Novel phenylpiperazine derivatives as dual cytokine regulators with TNF-alpha suppressing and IL-10 augmenting activity

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2000 May 1;10(9):875-9. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00128-1.

Abstract

Phenylpiperazine derivatives were synthesized as dual cytokine regulators with TNF-alpha suppressing and IL-10 augmenting activity. Lead optimization led to compound 5k having the potent regulatory activity and demonstrating remarkable protective effects against the lethal challenge of LPS in mice. suggesting that 5k would be a promising drug candidate for the treatment of TNF-alpha associated diseases including septic shock.
