Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to N-(2-aryl-propionyl)-amides, processes for their preparation and pharmaceutical preparations for the prevention and treatment of tissue damage caused by the acute recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (leukocytes PMN) at inflamed sites damage. In particular, the present invention relates to the R enantiomer of N-(2-aryl-propionyl)-amides useful for inhibiting neutrophil chemotaxis induced by interleukin 8 (IL-8). Background technique
[0002] Chemokines constitute a family of low molecular weight cytokines directly involved in inflammatory responses, translocation of immune cells and directed transplantation of cellular components. The technical term "chemokine" is an abbreviation of the words "chemotaxis" and "cytokine", which emphasizes the general biological function of these cellular mediators.
[0003] Chemokines are divided into two subspecies, which are distinguished by the sequence of the amino acids CC and CXC,...
