Title: Imidazopyrimidines, potent inhibitors of p38 MAP kinase.

Authors: Rupert KC, Henry JR, Dodd JH, Wadsworth SA, Cavender DE, Olini GC, Fahmy B, Siekierka JJ.

Abstract: 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.
