Discovery and Characterization of the N-phenyl-N 0 -Naphthylurea Class of p38 Kinase Inhibitors

Journal Article · · Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters

An effort aimed at exploring structural diversity in the N-pyrazole-N{prime}-naphthylurea class of p38 kinase inhibitors led to the synthesis and characterization of N-phenyl-N{prime}-naphthylureas. Examples of these compounds displayed excellent inhibition of TNF-{alpha} production in vitro, as well as efficacy in a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide induced endotoxemia. In addition, perspective is provided on the role of a sulfonamide functionality in defining inhibitor potency.
