TRI-SUBSTITUTED UREAS AS CYTOKINE INHIBITORS.

摘要

The present invention relates to 1,1,3-tri-substituted ureas having the formula (I) wherein R, R1 and R2 are as defined in the claims which inhibit the extracellular release of inflammatory cytokines, said cytokines responsible for one or more human or higher mammalian disease states. The present invention further relates to compositions comprising said 1,1,3-tri-substituted ureas which inhibit the extracellular release of inflammatory cytokines, and methods for preventing, abating, or otherwise controlling enzymes which are understood to be the active components responsible for the herein described disease states.
