Abstract: Continued SAR optimization of a series of 3-methylpyridine-2-carbonyl amino-2,4-dimethyl-benzoic acid led to the selection of compound 4f for clinical studies. Compound 4f showed an IC50 of 123nM for inhibition of PGE2-induced TNFα reduction in an ex vivo LPS-stimulated human whole blood assay (showing >10-fold increase over clinical compound CJ-023,423). Pharmacokinetic profile, selectivity and in vivo efficacy comparing 4f to NSAID diclofenac in the monoiodoacetic acid (MIA) pain model and adjuvant induced arthritis (AIA) inflammatory model are included.
