Cross Reference to Related Applications This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Serial Number 60/357,029, filed February 14, 2002, and U.S. Provisional Application Serial Number 60/436,915, filed December 30, 2002, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background of the invention Field of the invention The instant invention relates to substituted pyridinones that are useful for treating diseases and conditions caused or exacerbated by unregulated p3 8 MAP kinase activity. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the pyridinone compounds, methods of preparing the pyridone compounds and methods of treatment using the compcunds are also disclosed. Description of the Related Art Numerous cell surface receptors use one or more of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) cascades during signal transduction. MAP kinases are a family of protein-directed serine/threonine kinases that are activated by dual phosphorylation. One subgroup of the MAP kinases is p38 MAP kinase, which is activated by a variety of signals including proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1), as well as bacterial lipopolysaccharides and environmental stress such as osmotic shock and ultraviolet radiation (One, K. and J. Han, Cell Signal. 12: 1, 2000). Within the p38 kinase family, there are four distinct isozymes: p38 alpha, p38 beta, p38 gamma, and p38 delta. The p38 kinase family function downstream of an activating stimulus by phosphorylating and activating transcription factors (e.g. ATF2, CHOP and MEF2C) as well as ases (e.g. MAPKAP-2 and MAPKAP-3) (Trends ir. Cell biclogy 7, 353-351, 1997/Mol Cell Biology 19, 21-30, 1399; EMBO J 20, 466-479, 2001). Upon activation, the p33 kinase cascade leads to the induction of gene expression of several factors involved in inflammation and immunity including TNF, interleukin-6, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and HIV long terminal repeat (Paul et al., Cell Signal. 9: 403-410, 1997). The products of the p38 phosphorylation stimulate the production of inflammatory cytokines and other proteins, including TNF and IL-1, and cyclooxygenase-2, and also possibly modulate the effects of these cytokines on their target cells, and thus stimulate inflammation processes (Lee, J.C. et al, Nature, 372: 376, 1994). P38 MAP kinases have also been shown to promote apoptosis during ischemia in cardiac myocytes, which suggests that p38 MAP kinase inhibitors can be used to treat ischemic heart disease (J. 3iol. Chem. 274, 6272, 1999). They are also required for T-cell HIV-1 replication and may be useful targets for AIDS therapy. P38 pathway inhibitors have been used to increase cancer cell sensitivity to cancer therapy also find use in the treatment of asthma (JPET 293, 281, 2000) . TNF is a cytokine and a potent proinflammatory mediator implicated in inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, asthma, septic shock, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease. Thus inhibitors of p38 MAP kinases (required for TNF production) may be useful for the treatment of inflammatoryconditions resulting from excessive cytokine production such as arthritis. (Boehm, J.C. and J.L. Adams, Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 10: 25, 2000, and references cited therein). TNF has also been implicated in viral infections, such as HIV, influenza virus, and herpes virus including herpes simplex virus cype-i (HSV-1), herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2), cytomecaiovirus (CMV), varicella-roster virus (VZV), Epstein- Barr virus, human herpesvirus-6 (HKV-6), human herpesvirus-7 (HHV-7), human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-6), pseudorabies and rhinctracheitis, among others. Excessive or unregulated TNF production has also been shown to produce elevated levels of IL-1. Inhibition of TNF, therefore, should reduce levels of IL-1 (European Cytokine Netw 6, 225, 1995) and ameliorate disease states caused by unregulated IL-1 synthesis. Such disease states include rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid spondylitis, osteoarthritis, gouty arthritis, sepsis, septic shock, endotoxic shock, gram negative sepsis, toxic shock syndrome, adult respiratory distress syndrome, cerebral malaria, chronic pulmonary inflammatory disease, silicosis, pulmonary sarcosis, bone resorption diseases, reperfusion injury, graft versus host reaction, alallograft rejections, fever and myalgias due to infection, cachexia secondary to infection or malignancy, cachexia secondary to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), AIDS related complex (ARC), keloid formation, scar tissue formation, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and pyresis. IL-1 has also been shown to mediate a. variety of biological activities such as the activation of T-helper cells, induction of fever, stimulation of prostaglandin or collagenase production, neutrophil chemotaxis, and the suppression of plasma iron levels (Rev. Infect. Disease, 6, 51 (1984)). Elevated levels of IL-1 have also been implicated in mediating or exacerbating a number of disease states including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid spondylitis, gouty arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), psoriasis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, anaphylaxis, muscle degeneration, cachexia, Reiter's syndrome, type I and type II diabetes, bone resorption diseases, ischemia reperfusicn injury, arteriosclerosis, brain trauma, multiple sclerosis, sepsis, septic shock, and toxic shock syndrome. Viruses sensitive to TNF inhibition, such as HIV-1, HIV-2, HIV-3, are also affected by IL-1 production. In rheumatoid arthritis, both IL-1 and TNF induce collagenase synthesis and ultimately lead to tissue destruction within arthritic joints (Lywphokine Cytokine Res. (11): 253-256, (1992) and Clin. Exp. Imwunol. 989:244-250, (1992)). IL-6 is another pro-inflammatory cytokine, which is associated with many conditions including inflammation. Consequently, TNF, IL-1 and IL-6 affect a wide variety of cells and tissues and are important inflammatory mediators of a wide variety of disease states and conditions. The inhibition of these cytokines by inhibition or modulation of p38 kinase is of benefit in controlling, reducing and alleviating many of these disease states and conditions. Therefore, the present invention concerns finding small molecule inhibitors or modulators of p38 kinase and the p38 kinase pathway.

A disease state in which, for instance, IL-1 is a major component, and whose production or action, is exacerbated or secreted in response to p38, would therefore be considered a disorder mediated by p38. As TNF-beta has close structural homology with TNF-alpha (also known as cachectin), and since each induces similar biologic responses and binds to the same cellular receptor, the synthesis of both TNF-alpha and TNF-beta are inhibited by the compounds of the present invention and thus are herein referred to collectively as "TNF" unless specifically delineated otherwise. Non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to salts of inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, diphosphoric, hydrobromic, and nitric or salts of organic acids such as formic, citric, malic, maleic, fumaric, tartaric, succinic, acetic, lactic, methanesulfonic, p-toluenesulfonic, 2-hydroxyethylsulfonic, salicylic and stearic. Similarly, pharmaceutically acceptable cations include, but are not limited to sodium, potassium, calcium, aluminum, lithium and ammonium. Those skilled in the art will recognize a wide variety of non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts. The compounds of this invention may contain one or more asymmetric carbon atoms, so that the compounds can exist in different stereoisomeric forms. These compounds can be, for example, racemates, chiral non-racemic or diastereomers. In these situations, the single enantiomers, i.e., optically active forms, can be obtained by asymmetric synthesis or by resolution of the racemates. Resolution of the racemates can be accomplished, for example, by conventional methods such as crystallization in the presence of a resolving agent; chromatography, using, for example a chiral HPLC column; or derivatizing the racemic mixture with a resolving reagent to generate diastereomers, separating the diastereomers via chromatography or selective crystallization, and removing the resolving agent to generate the original compound in er.anticnerically enriched form. Any of the above procedures can be repeated to increase the enantiomeric purity of a compound . The compounds of the invention may exist as atropisomers, i.e., chiral rotational isomers. The invention encompasses the racemic and the resolved atropisomers . The following illustration generically shows a compound (Z) that can exist as atropisomers as well as its two possible atropisomers (A) and (B) . This illustration also shows each of atropisomers (A) and (B) in a Fischer projection. In this illustration, RI, R2, and R4 carry the same definitions as set forth for Formula I, RP' is a substituent within the definition of RS, and Rp is a non-hydrogen substituent within the definition of Rs When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless otherwise specified, it is intended that the compounds include the cis, trans, Z- and E- configurations. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included. The compounds of general Formula I may be administered orally, topically, parenterally, by inhalation or spray or rectally in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. The term parenteral as used herein includes percutaneous, subcutaneous, intravascular (e.g., intravenous), intramuscular, or intrathecal injection or infusion techniques and the like. In addition, there is provided a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a compound of general Formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. One or more compounds of general Formula I may be present in association with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or diluents and/or adjuvants, and if desired other active ingredients. The pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of general Formula I may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsion, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, hard or soft capsule, lozenges, dispensable powders/ suspension, or liquid. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient. Examples of such dosage units are tablets or capsules. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preservative agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients that are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques. In some cases such coatings may be prepared by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monosterate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules, wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil. Formulations for oral use may also be presented as lozenges. Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydropropyl-rnethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example, lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, orn-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin. Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredients in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin, or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents and flavoring agents may be added to provide palatable oral preparations. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an antioxidant such as ascorbic acid. Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents or suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring, and coloring agents, may also be present. Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be i vegetable oil or a mineral oil or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring gums, for example gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean, lecithin, and esters cr oartial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol, anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening and flavoring agents. Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, glucose or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative, and flavoring and coloring agents. The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents that have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parentally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic monoor diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables. The compounds of general Formula I may also be administered in the form of suppositories, e.g., for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient that is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols. Compounds of general Formula I may be administered parenterally in a sterile medium. The drug, depending on the vehicle and concentration used, can either be suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. Advantageously, adjuvants such as local anesthetics, preservatives, and buffering agents can be dissolved in the vehicle. The active ingredient may also be administered by injection (IV, IM, subcutaneous or jet) as a composition wherein, for example, saline, dextrose, or water may be used as a suitable carrier. The pH of the composition may be adjusted, if necessary, with suitable acid, base, or buffer. Suitable bulking, dispersing, wetting or suspending agents, including mannitol and PEG 400, may also be included in the composition. A suitable parenteral composition can also include a compound formulated as a sterile solid substance, including lyophilized powder, in injection vials. Aqueous solution can be added to dissolve the compound prior to injection. For disorders of the eye or other external tissues, e.g., mouth and skin, the formulations are preferably applied as a topical gel, spray, ointment or cream, or as a suppository, containing the active ingredients in a total amount of, for example, 0.075 to 30% w/w, preferably 0.2 to 20% w/w and most preferably 0.4 to 15% w/w. When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredients may be employed with either paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base. If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include, for example at least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol such as propylene glycol, butane-l,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glyceroi, polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. The topical formulation may desirably include a compound, which enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal penetration enhancers include dimethylsulfoxide and related analogs. The compounds of this invention can also be administered by a transdermal device. Preferably topical administration will be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir and porous membrane type or of a solid matrix variety. In either case, the active agent is delivered continuously from the reservoir or microcapsules through a membrane into the active agent permeable adhesive, which is in contact with the skin or mucosa of the recipient. If the active agent is absorbed through the skin, a controlled and predetermined flow of the active agent is administered to the recipient. In the case of microcapsules, the encapsulating agent may also function as the membrane. The transdermal patch may include the compound in a suitable solvent system with an adhesive system, such as an acrylic emulsion, and a polyester patch. The oily phase of the emulsions of this invention may be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier, it may comprise a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or oil or with both a fat and an oil. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier, which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizer(s) make-up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and fat make up the socalled emulsifying ointment base, which forms the oily, lispersed phase of the cream formulations. Emulsifiers and 5tnulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the present invention include Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, and sodium lauryl sulfate, among others. The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties, since the solubility of the active compound in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceutical emulsion formulations is very low. Thus, the cream should preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2- ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters may be used. These may be used alone or in combination depending on the properties required. Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white soft paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils can be used. Formulations suitable for topical administration to the eye also include eye drops wherein the active ingredients are dissolved or suspended in suitable carrier, especially an aqueous solvent for the active ingredients. The antiinflammatory active ingredients are preferably present in such formulations in a concentration of 0.5 to 20%, advantageously 0.5 to 10% and particularly about 1.5% w/w. For therapeutic purposes, the active compounds of this combination invention are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants appropriate to the indicated route of administration. If administered per os, the compounds may be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, gelatin, acacia gum, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and then tableted or encapsulated for convenient administration. Such capsules or tablets may contain a controlled-release formulation as may be provided in a dispersion of active compound in hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose. Formulations for parenteral administration may be in the form of aqueous or non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders or granules having one or more of the carriers or diluents mentioned for use in the formulations for oral administration. The compounds may be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art. The amount of therapeutically active compounds that are administered and the dosage regimen for treating a disease condition with the compounds and/or compositions of this invention depends on a variety of factors, including the age, weight, sex and medical condition of the subject, the severity of the inflammation or inflammation related disorder, the route and frequency of administration, and the particular compound employed, and thus may vary widely. The pharmaceutical compositions may contain active ingredients in the range of about 0.1 to 1000 mg, preferably in the range of about 7.0 to 350 mg. A daily dose of about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg body weight, preferably between about 0.1 and .about 50 mg/kg body weight and most preferably between about 0.5 to 30 mg/kg body weight, may be appropriate. The daily dose can be administered in one to four doses per day.

The Bam HI digested fragment was ligated into BamHI digested pGEX 2T plasmid DNA (PharmaciaBiotech) using T-4 DNA ligase (New England Biolabs) as described by T. Maniatis, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed. (1989) . The ligation reaction was transformed into chemically competent E. coli DH10B cells purchased from Life-Technologies following the manufacturer's instructions. Plasmid DNA was isolated from the resulting bacterial colonies using a Promega Wizard™ miniprep kit. Plasmids containing the appropriate Bam HI fragment were sequenced in a DNA Thermal Cycler (Perkin Elmer) with Prism™ (Applied Biosysterns Inc.). cDNA clones were identified that coded for both human p38a isoforms (Lee et al. Nature 739) . One of the clones that contained the cDNA for p38a-2 (CSB-2) inserted in the cloning site of PGEX 2T, 3' of the GST coding region was designated pMON 35802. The sequence obtained for this clone is an exact match of the cDNA clone reported by Lee et al. This expression plasmid allows for the production of a GST-p38a fusion protein. Expression of human p38a GST/p38a fusion protein was expressed from the plasmid pMON 35802 in E. coli, stain DH10B (Life Technologies, Gibco- BRL) . Overnight cultures were grown in Luria Broth (LB) containing 100 mg/ral ampicillin. The next day, 500 ml of fresh LB was inoculated with 10 ml of overnight culture, and grown in a 2 liter flask at 37° C. with constant shaking until the culture reached an absorbance of 0.8 at 600 nm. Expression of the fusion protein was induced by addition of isopropyl b- D-thiogalactosidase (IPTG) to a final concentration of mM. The cultures were shaken for three hours at room temperature, and the cells were harvested by centrifugation. The cell pellets were stored frozen until protein purification. Purification of P38 Kinase-alpha All chemicals were from Sigma Chemical Co. unless noted. Twenty grams of E. coli cell pellet collected from five 1 L shake flask fermentations was resuspended in a volume of (140 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KC1, 10 mM Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4, 1.8 mM KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4, pH 7.3) up to 200 ml. The cell suspension was adjusted to 5 mM DTT with 2 M DTT and then split equally into five 50 ml Falcon conical tubes. The cells were sonnicated (Ultrasonics model W375) with a 1 cm probe for 3.times. 1 minutes (pulsed) on ice. Lysed cell material was removed by centrifugation (12,000 x g, 15 minutes) and the clarified supernatant applied to glutathione-sepharose resin (Pharmacia) . Glutathione-Sepharose Affinity Chromatography Twelve ml of a 50% glutathione .sepharose-PBS suspension was added to 200 ml clarified supernatant and incubated batchwise for 30 minutes at room temperature. The resin was collected by centrifugation (€00.times.g, 5 min) and washed with 2.times.150 ml PBS/1% Triton X-100, followed by 4.times.40 ml PBS. To cleave the p38 kinase from the GST-p38 fusion protein, the glutathione-sepharose resin was resuspended in 6 ml PBS containing 250 units thrombin protease (Pharmacia, specific activity >7500 units/mg) and mixed gently for 4 hours at room temperature. The glutathione-sepharose resin was removed by centrifugation (600 .times .g, 5 min) and washed 2. times. 6 ml with PBS. The PBS wash fractions and digest supernatant containing p38 kinase protein were pooled and adjusted to 0.3 mM PMSF. Mono Q Anion Exchange Chromatography The thrombin-cleaved p38 kinase was further purified by FPLC-anion exchange chromatography. Thrombin-cleaved sample was diluted 2-fold with Buffer A (25 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 25 mM beta-glycerophosphate, 2 mM DTT, 5% glycerol) and injected onto a Mono Q HR 10/10 (Pharmacia) anion exchange column equilibrated with Buffer A. The column was eluted with a 160 ml 0.1 M-0.6 M NaCl/Buffer A gradient (2 ml/minute flowrate) . The p38 kinase peak eluting at 200 mM NaCl was collected and concentrated to 3-4 ml with a Filtron 10 concentrator (Filtron Corp.). Sephacryl S100 Gel Filtration Chromatography The concentrated Mono Q- p38 kinase purified sample was purified by gel filtration chromatography (Pharmacia HiPrep 26/60 Sephacryl S100 column equilibrated with Buffer B (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 2 mM DTT, 5% glycerol)). Protein was eluted from the column with Buffer B at a 0.5 ml/minute flowrate and protein was detected by absorbance at 280 nm. Fractions containing p38 kinase (detected by SDSpolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) were pooled and frozen at -80° C. Typical purified protein yields from 5 L E. coli shake flasks fermentations were 35 mg p38 kinase. In Vitro Assay The ability of compounds to inhibit human p38 kinase alpha was evaluated using two in vitro assay methods. In the first method, activated human p38 kinase alpha phosphorylates a biotinylated substrate, PHAS-I (phosphorylated heat and acid stable protein-insulin inducible), in the presence of gamma 32P-ATP (32P-ATP) . PHAS-I was biotinylated prior to the assay and provides a means of capturing the substrate, which is phosphorylated during the assay. p38 Kinase was activated by MKK6. Compounds were tested in 10 fold serial dilutions over the range of 100 /xM to 0.001 jxM using 1% DMSO. Each concentration of inhibitor was tested in triplicate. All reactions were carried out in 96 well polypropylene plates. Each reaction well contained 25 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM magnesium acetate and 50 /zM unlabeled ATP. Activation of was required to achieve sufficient signal in the assay. Biotinylated PHAS-I was used at 1-2 jig per 50 pi reaction volume, with a final concentration of 1.5 ptM. Activated human p38 kinase alpha was used at 1 /zg per 50 /zl reaction volume representing a final concentration of 0.3 /zM. Gamma 32P-ATP was used to follow the phosphorylation of PHAS-I. 32P-ATP has a specific activity of 3000 Ci/mmol and was used at 1.2 /zCi per 50 /il reaction volume. The reaction proceeded either for one hour or overnight at 30° C. Following incubation, 20 ^1 of reaction mixture was transferred to a high capacity streptavidin coated filter plate (SAM-streptavidin-matrix, Promega) prewetted with phosphate buffered saline. The transferred reaction mix was allowed to contact the streptavidin membrane of the Promega plate for 1-2 minutes. Following capture of biotinylated PHASI with 32P incorporated, each well was washed to remove unincorporated 32P-ATP three times with 2M NaCl, three washes of 2M NaCl with 1% phosphoric, three washes of distilled water and finally a single wash of 95% ethanol. Filter plates were air-dried and 20 /zl of scintillant was added. The plates were sealed and counted. A second assay format was also employed that is based on p38 kinase alpha induced phosphorylation of EGFRP (epidermal growth factor receptor peptide, a 21 mer) in the presence 33PATP. Compounds were tested in 10 fold serial dilutions over the range of 100 tiM to 0.001 /zM in 1% DMSO. Each concentration of inhibitor was tested in triplicate. Compounds were evaluated in 50 iil reaction volumes in the presence of 25 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 10 mM magnesium acetate, 4% glycerol, 0.4% bovine serum albumin, 0.4mM DTT, 50 /zM unlabeled ATP, 25 /zg EGFRP (200 iM) , and 0.05 tiCi 33P-ATP. Reactions were initiated by addition of 0.09 izg of activated, purified human GST-p38 kinase alpha. Activation was carried out using GST-MKK6 (5:l,p38:MKK6) for one hour at 30° C. in the presence of 50 /zM ATP. Following incubation for 60 minutes at room temperature, the reaction was stopped by addition of 150 /zl of AG 1.times.8 resin in 900 mM sodium formate buffer, pH 3.0 (1 volume resin to 2 volumes buffer) . The mixture was mixed three times with pipetting and the resin was allowed to settle. A total of 50 /zl of clarified solution head volume was transferred from the reaction wells to Microlite-2 plates. 150 ill of Microscint 40 was then added to each well of the Microlite plate, and the plate was sealed, mixed, and counted.

TNF Cell Assays Method of Isolation of Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells: Human whole blood was collected in Vacutainer tubes containing EDTA as an anticoagulant. A blood sample (7 ml) was carefully layered over 5 ml PMN Cell Isolation Medium (Robbins Scientific) in a 15 ml round bottom centrituge sample was centrifuged at 450-500.times.g for 30-35 minutes in a swing out rotor at room temperature. After centrifugation, the top band of cells were removed and washed 3 times with PBS w/o calcium or magnesium. The cells were centrifuged at 400 times for 10 minutes at room temperature. The cells were resuspended in Macrophage Serum Free Medium (Gibco BRL) at a concentration of 2 million cells/mi. LPS Stimulation of Human PBMs PBM cells (0.1 ml, 2 million/ ml) were co-incubated with 0.1 ml compound (10-0.41 /iM, final concentration) for 1 hour in flat bottom 96 well microtiter plates. Compounds were dissolved in DMSO initially and diluted in TCM for a final concentration of 0.1% DMSO. LPS (Calbiochem, 20 ng/ml, final concentration) was then added at a volume of 0.010 ml. Cultures were incubated overnight at 37° C. Supernatants were then removed and tested by ELISA for TNF-a and ILl-b. Viability was analyzed using MTS. After 0.1 ml supernatant was collected, 0.020 ml MTS was added to remaining 0.1 ml cells. The cells were incubated at 37° C. for 2-4 hours, then the O.D. was measured at 490-650 nM. Maintenance and Differentiation of the U937 Human Histiocytic Lymphoma Cell Line U937 cells (ATCC) were propagated in RPMI 1640 containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 lU/ml penicillin, 100 /xg/ml streptomycin, and 2 mM glutamine (Gibco). Fifty million cells in 100 ml media were induced to terminal monocytic differentiation by 24 hour incubation with 20 ng/ml phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (Sigma). The cells were washed by centrifugation (200.times.g for 5 min) and resuspended in 100 ml fresh medium. After 24-48 hours, the cells were harvested, centrifuged, and resuspended in culture medium at 2 million cells/ml. LPS Stimulation of TNF production by U937 Cells U937 cells (0.1 ml, 2 million/ml) were incubated with 0.1 ml compound (0.004-50 /iM, final concentration) for 1 hour in 96 well microtiter plates. Compounds were prepared as 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO and diluted in culture medium to yield a final DMSO concentration of 0.1% in the cell assay. LPS (E coli, 100 ng/ml final concentration) was then added at a volume of 0.02 ml. After 4 hour incubation at 37° C., the amount of TNF-.alpha, released in the culture medium was guantitated by ELISA. Inhibitory potency is expressed as IC50 (MM) . Rat Assay The efficacy of the novel compounds in blocking the production of TNF also was evaluated using a model based on rats challenged with LPS. Male Harlen Lewis rats [Sprague Dawley Co.] were used in this model. Each rat weighed approximately 300 g and was fasted overnight prior to testing. Compound administration was typically by oral gavage (although intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and intravenous administration were also used in a few instances) 1 to 24 hours prior to the LPS challenge. Rats were administered 30 ^tg/kg LPS [salmonella typhosa, Sigma Co.] intravenously via the tail vein. Blood was collected via heart puncture 1 hour after the LPS challenge. Serum samples were stored at -20° C. until quantitative analysis of TNF-.alpha, by Enzyme Linked-Immuno- Sorbent Assay ("ELISA") [Biosource]. Additional details of the assay are set forth in Perretti, M., et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. (1993), 110, 868-874, which is incorporated by reference in this application. Mouse Assay Mouse Model of LPS-Induced TNF Alpha Production TNF alpha was induced in 10-12 week old BALB/c female mice by tail vein injection with 100 ng lipopolysaccharide (from S. Typhosa) in 0.2 ml saline. One hour later mice were bled from the retroorbital sinus and TNF concentrations in serum from clotted blood were quantified by ELISA. Typically, peak levels of serum TNF ranged from 2-6 ng/ml one hour after LPS injection. The compounds tested were administered to fasted mice by oral gavage as a suspension in 0.2 ml of 0.5% methylcellulose and 0.025% Tween 20 in water at 1 hour or 6 hours prior to LPS injection. The 1 hour protocol allowed evaluation of compound potency at Cmax plasma levels whereas the 6 hour protocol allowed estimation of compound duration of action. Efficacy was determined at each time point as percent inhibition of serum TNF levels relative to LPS injected mice that received vehicle only. Induction and Assessment of Collagen-Induced Arthritis in Mice Arthritis was induced in mice according to the procedure set forth in J. M. Stuart, Collagen Autoimmune Arthritis, Annual Rev. Immunol. 2:199 (1984), which is incorporated herein by reference. Specifically, arthritis was induced in 8- 12 week old DBA/1 male mice by injection of 50 fj.g of chick type II collagen (CII) (provided by Dr. Marie Griffiths, Univ. of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah) in complete Freund's adjuvant (Sigma) on day 0 at the base of the tail. Injection volume was 100 /il. Animals were boosted on day 21 with 50 /ig of CII in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (100 /xl volume). Animals were evaluated several times each week for signs of arthritis. Any animal with paw redness or swelling was counted as arthritic. Scoring of arthritic paws was conducted in accordance with the procedure set forth in Wooley et al., Genetic Control of Type II Collagen Induced Arthritis in Mice: Factors Influencing Disease Suspectibility and Evidence for Multiple MHC Associated Gene Control., Trans. Proc., 15:180 (1983). Scoring of severity was carried out using a score of 1-3 for each paw (maximal score of 12/mouse) . Animals displaying any redness or swelling of digits or the paw were scored as 1. Gross swelling of the whole paw or deformity was scored as 2. Ankylosis of joints was scored as 3. Animals were evaluated for 8 weeks. 8-10 animals per group were used.

Description of the Related Art
Numerous cell surface receptors use one or more of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) cascades during signal transduction. MAP kinases are a family of protein-directed serine/threonine kinases that are activated by dual phosphorylation. One subgroup of the MAP kinases is p38 MAP kinase, which is activated by a variety of signals including proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1), as well as bacterial lipopolysaccharides and environmental stress such as osmotic shock and ultraviolet radiation (One, K. and J. Han, Cell Signal. 12: 1, 2000). Within the p38 kinase family, there are four distinct isozymes: p38 alpha, p38 beta, p38 gamma, and p38 delta. The p38 kinase family function downstream of an activating stimulus by phosphorylating and activating transcription factors (e.g. ATF2, CHOP and MEF2C) as well as
ases (e.g. MAPKAP-2 and MAPKAP-3) (Trends ir. Cell
biclogy 7, 353-351, 1997/Mol Cell Biology 19, 21-30, 1399;
EMBO J 20, 466-479, 2001). Upon activation, the p33 kinase
cascade leads to the induction of gene expression of several
factors involved in inflammation and immunity including TNF,
interleukin-6, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating
factor (GM-CSF), and HIV long terminal repeat (Paul et al.,
Cell Signal. 9: 403-410, 1997). The products of the p38
phosphorylation stimulate the production of inflammatory
cytokines and other proteins, including TNF and IL-1, and
cyclooxygenase-2, and also possibly modulate the effects of
these cytokines on their target cells, and thus stimulate
inflammation processes (Lee, J.C. et al, Nature, 372: 376,
1994).
P38 MAP kinases have also been shown to promote apoptosis
during ischemia in cardiac myocytes, which suggests that p38
MAP kinase inhibitors can be used to treat ischemic heart
disease (J. 3iol. Chem. 274, 6272, 1999). They are also
required for T-cell HIV-1 replication and may be useful
targets for AIDS therapy. P38 pathway inhibitors have been
used to increase cancer cell sensitivity to cancer therapy
also find use in the treatment of asthma (JPET 293, 281,
2000) .
TNF is a cytokine and a potent proinflammatory mediator
implicated in inflammatory conditions such as arthritis,
asthma, septic shock, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus,
multiple sclerosis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Thus inhibitors of p38 MAP kinases (required for TNF
production) may be useful for the treatment of inflammatoryconditions
resulting from excessive cytokine production such
as arthritis. (Boehm, J.C. and J.L. Adams, Exp. Opin. Ther.
Patents 10: 25, 2000, and references cited therein). TNF has
also been implicated in viral infections, such as HIV,
influenza virus, and herpes virus including herpes simplex
virus cype-i (HSV-1), herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2),
cytomecaiovirus (CMV), varicella-roster virus (VZV), Epstein-
Barr virus, human herpesvirus-6 (HKV-6), human herpesvirus-7
(HHV-7), human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-6), pseudorabies and
rhinctracheitis, among others.
Excessive or unregulated TNF production has also been
shown to produce elevated levels of IL-1. Inhibition of TNF,
therefore, should reduce levels of IL-1 (European Cytokine
Netw 6, 225, 1995) and ameliorate disease states caused by
unregulated IL-1 synthesis. Such disease states include
rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid spondylitis, osteoarthritis,
gouty arthritis, sepsis, septic shock, endotoxic shock, gram
negative sepsis, toxic shock syndrome, adult respiratory
distress syndrome, cerebral malaria, chronic pulmonary
inflammatory disease, silicosis, pulmonary sarcosis, bone
resorption diseases, reperfusion injury, graft versus host
reaction, alallograft rejections, fever and myalgias due to
infection, cachexia secondary to infection or malignancy,
cachexia secondary to acquired immune deficiency syndrome
(AIDS), AIDS related complex (ARC), keloid formation, scar
tissue formation, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and
pyresis.
IL-1 has also been shown to mediate a. variety of
biological activities such as the activation of T-helper
cells, induction of fever, stimulation of prostaglandin or
collagenase production, neutrophil chemotaxis, and the
suppression of plasma iron levels (Rev. Infect. Disease, 6, 51
(1984)). Elevated levels of IL-1 have also been implicated in
mediating or exacerbating a number of disease states including
rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid spondylitis,
gouty arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, adult respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS), psoriasis, Crohn's disease,
ulcerative colitis, anaphylaxis, muscle degeneration,
cachexia, Reiter's syndrome, type I and type II diabetes, bone
resorption diseases, ischemia reperfusicn injury,
arteriosclerosis, brain trauma, multiple sclerosis, sepsis,
septic shock, and toxic shock syndrome. Viruses sensitive to
TNF inhibition, such as HIV-1, HIV-2, HIV-3, are also affected
by IL-1 production. In rheumatoid arthritis, both IL-1 and
TNF induce collagenase synthesis and ultimately lead to tissue
destruction within arthritic joints (Lywphokine Cytokine Res.
(11): 253-256, (1992) and Clin. Exp. Imwunol. 989:244-250,
(1992)).
IL-6 is another pro-inflammatory cytokine, which is
associated with many conditions including inflammation.
Consequently, TNF, IL-1 and IL-6 affect a wide variety of
cells and tissues and are important inflammatory mediators of
a wide variety of disease states and conditions. The
inhibition of these cytokines by inhibition or modulation of
p38 kinase is of benefit in controlling, reducing and
alleviating many of these disease states and conditions.
Therefore, the present invention concerns finding small
molecule inhibitors or modulators of p38 kinase and the p38
kinase pathway.

As used herein, the term "p38 mediated disorder" refers
to any and all disorders and disease states in which p38 plays
a role, either by control of p38 itself, or by p38 causing
another factor to be released, such as but not limited to IL-
1, IL-6 or IL-8. A disease state in which, for instance, IL-1
is a major component, and whose production or action, is
exacerbated or secreted in response to p38, would therefore be
considered a disorder mediated by p38.
As TNF-beta has close structural homology with TNF-alpha
(also known as cachectin), and since each induces similar
biologic responses and binds to the same cellular receptor,
the synthesis of both TNF-alpha and TNF-beta are inhibited by
the compounds of the present invention and thus are herein
referred to collectively as "TNF" unless specifically
delineated otherwise.
Non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but
are not limited to salts of inorganic acids such as
hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, diphosphoric, hydrobromic,
and nitric or salts of organic acids such as formic, citric,
malic, maleic, fumaric, tartaric, succinic, acetic, lactic,
methanesulfonic, p-toluenesulfonic, 2-hydroxyethylsulfonic,
salicylic and stearic. Similarly, pharmaceutically acceptable
cations include, but are not limited to sodium, potassium,
calcium, aluminum, lithium and ammonium. Those skilled in the
art will recognize a wide variety of non-toxic
pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts.
The compounds of this invention may contain one or more
asymmetric carbon atoms, so that the compounds can exist in
different stereoisomeric forms. These compounds can be, for
example, racemates, chiral non-racemic or diastereomers. In
these situations, the single enantiomers, i.e., optically
active forms, can be obtained by asymmetric synthesis or by
resolution of the racemates. Resolution of the racemates can
be accomplished, for example, by conventional methods such as
crystallization in the presence of a resolving agent;
chromatography, using, for example a chiral HPLC column; or
derivatizing the racemic mixture with a resolving reagent to
generate diastereomers, separating the diastereomers via
chromatography or selective crystallization, and removing the
resolving agent to generate the original compound in
er.anticnerically enriched form. Any of the above procedures
can be repeated to increase the enantiomeric purity of a
compound .
The compounds of the invention may exist as atropisomers,
i.e., chiral rotational isomers. The invention encompasses
the racemic and the resolved atropisomers . The following
illustration generically shows a compound (Z) that can exist
as atropisomers as well as its two possible atropisomers (A)
and (B) . This illustration also shows each of atropisomers
(A) and (B) in a Fischer projection. In this illustration, RI,
R2, and R4 carry the same definitions as set forth for Formula
I, RP' is a substituent within the definition of RS, and Rp is a
non-hydrogen substituent within the definition of Rs
When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double
bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless
otherwise specified, it is intended that the compounds include
the cis, trans, Z- and E- configurations. Likewise, all
tautomeric forms are also intended to be included.
The compounds of general Formula I may be administered
orally, topically, parenterally, by inhalation or spray or
rectally in dosage unit formulations containing conventional
non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and
vehicles. The term parenteral as used herein includes
percutaneous, subcutaneous, intravascular (e.g., intravenous),
intramuscular, or intrathecal injection or infusion techniques
and the like. In addition, there is provided a pharmaceutical
formulation comprising a compound of general Formula I and a
pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. One or more compounds of
general Formula I may be present in association with one or
more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or
diluents and/or adjuvants, and if desired other active
ingredients. The pharmaceutical compositions containing
compounds of general Formula I may be in a form suitable for
oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous
or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules,
emulsion, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs.
For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition
may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, hard or soft
capsule, lozenges, dispensable powders/ suspension, or liquid.
The pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form
of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of the active
ingredient. Examples of such dosage units are tablets or
capsules.
Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared
according to any method known to the art for the manufacture
of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may
contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting
of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and
preservative agents in order to provide pharmaceutically
elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the
active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically
acceptable excipients that are suitable for the manufacture of
tablets. These excipients may be for example, inert diluents,
such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium
phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating
agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding
agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating
agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc.
The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known
techniques. In some cases such coatings may be prepared by
known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the
gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action
over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such
as glyceryl monosterate or glyceryl distearate may be
employed.
Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard
gelatin capsules, wherein the active ingredient is mixed with
an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate,
calcium phosphate, or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules
wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil
medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.
Formulations for oral use may also be presented as
lozenges.
Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in
admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of
aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents,
for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose,
hydropropyl-rnethylcellulose, sodium alginate,
polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia;
dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring
phosphatide, for example, lecithin, or condensation products
of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example
polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene
oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example
heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of
ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids
and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or
condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters
derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example
polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may
also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, orn-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one
or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents,
such as sucrose or saccharin.
Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the
active ingredients in a vegetable oil, for example arachis
oil, olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil, or in a mineral
oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain
a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin, or
cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents and flavoring agents may be
added to provide palatable oral preparations. These
compositions may be preserved by the addition of an antioxidant
such as ascorbic acid.
Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation
of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the
active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting
agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives.
Suitable dispersing or wetting agents or suspending agents are
exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional
excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring, and coloring
agents, may also be present.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be
the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be
i vegetable oil or a mineral oil or mixtures of these.
Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring gums,
for example gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring
phosphatides, for example soy bean, lecithin, and esters cr
oartial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol,
anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation
products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for
example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions
may also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.
Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening
agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol,
glucose or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a
demulcent, a preservative, and flavoring and coloring agents.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a
sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension. This
suspension may be formulated according to the known art using
those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending
agents that have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable
preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or
suspension in a non-toxic parentally acceptable diluent or
solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among
the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are
water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride
solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally
employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose
any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic monoor
diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid
find use in the preparation of injectables.
The compounds of general Formula I may also be
administered in the form of suppositories, e.g., for rectal
administration of the drug. These compositions can be
prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating
excipient that is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at
the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum
to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter and
polyethylene glycols.
Compounds of general Formula I may be administered
parenterally in a sterile medium. The drug, depending on the
vehicle and concentration used, can either be suspended or
dissolved in the vehicle. Advantageously, adjuvants such as
local anesthetics, preservatives, and buffering agents can be
dissolved in the vehicle.
The active ingredient may also be administered by
injection (IV, IM, subcutaneous or jet) as a composition
wherein, for example, saline, dextrose, or water may be used
as a suitable carrier. The pH of the composition may be
adjusted, if necessary, with suitable acid, base, or buffer.
Suitable bulking, dispersing, wetting or suspending agents,
including mannitol and PEG 400, may also be included in the
composition. A suitable parenteral composition can also
include a compound formulated as a sterile solid substance,
including lyophilized powder, in injection vials. Aqueous
solution can be added to dissolve the compound prior to
injection.
For disorders of the eye or other external tissues, e.g.,
mouth and skin, the formulations are preferably applied as a
topical gel, spray, ointment or cream, or as a suppository,
containing the active ingredients in a total amount of, for
example, 0.075 to 30% w/w, preferably 0.2 to 20% w/w and most
preferably 0.4 to 15% w/w. When formulated in an ointment, the
active ingredients may be employed with either paraffinic or a
water-miscible ointment base.
Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated
in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base. If desired, the
aqueous phase of the cream base may include, for example at
least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol such as propylene
glycol, butane-l,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glyceroi,
polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. The topical
formulation may desirably include a compound, which enhances
absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the
skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal
penetration enhancers include dimethylsulfoxide and related
analogs. The compounds of this invention can also be
administered by a transdermal device. Preferably topical
administration will be accomplished using a patch either of
the reservoir and porous membrane type or of a solid matrix
variety. In either case, the active agent is delivered
continuously from the reservoir or microcapsules through a
membrane into the active agent permeable adhesive, which is in
contact with the skin or mucosa of the recipient. If the
active agent is absorbed through the skin, a controlled and
predetermined flow of the active agent is administered to the
recipient. In the case of microcapsules, the encapsulating
agent may also function as the membrane. The transdermal patch
may include the compound in a suitable solvent system with an
adhesive system, such as an acrylic emulsion, and a polyester
patch. The oily phase of the emulsions of this invention may
be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner.
While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier, it may
comprise a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or
oil or with both a fat and an oil. Preferably, a hydrophilic
emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier,
which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferred to include
both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or
without stabilizer(s) make-up the so-called emulsifying wax,
and the wax together with the oil and fat make up the socalled
emulsifying ointment base, which forms the oily,
lispersed phase of the cream formulations. Emulsifiers and
5tnulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of
the present invention include Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl
alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, and sodium
lauryl sulfate, among others. The choice of suitable oils or
fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired
cosmetic properties, since the solubility of the active
compound in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceutical
emulsion formulations is very low. Thus, the cream should
preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable product
with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other
containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl
esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene
glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate,
decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2-
ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters may
be used. These may be used alone or in combination depending
on the properties required. Alternatively, high melting point
lipids such as white soft paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or
other mineral oils can be used.
Formulations suitable for topical administration to the
eye also include eye drops wherein the active ingredients are
dissolved or suspended in suitable carrier, especially an
aqueous solvent for the active ingredients. The antiinflammatory
active ingredients are preferably present in such
formulations in a concentration of 0.5 to 20%, advantageously
0.5 to 10% and particularly about 1.5% w/w. For therapeutic
purposes, the active compounds of this combination invention
are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants appropriate
to the indicated route of administration. If administered per
os, the compounds may be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch
powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl
esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium
oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulfuric
acids, gelatin, acacia gum, sodium alginate,
polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and then
tableted or encapsulated for convenient administration. Such
capsules or tablets may contain a controlled-release
formulation as may be provided in a dispersion of active
compound in hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose. Formulations for
parenteral administration may be in the form of aqueous or
non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or
suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared
from sterile powders or granules having one or more of the
carriers or diluents mentioned for use in the formulations for
oral administration. The compounds may be dissolved in water,
polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil,
cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium
chloride, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of
administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical
art.
The amount of therapeutically active compounds that are
administered and the dosage regimen for treating a disease
condition with the compounds and/or compositions of this
invention depends on a variety of factors, including the age,
weight, sex and medical condition of the subject, the severity
of the inflammation or inflammation related disorder, the
route and frequency of administration, and the particular
compound employed, and thus may vary widely. The
pharmaceutical compositions may contain active ingredients in
the range of about 0.1 to 1000 mg, preferably in the range of
about 7.0 to 350 mg. A daily dose of about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg
body weight, preferably between about 0.1 and .about 50 mg/kg
body weight and most preferably between about 0.5 to 30 mg/kg
body weight, may be appropriate. The daily dose can be
administered in one to four doses per day. In the case of skin
conditions, it may be preferable to apply a topical
preparation of compounds of this invention to the affected
area two to four times a day.
It will be understood, however, that the specific dose
level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of
factors including the activity of the specific compound
employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet,
time of administration, route of administration, and rate of
excretion, drug combination and the severity of the particular
disease undergoing therapy.
For administration to non-human animals, the composition
may also be added to the animal feed or drinking water. It may
be convenient to formulate the animal feed and drinking water
compositions so that the animal takes in a therapeutically
appropriate quantity of the composition along with its diet.
It may also be convenient to present the composition as a
premix for addition to the feed or drinking water.

4-{[3-bromo-4-[(2,4-difluorobenzyl)oxy]-6-methyl-2-oxopyridin-
1(2H)-yl]- N-(2-hydroxyethyl)benzamide.
Preparation of 4-{[3-bromo-4-[ (2,4-difluorobenzyl)oxy]-6-
methyl-2-oxopyridin-l(2H)-yl]- N-(2-hydroxyethyl)benzamide. To
a reaction vessel (borosilicate culture tube) was added
ihydroxybenzotriazole
in N/W-dimethylformamide (3 mL, 0.11 M)
was added to the reaction vessel followed by approximately
1.13 g of the polymer bound carbodiimide resin (1.8 mmol/g).
Additional N,N-dimethylformamide (2 mL) was then added to the
reaction vessel. The parallel reaction apparatus was then
orbitally shaken (Labline Benchtop Orbital Shaker) at
approximately 200 RPM at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Ethanolamine (0.06 mL, 0.994 mmol) was then added to the
reaction vessel and the reaction apparatus was orbitally
shaken at room temperature overnight. At this time the
reaction waff diluted wi±Jt toefcEahydroturaa (2,0 mL.) and- treated
with approximately 2.0 g of polyamine resin (2.63 mmol/g) and
approximately 2.7 g of methylisocyanate functionalized
polystyrene (1.10 mmol/g) and the orbital shaking was
continued at 200 RPM at room temperature for 3 hours. The
reaction vessel was then opened and the solution phase
products were separated from the insoluble quenched byproducts
by filtration and collection into a vial. After partially
evaporation the insoluble byproducts were rinsed further with
tetrahydrofuran (2 x 10 mL) and combined with the partially
reduced filtrate. The resulting filtrate was concentrated by
blowing N2 over the vial while heating (60 °C) in a reaction
block (KEM-Lab Parallel Reactor). Purification by

Example 520 (0.300 g, 0.624 mmol) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole
(0.042 g, 0.31 mmol). N,N-Dimethylformamide (3 mL) was added
to the reaction vessel followed by approximately 1.06 g of the
polymer bound carbodiimide resin (1.38 mmol/g), Additional
N,N-dimethylformamide (2 mL) was then added to the reaction
vessel. The parallel reaction apparatus was then orbitally
shaken (Labline Benchtop Orbital Shaker) at approximately 200
RPM at room temperature for 15 minutes. N-Methyl amine (2
mL, 4 mmol) was then added to the reaction vessel and the
reaction apparatus was orbitally shaken at room temperature
overnight. At this time the reaction was diluted with
tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) and treated with approximately 2 g of
polyamine resin (2.63 mmol/g) and approximately 2.5 g of
methylisocyanate functionalized polystyrene (1.5 mmol/g) and
the orbital shaking was continued at 200 RPM at room
temperature for 3 hours. The reaction vessel was then opened
and the solution phase product was separated from the
insoluble quenched byproducts by filtration and collection
into a vial. After partially evaporation the insoluble
byproducts were rinsed with tetrahydrofuran (2 x 10 mL). The
filtrate was evaporated by blowing N2 over the vial and the

mL) and the resulting mixture was stirred at rt. After 2 h,
additional NaOH (1 mL) was added to the reaction and then
allowed to stir at rt overnight. The THF was then
concentrated under vacuum. The remaining aqueous layer was
then acidified to pH ~ 4 after which a white precipitate
resulted. Filtration and drying under vacuum gave rise to a
white solid (900 mg) that was used as in the next step.
The titled compound was prepared by stirring the above
acid (480 mg, 1.16 mmol) in CH2C12 at rt. To this mixture was
added sequentiallyEt3N (244 ^L) , HOBt (188 mg, 1.4 mmol), MeNH2
(2.0M-THF, 700 mL, 1.4 mmol), and finally EDC (266 mg, 1.4
mmol). The homogeneous mixture was then allowed to stir at rt
overnight. The reaction was quenched with IN HCl. The layers
were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2C12
(4x). The organics were combined, dried, and concentrated in
vacuo. The crude residue was triturated in CH3CN-Et20
combination and filtered to give a pure white solid (330 mg,

cell line THP.l. First strand CDNA was synthesized from total
RNA as follows: 2 /xg of RNA was annealed to 100 ng of random
hexamer primers in a 10 /xl reaction by heating to 70° C. for 10
minutes followed by 2 minutes on ice. cDNA was then
synthesized by adding 1 M! of RNAsin (Promega, Madison Wis.),
2 Ml of 50 mM dNTP's, 4 jzl of 5X buffer, 2 /il of 100 mM DTT
and 1 Ml (200 U) of Superscript II™ AMV reverse transcriptase.
Random primer, dNTP's and Superscript II™ reagents were all
purchased from Life-Technologies, Gaithersburg, Mass. The
reaction was incubated at 42° C. for 1 hour. Amplification of
p38 cDNA was performed by aliquoting 5 M! of the reverse

Elmer) by repeating 30 cycles of 94° C. for 1 minute, 60° C.
for 1 minute and 68° C. for 2 minutes. After amplification,
excess primers and unincorporated dNTP's were removed from the
amplified fragment with a Wizard™ PCR prep (Promega) and
digested with Bam HI (New England Biolabs) . The Bam HI
digested fragment was ligated into BamHI digested pGEX 2T
plasmid DNA (PharmaciaBiotech) using T-4 DNA ligase (New
England Biolabs) as described by T. Maniatis, Molecular
Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed. (1989) . The ligation
reaction was transformed into chemically competent E. coli
DH10B cells purchased from Life-Technologies following the
manufacturer's instructions. Plasmid DNA was isolated from the
resulting bacterial colonies using a Promega Wizard™ miniprep
kit. Plasmids containing the appropriate Bam HI fragment were
sequenced in a DNA Thermal Cycler (Perkin Elmer) with Prism™
(Applied Biosysterns Inc.). cDNA clones were identified that
coded for both human p38a isoforms (Lee et al. Nature
739) . One of the clones that contained the cDNA for p38a-2
(CSB-2) inserted in the cloning site of PGEX 2T, 3' of the GST
coding region was designated pMON 35802. The sequence obtained
for this clone is an exact match of the cDNA clone reported by
Lee et al. This expression plasmid allows for the production
of a GST-p38a fusion protein.
Expression of human p38a
GST/p38a fusion protein was expressed from the plasmid
pMON 35802 in E. coli, stain DH10B (Life Technologies, Gibco-
BRL) . Overnight cultures were grown in Luria Broth (LB)
containing 100 mg/ral ampicillin. The next day, 500 ml of
fresh LB was inoculated with 10 ml of overnight culture, and
grown in a 2 liter flask at 37° C. with constant shaking until
the culture reached an absorbance of 0.8 at 600 nm. Expression
of the fusion protein was induced by addition of isopropyl b-
D-thiogalactosidase (IPTG) to a final concentration of
mM. The cultures were shaken for three hours at room
temperature, and the cells were harvested by centrifugation.
The cell pellets were stored frozen until protein
purification.
Purification of P38 Kinase-alpha
All chemicals were from Sigma Chemical Co. unless noted.
Twenty grams of E. coli cell pellet collected from five 1 L
shake flask fermentations was resuspended in a volume of
(140 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KC1, 10 mM Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4, 1.8 mM
KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4, pH 7.3) up to 200 ml. The cell suspension
was adjusted to 5 mM DTT with 2 M DTT and then split equally
into five 50 ml Falcon conical tubes. The cells were
sonnicated (Ultrasonics model W375) with a 1 cm probe for
3.times. 1 minutes (pulsed) on ice. Lysed cell material was
removed by centrifugation (12,000 x g, 15 minutes) and the
clarified supernatant applied to glutathione-sepharose resin
(Pharmacia) .
Glutathione-Sepharose Affinity Chromatography
Twelve ml of a 50% glutathione .sepharose-PBS suspension
was added to 200 ml clarified supernatant and incubated
batchwise for 30 minutes at room temperature. The resin was
collected by centrifugation (€00.times.g, 5 min) and washed
with 2.times.150 ml PBS/1% Triton X-100, followed by
4.times.40 ml PBS. To cleave the p38 kinase from the GST-p38
fusion protein, the glutathione-sepharose resin was
resuspended in 6 ml PBS containing 250 units thrombin protease
(Pharmacia, specific activity >7500 units/mg) and mixed gently
for 4 hours at room temperature. The glutathione-sepharose
resin was removed by centrifugation (600 .times .g, 5 min) and
washed 2. times. 6 ml with PBS. The PBS wash fractions and
digest supernatant containing p38 kinase protein were pooled
and adjusted to 0.3 mM PMSF.
Mono Q Anion Exchange Chromatography
The thrombin-cleaved p38 kinase was further purified by
FPLC-anion exchange chromatography. Thrombin-cleaved sample
was diluted 2-fold with Buffer A (25 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 25 mM
beta-glycerophosphate, 2 mM DTT, 5% glycerol) and injected
onto a Mono Q HR 10/10 (Pharmacia) anion exchange column
equilibrated with Buffer A. The column was eluted with a 160
ml 0.1 M-0.6 M NaCl/Buffer A gradient (2 ml/minute flowrate) .
The p38 kinase peak eluting at 200 mM NaCl was collected and
concentrated to 3-4 ml with a Filtron 10 concentrator (Filtron
Corp.).
Sephacryl S100 Gel Filtration Chromatography
The concentrated Mono Q- p38 kinase purified sample was
purified by gel filtration chromatography (Pharmacia HiPrep
26/60 Sephacryl S100 column equilibrated with Buffer B (50 mM
HEPES, pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 2 mM DTT, 5% glycerol)). Protein
was eluted from the column with Buffer B at a 0.5 ml/minute
flowrate and protein was detected by absorbance at 280 nm.
Fractions containing p38 kinase (detected by SDSpolyacrylamide
gel electrophoresis) were pooled and frozen at
-80° C. Typical purified protein yields from 5 L E. coli shake
flasks fermentations were 35 mg p38 kinase.
In Vitro Assay
The ability of compounds to inhibit human p38 kinase
alpha was evaluated using two in vitro assay methods. In the
first method, activated human p38 kinase alpha phosphorylates
a biotinylated substrate, PHAS-I (phosphorylated heat and acid
stable protein-insulin inducible), in the presence of gamma
32P-ATP (32P-ATP) . PHAS-I was biotinylated prior to the assay
and provides a means of capturing the substrate, which is
phosphorylated during the assay. p38 Kinase was activated by
MKK6. Compounds were tested in 10 fold serial dilutions over
the range of 100 /xM to 0.001 jxM using 1% DMSO. Each
concentration of inhibitor was tested in triplicate.
All reactions were carried out in 96 well polypropylene
plates. Each reaction well contained 25 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM
magnesium acetate and 50 /zM unlabeled ATP. Activation of
was required to achieve sufficient signal in the assay.
Biotinylated PHAS-I was used at 1-2 jig per 50 pi reaction
volume, with a final concentration of 1.5 ptM. Activated human
p38 kinase alpha was used at 1 /zg per 50 /zl reaction volume
representing a final concentration of 0.3 /zM. Gamma 32P-ATP was
used to follow the phosphorylation of PHAS-I. 32P-ATP has a
specific activity of 3000 Ci/mmol and was used at 1.2 /zCi per
50 /il reaction volume. The reaction proceeded either for one
hour or overnight at 30° C.
Following incubation, 20 ^1 of reaction mixture was
transferred to a high capacity streptavidin coated filter
plate (SAM-streptavidin-matrix, Promega) prewetted with
phosphate buffered saline. The transferred reaction mix was
allowed to contact the streptavidin membrane of the Promega
plate for 1-2 minutes. Following capture of biotinylated PHASI
with 32P incorporated, each well was washed to remove
unincorporated 32P-ATP three times with 2M NaCl, three washes
of 2M NaCl with 1% phosphoric, three washes of distilled water
and finally a single wash of 95% ethanol. Filter plates were
air-dried and 20 /zl of scintillant was added. The plates were
sealed and counted.
A second assay format was also employed that is based on
p38 kinase alpha induced phosphorylation of EGFRP (epidermal
growth factor receptor peptide, a 21 mer) in the presence 33PATP.
Compounds were tested in 10 fold serial dilutions over
the range of 100 tiM to 0.001 /zM in 1% DMSO. Each concentration
of inhibitor was tested in triplicate. Compounds were
evaluated in 50 iil reaction volumes in the presence of 25 mM
Hepes pH 7.5, 10 mM magnesium acetate, 4% glycerol, 0.4%
bovine serum albumin, 0.4mM DTT, 50 /zM unlabeled ATP, 25 /zg
EGFRP (200 iM) , and 0.05 tiCi 33P-ATP. Reactions were initiated
by addition of 0.09 izg of activated, purified human GST-p38
kinase alpha. Activation was carried out using GST-MKK6
(5:l,p38:MKK6) for one hour at 30° C. in the presence of 50 /zM
ATP. Following incubation for 60 minutes at room temperature,
the reaction was stopped by addition of 150 /zl of AG 1.times.8
resin in 900 mM sodium formate buffer, pH 3.0 (1 volume resin
to 2 volumes buffer) . The mixture was mixed three times with
pipetting and the resin was allowed to settle. A total of 50
/zl of clarified solution head volume was transferred from the
reaction wells to Microlite-2 plates. 150 ill of Microscint 40
was then added to each well of the Microlite plate, and the
plate was sealed, mixed, and counted.

TNF Cell Assays
Method of Isolation of Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear
Cells:
Human whole blood was collected in Vacutainer tubes
containing EDTA as an anticoagulant. A blood sample (7 ml) was
carefully layered over 5 ml PMN Cell Isolation Medium (Robbins
Scientific) in a 15 ml round bottom centrituge
sample was centrifuged at 450-500.times.g for 30-35 minutes in
a swing out rotor at room temperature. After centrifugation,
the top band of cells were removed and washed 3 times with PBS
w/o calcium or magnesium. The cells were centrifuged at 400
times for 10 minutes at room temperature. The cells were
resuspended in Macrophage Serum Free Medium (Gibco BRL) at a
concentration of 2 million cells/mi.
LPS Stimulation of Human PBMs
PBM cells (0.1 ml, 2 million/ ml) were co-incubated with
0.1 ml compound (10-0.41 /iM, final concentration) for 1 hour
in flat bottom 96 well microtiter plates. Compounds were
dissolved in DMSO initially and diluted in TCM for a final
concentration of 0.1% DMSO. LPS (Calbiochem, 20 ng/ml, final
concentration) was then added at a volume of 0.010 ml.
Cultures were incubated overnight at 37° C. Supernatants were
then removed and tested by ELISA for TNF-a and ILl-b.
Viability was analyzed using MTS. After 0.1 ml supernatant was
collected, 0.020 ml MTS was added to remaining 0.1 ml cells.
The cells were incubated at 37° C. for 2-4 hours, then the O.D.
was measured at 490-650 nM.
Maintenance and Differentiation of the U937 Human
Histiocytic Lymphoma Cell Line
U937 cells (ATCC) were propagated in RPMI 1640 containing
10% fetal bovine serum, 100 lU/ml penicillin, 100 /xg/ml
streptomycin, and 2 mM glutamine (Gibco). Fifty million cells
in 100 ml media were induced to terminal monocytic
differentiation by 24 hour incubation with 20 ng/ml phorbol
12-myristate 13-acetate (Sigma). The cells were washed by
centrifugation (200.times.g for 5 min) and resuspended in 100
ml fresh medium. After 24-48 hours, the cells were harvested,
centrifuged, and resuspended in culture medium at 2 million
cells/ml.
LPS Stimulation of TNF production by U937 Cells
U937 cells (0.1 ml, 2 million/ml) were incubated with 0.1
ml compound (0.004-50 /iM, final concentration) for 1 hour in
96 well microtiter plates. Compounds were prepared as 10 mM
stock solutions in DMSO and diluted in culture medium to yield
a final DMSO concentration of 0.1% in the cell assay. LPS (E
coli, 100 ng/ml final concentration) was then added at a
volume of 0.02 ml. After 4 hour incubation at 37° C., the
amount of TNF-.alpha, released in the culture medium was
guantitated by ELISA. Inhibitory potency is expressed as IC50
(MM) .
Rat Assay
The efficacy of the novel compounds in blocking the
production of TNF also was evaluated using a model based on
rats challenged with LPS. Male Harlen Lewis rats [Sprague
Dawley Co.] were used in this model. Each rat weighed
approximately 300 g and was fasted overnight prior to testing.
Compound administration was typically by oral gavage (although
intraperitoneal, subcutaneous and intravenous administration
were also used in a few instances) 1 to 24 hours prior to the
LPS challenge. Rats were administered 30 ^tg/kg LPS [salmonella
typhosa, Sigma Co.] intravenously via the tail vein. Blood
was collected via heart puncture 1 hour after the LPS
challenge. Serum samples were stored at -20° C. until
quantitative analysis of TNF-.alpha, by Enzyme Linked-Immuno-
Sorbent Assay ("ELISA") [Biosource]. Additional details of the
assay are set forth in Perretti, M., et al., Br. J. Pharmacol.
(1993), 110, 868-874, which is incorporated by reference in
this application.
Mouse Assay
Mouse Model of LPS-Induced TNF Alpha Production
TNF alpha was induced in 10-12 week old BALB/c female
mice by tail vein injection with 100 ng lipopolysaccharide
(from S. Typhosa) in 0.2 ml saline. One hour later mice were
bled from the retroorbital sinus and TNF concentrations in
serum from clotted blood were quantified by ELISA. Typically,
peak levels of serum TNF ranged from 2-6 ng/ml one hour after
LPS injection.
The compounds tested were administered to fasted mice by
oral gavage as a suspension in 0.2 ml of 0.5% methylcellulose
and 0.025% Tween 20 in water at 1 hour or 6 hours prior to LPS
injection. The 1 hour protocol allowed evaluation of compound
potency at Cmax plasma levels whereas the 6 hour protocol
allowed estimation of compound duration of action. Efficacy
was determined at each time point as percent inhibition of
serum TNF levels relative to LPS injected mice that received
vehicle only.
Induction and Assessment of Collagen-Induced Arthritis in
Mice
Arthritis was induced in mice according to the procedure
set forth in J. M. Stuart, Collagen Autoimmune Arthritis,
Annual Rev. Immunol. 2:199 (1984), which is incorporated
herein by reference. Specifically, arthritis was induced in 8-
12 week old DBA/1 male mice by injection of 50 fj.g of chick
type II collagen (CII) (provided by Dr. Marie Griffiths, Univ.
of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah) in complete Freund's adjuvant
(Sigma) on day 0 at the base of the tail. Injection volume was
100 /il. Animals were boosted on day 21 with 50 /ig of CII in
incomplete Freund's adjuvant (100 /xl volume). Animals were
evaluated several times each week for signs of arthritis. Any
animal with paw redness or swelling was counted as arthritic.
Scoring of arthritic paws was conducted in accordance with the
procedure set forth in Wooley et al., Genetic Control of Type
II Collagen Induced Arthritis in Mice: Factors Influencing
Disease Suspectibility and Evidence for Multiple MHC
Associated Gene Control., Trans. Proc., 15:180 (1983). Scoring
of severity was carried out using a score of 1-3 for each paw
(maximal score of 12/mouse) . Animals displaying any redness
or swelling of digits or the paw were scored as 1. Gross
swelling of the whole paw or deformity was scored as 2.
Ankylosis of joints was scored as 3. Animals were evaluated
for 8 weeks. 8-10 animals per group were used.
