Definitions

  • This invention relates to novel sulfonamide substituted diphenyl urea compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, processes for their preparation, and use thereof in treating IL-8, GRO ⁇ , GRO ⁇ , GRO ⁇ , NAP-2, and ENA-78 mediated diseases.
  • Interleukin-8 Interleukin-8
  • NAP-1 neutrophil attractant/activation protein- 1
  • MDNCF monocyte derived neutrophil chemotactic factor
  • NAF neutrophil activating factor
  • T-cell lymphocyte chemotactic factor T-cell lymphocyte chemotactic factor.
  • Interleukin-8 is a chemoattractant for neutrophils, basophils, and a subset of T-cells. It is produced by a majority of nucleated cells including macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells exposed to TNF, IL-l ⁇ , IL-l ⁇ or LPS, and by neutrophils themselves when exposed to LPS or chemotactic factors such as FMLP. M.
  • GRO ⁇ , GRO ⁇ , GRO ⁇ and NAP-2 also belong to the chemokine family. Like IL-8 these chemokines have also been referred to by different names. For instance GRO ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ have been referred to as MGSA ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ respectively (Melanoma Growth Stimulating Activity), see Richmond et al., J. Cell Physiology 129, 375 (1986) and Chang et al., J. Immunol 148, 451 (1992). All of the chemokines of the ⁇ -family which possess the ELR motif directly preceding the CXC motif bind to the IL-8 B receptor (CXCR2).
  • CXCR2 IL-8 B receptor
  • IL-8, GRO ⁇ , GRO ⁇ , GRO ⁇ , NAP-2, and ENA-78 stimulate a number of functions in vitro. They have all been shown to have chemoattractant properties for neutrophils, while IL-8 and GRO ⁇ have demonstrated T-lymphocytes, and basophilic chemotactic activity. In addition IL-8 can induce histamine release from basophils from both normal and atopic individuals. GRO- ⁇ and IL-8 can in addition, induce lysozomal enzyme release and respiratory burst from neutrophils. IL-8 has also been shown to increase the surface expression of Mac- 1 (CD1 lb/CD 18) on neutrophils without de novo protein synthesis.
  • ELR chemokines (those containing the amino acids ELR motif just prior to the CXC motif) have also been implicated in angiostasis, Strieter et al., Science 258, 1798 (1992).
  • IL-8, GRO ⁇ , GRO ⁇ , GRO ⁇ and NAP-2 induce neutrophil shape change, chemotaxis, granule release, and respiratory burst, by binding to and activating receptors of the seven-transmembrane, G-protein-linked family, in particular by binding to IL-8 receptors, most notably the IL-8 ⁇ receptor (CXCR2). Thomas et al., J. Biol. Chem. 266. 14839 (1991); and Holmes et al., Science 253. 1278 (1991).

  • IL-8R ⁇ which binds only IL-8 with high affinity
  • _L-8R ⁇ which has high affinity for IL-8 as well as for GRO ⁇ , GRO ⁇ , GRO ⁇ and NAP-2.
