Novel carbocyclic nucleoside agents useful as selective inhibitors of proinflammatory cytokines

摘要

The present invention relates to compounds of the formulawhereinX is N3, NH2, NHR, N(R)2, CN, SH, SR, or OR1; R is C1-C4 alkyl or (CH2)n-phi; n is an integer 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; phi is a phenyl group unsubstituted or substituted with from 1 to 3 substituents, each substituent is independently selected from the group consisting of C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, halogen, CF3, OCF3, OH, CN, NO2 or NH2; R1 is C1-C4 alkyl or (CH2)m-NR2R3; m is an integer 1, 2, 3 or 4; R2 and R3 are each independently C1-C4 fluorinated akyl or cycloalkyl;The X substituent on the cyclopentanyl ring is in the TRANS configuration relative to the bicyclic substituent;Y is nitrogen;Z1 and Z2 are each independently hydrogen, halogen or NH2; and---- represents a singe or double bond;or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of treatment comprising administering of such compounds.
