  • Patent number: 9493402
    Abstract: (R)-2-Arylpropionamide compounds of formula (I), pharmaceutical preparations of the compounds and a process for making the compounds are described. The 2-Arylpropionamides of the invention are useful in the prevention and treatment of tissue damage due to the exacerbated recruitment of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and monocytes at inflammatory sites. In particular, the invention relates to the R enantiomers of omega-aminoalkylamides of 2-aryl propionic acids, of formula (I), for use as inhibitors of chemotaxis of neutrophils and monocytes induced by the C5a fraction of complement and by other chemotactic proteins whose biological activity is associated with activation of a 7-TD receptor. Selected compounds of formula (I) are dual inhibitors of both the C5a-induced chemotaxis of neutrophils and monocytes and the IL-8-induced chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
