摘要
The discovery that pyrazole-benzyl urea derivatives bearing a 2-molpholinopyrimidine moiety are novel p38 alpha inhibitors is described. A comparative view of the binding modes of SB-203580 and BIRB-796 by structural alignment of two X-ray co-crystal structures was utilized to identify this novel series. Modification of the benzyl group led to compound 2b, a highly potent p38 alpha inhibitor. In in vivo studies, 2b inhibited the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in lipopolysaccharide-treated mouse in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the results of a 5-day repeated oral dose toxicity study suggest that 2b has low hepatotoxicity. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
