Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel sulphonamide compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, processes for their production and formulation and use as pharmaceuticals.
- R is alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, cyclothioalkyl, or cyclothioalkenyl ;
- R is lower alkyl ;
- R is aryl or heteroaryl;
- Z and Z are independently oxygen or sulphur.
- the only sulphonamide exemplified is N-(2- c h l o r o p h e n y l ) - 3 - c y c l o p e n t y l o x y - 4 - methoxybenzenesulphonamide.
- European Patent Application 306 846 discloses sulphonamides of formula:-
- R 3 may be sulphonamide, as catechol-O-methyl transferase inhibitors.
- Phosphodiesterases regulate cyclic AMP concentrations.
- Phosphodiesterase IV has been demonstrated to be a principal regulator of cyclic AMP in respiratory smooth muscle and inflammatory cells. [See Torphy and Creslinski, Molecular Pharmacology 37, 206, (1990); Dent et al British Journal of Pharmacology, 90 163p (1990)].
- Inhibitors of phosphodiesterase IV have been implicated as being bronchodilators and asthma-prophylactic agents and as agents for inhibiting eosinophil accumulation and the function of eosinophils [See for example Giembycz and Dent, Clinical and Experimental Allergy 22 337 (1992)] and for treating other diseases and conditions characterised by, or having an etiology including, morbid eosinophil accumulation.
- Inhibitors of phosphodiesterase IV are also implicated in treating inflammatory diseases, proliferative 5 skin disease and conditions associated with cerebral metabolic inhibition.
- Tumour Necrosis Factor a serum glycoprotein
- AIDS human acquired immune deficiency syndrome
- AIDS AIDS
- ARC AIDS related complex
- keloid formation scar tissue formation, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or pyresis
- pyresis a number of autoimmune diseases, such as
- HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus
- HIV-1 30 strains of HIV have been identified, i.e., HIV-1, HIV-2 and HIV-3.
- T-cell mediated immunity is impaired and infected individuals manifest severe opportunistic infections and/or unusual neoplasms. HIV entry into the T lymphocyte requires T lymphocyte
- Viruses such as HIV-1 or HIV-2 infect T lymphocytes after T cell activation and such virus protein expression and/or replication is mediated or maintained by such T cell activation. Once an activated T lymphocyte is infected with HIV, the T lymphocyte must continue to be maintained in an activated state to permit HIV gene expression and/or HIV replication.
- Cytokines are implicated in activated T- cell mediated HIV protein expression and/or virus replication by playing a role in maintaining T lymphocyte activation. Therefore, interference with cytokine activity such as by inhibition of cytokine production, notably TNF, in an HIV- infected individual aids in limiting the maintenance of T cell activation, thereby reducing the progression of HIV infectivity to previously uninfected cells which results in a slowing or elimination of the progression of immune dysfunction caused by HIV infection.
- Monocytes, macrophages, and related cells, such as Kupffer and glial cells have also been implicated in maintenance of the HIV infection. These cells, like T cells, are targets for viral replication and the level of viral replication is dependent upon the activation state of the cells.
- TNF has also been implicated in various roles with other viral infections, such as the cytomegalovirus (CMV) , influenza virus, adenovirus, and the herpes virus for similar reasons as those noted.
- CMV cytomegalovirus
- influenza virus influenza virus
- adenovirus adenovirus
- herpes virus herpes virus
- TNF is also associated with yeast and fungal infections. Specifically Candida albicans has been shown to induce TNF production in vitro in human monocytes and natural killer cells.
- Candida albicans has been shown to induce TNF production in vitro in human monocytes and natural killer cells.
