BICYCLIC PYRAZOLONE CYTOKINE INHIBITORS

摘要

The present invention relates to 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrazolo[1,2a]pyrazol-1-ones 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 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrazolo[1,2a]pyrazol-1-ones and methods for preventing, abating, or otherwise controlling enzymes which are understood to be the active components responsible for the herein described disease states.
