Abstract

Triaylsulfonamides were identified as novel anti-inflammatory agents, acting by inhibition of RANKL and TNFa signaling. Structure-activity studies led to the identification of compounds with in vitro potencies of < 100 nM against J774 macrophages and osteoclasts, but with little activity against osteoblasts or hepatocytes (IC50 > 50 µM). A representative compound (4k, ABD455) was able to completely prevent inflammation in vivo in a prevention model and was highly effective at controlling inflammation in a treatment model.
