We investigated proinflammatory cytokine TNFalpha production inhibitors in order to develop novel anti-inflammatory agents. According to the results, we found that 17, a pyrrole derivative possessing a tetrahydropyridine group at the beta-position, showed potent inhibitory activity in vitro (inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced TNFalpha production in human whole blood, IC(50)=1.86 microM) and in vivo (inhibition of LPS induced TNFalpha production in mice, ID(50)=5.98 mg/kg).
