cell lysates indicates that extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2), p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase MAPKs, as well as I kappa B alpha, became phosphorylated, and hence activated, in both LPS- and GBS-stimulated monocytes. The kinetics of these phosphorylation events, as well as those of TNF-alpha production, were delayed by 30-60 min in GBS-stimulated, relative to LPS-stimulated, monocytes. Selective inhibitors of ERK 1/2 (PD98059 or U0126), p38 (SB203580), or NF-kappa B (caffeic acid phenetyl ester (CAPE)) could all significantly reduce TNF-alpha production, although none of the inhibitors used alone was able to completely prevent TNF-alpha release. However, this was completely blocked by combinations of the inhibitors, including PD98059-SB203580, PD98059-CAPE, or SB203580-CAPE combinations, in both LPS- and GBS-stimulated monocytes. In conclusion, our data indicate that the simultaneous activation of multiple pathways, including NF-kappa B, ERK 1/2, and p38 MAPKs, is required to induce maximal TNF-alpha production. Accordingly, in septic shock caused by either GBS or Gram-negative bacteria, complete inhibition of TNF-alpha release may require treatment with drugs or drug combinations capable of inhibiting multiple activation pathways. 相似文献

We have synthesized a series of C7-piperidine- and 4-aminopiperidine-substituted naphthyridinones, quinolinones, and dihydroquinazolinones that are highly potent inhibitors of both p38MAP kinase activity and TNF-alpha release. The 4-aminopentamethylpiperidine naphthyridinone 5, which was designed to block metabolism at major 'hot spots', combined excellent inhibitory potency with good oral bioavailability in the rat. 相似文献

Leptin enhances TNF-alpha production via p38 and JNK MAPK in LPS-stimulated Kupffer cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Leptin is now recognized as a proinflammatory cytokine and thought to be a progressive factor for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Here we showed the effects of leptin on the production of TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor-alpha) by Kupffer cells (KCs) with signal transduction. Leptin enhanced TNF-alpha production accompanied by a dose-dependent increase of MAPK activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated KCs. SB203580 and JNK inhibitor I, specific inhibitors of P38 and JNK, inhibited TNF-alpha production in KCs but PD98059, an inhibitor of the ERK pathway, did not affect TNF-alpha production by KCs. Recombinant constitutively active adenovirus (Ad)-MKK6 and-MKK7 increased TNF-alpha production in KCs with activation of P38 and JNK without any change by Ad-MEK1 delivery. On the other hand, KCs isolated from the Zucker rat (fa/fa), a leptin receptor-deficient rat, showed reduced production of TNF-alpha on stimulation with LPS. The delivery of Ad-MKK6 and-MKK7, but not Ad-MEK1, increased TNF-alpha production in KCs of Zucker rats with activation of P38 and JNK. Addition of leptin to normal rats increased LPS-induced hepatic TNF-alpha production in vivo and leptin receptor-deficient Zucker rats showed reduced hepatic TNF-alpha production on addition of LPS in vivo. These findings indicate that P38 and JNK pathways are involved in the signal transduction of leptin enhancement of LPS-induced TNF-alpha production. 相似文献

We examined whether ANG II and TNF-alpha cooperatively induce vascular inflammation using the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 as a marker of vascular inflammation. ANG II and TNF-alpha stimulated MCP-1 expression in a synergistic manner in vascular smooth muscle cells. ANG II-induced MCP-1 expression was potently inhibited to a nonstimulated basal level by blockade of the p38-dependent pathway but only partially inhibited by blockade of the NF-kappaB-dependent pathway. In contrast, TNF-alpha-induced MCP-1 expression was potently suppressed by blockade of NF-kappaB activation but only modestly suppressed by blockade of p38 activation. ANG II- and TNF-alpha-induced activation of NF-kappaB- and p38-dependent pathways was partially inhibited by pharmacological inhibitors of ROS production. Furthermore, ANG II- and TNF-alpha-stimulated MCP-1 expression was partially suppressed by ROS inhibitors. We also examined whether endogenous ANG II and TNF-alpha cooperatively promote vascular inflammation in vivo using a wire injury model of the rat femoral artery. Blockade of both ANG II and TNF-alpha further suppressed neointimal formation, macrophage infiltration, and MCP-1 expression in an additive manner compared with blockade of ANG II or TNF-alpha alone. These results suggested that ANG II and TNF-alpha synergistically stimulate MCP-1 expression via the utilization of distinct intracellular signaling pathways (p38- and NFkappaB-dependent pathways) and that these pathways are activated in ROS-dependent and -independent manners. These results also suggest that ANG II and TNF-alpha cooperatively stimulate vascular inflammation in vivo as well as in vitro. 相似文献

A novel series of potent C-6 substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine inhibitors of herpes simplex viruses has been identified. A synthetic methodology was developed involving functionalization of a C-6 trifluoromethyl pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine to allow facile access to a diverse set of analogues from common late stage intermediates. The expansion of the SAR of this series at the 6 position allows for modifications to developability parameters such as clogP, while maintaining potency comparable to acyclovir. 相似文献

A set of triterpenoids with different grades of oxidation in the lupane skeleton were prepared and evaluated as cholinesterase inhibitors. Allylic oxidation with selenium oxide and Jones’s oxidation were employed to obtain mono-, di- and tri-oxolupanes, starting from calenduladiol (1) and lupeol (3). All the derivatives showed a selective inhibition of butyrylcholinesterase over acetylcholinesterase (BChE vs. AChE). A kinetic study proved that compounds 2 and 9, the more potent inhibitors of the series, act as competitive inhibitors. Molecular modeling was used to understand their interaction with BChE, the role of carbonyl at C-16 and the selectivity towards this enzyme over AChE. These results indicate that oxidation at C-16 of the lupane skeleton is a key transformation in order to improve the cholinesterase inhibition of these compounds. 相似文献

A SAR study of a series of 1-phenyl-1,8-naphthyridin-4-one-3-carboxamides is described. Optimization of the series was based on in vitro potency against PDE4, inhibition of the LPS-induced production of TNF-alpha in human whole blood and minimizing affinity for the hERG potassium channel. From these studies, compounds 18 and 20 (MK-0873) were identified as optimized PDE4 inhibitors with good overall in vitro and in vivo profiles and selected as development candidates. 相似文献

A novel series of achiral TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) inhibitors has been discovered. These compounds exhibited activities from 0.35 to 11nM in a porcine TACE assay and inhibited TNF-alpha production in an LPS-stimulated whole blood assay with an IC(50) value of 23nM for the most potent one. They also have excellent selectivities over related metalloproteases including aggrecanases. 相似文献

3-Methylene-substituted androgens as novel aromatization inhibitors. Evidence of a requirement for C-3 oxygen in C-19 hydroxylations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Substitution of a methylene group for the C-3 oxygen in androstenedione, testosterone, and the corresponding 19-hydroxy and 19-oxo derivatives results in a new category of inhibitors of estrogen biosynthesis by human placental microsomes. The inhibition is of the competitive type with the most effective inhibitors being the 17-ketonic compounds, 3-methyleneandrost-4-en-17-one, 19-hydroxy-3-methyleneandrost-4-en-17-one, and 3-methylene-19-oxoandrost-4-en-17-one with apparent Ki values of 4.7, 13, and 24 nM, respectively. The 3-methylene derivatives of androstenedione and 19-hydroxyandrostenedione were effective substrates for the placental microsomal 17 beta-hydroxy-steroid oxidoreductase but were only marginally hydroxylated at the C-19 position to the respective 19-hydroxy and 19-oxo derivatives. The 3-methylene analogs are thus competitive inhibitors of aromatization but are not substrates for this enzyme complex. Time-dependent inhibition of aromatization by 10 beta-difluoromethylestr-4-ene-3,17-dione and 10 beta-(2-propynyl)estr-4-ene,3,17-dione was abolished by substitution of a methylene function for the C-3 oxygen, suggesting that the presence of an oxygen at C-3 is required for an oxidative transformation at C-19, an initial step in aromatization. The essential role of the C-19 hydroxylation in aromatization is supported by the observation that the 3-methylene derivatives of 19-hydroxy- and 19-oxoandrostenedione showed time-dependent inhibition, but the corresponding 19-methyl compound did not. The 3-methylene androgens are potent inhibitors of placental aromatization but are themselves only marginal substrates for the enzyme. Their high affinity for and inertness to the placental aromatase complex makes them valuable probes of the aromatization process. 相似文献
