• PubMed Abstract: 
  

A novel class of fused pyrazole-derived inhibitors of p38alpha mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is disclosed. These inhibitors were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the p38alpha enzyme, the secretion of TNFalpha in a LPS-challenged THP1 cell line and TNFalpha-induced production of IL-8 in 50% human whole blood. This series was optimized through a SAR investigation to provide inhibitors with IC(50) values in the low single-digit nanomolar range in whole blood. Further investigation of their pharmacokinetic profiles led to the identification of two potent and orally bioavailable p38 inhibitors 10 m and 10 q. Inhibitor 10 m was found to be efficacious in vivo in the inhibition of TNFalpha production in LPS-stimulated Lewis rats with an ED(50) of 0.1mg/kg while 10 q was found to have an ED(50) of 0.05-0.07 mg/kg.
