Pyrrolidinyl and pyrrolinyl ethylamine compounds as kappa agonists
A compound of the following formula: 1
[0001] This invention relates to novel pyrrolidinyl and pyrrolinyl ethylamine compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them. The pharmaceutically active compounds of this invention can be used as a selective kappa-receptor agonist.
BACKGROUND ART[0002] Opioid analgesics such as morphine are therapeutically useful, but their usage is strictly limited because of their side effects such as drug dependency and abuse. Thus, analgesics with high usefulness and reduced tendency to cause drug dependency are desired. Considerable pharmacological and biochemical studies have been carried out to discover the opioid peptides and opioid receptors, and the discovery of the subtype of opioid receptor such as mu (&mgr;), delta (&dgr;), kappa (&kgr;) in a variety of species, including human, has made a beginning towards creating new analgesics. As it is thought that opioid analgesics such as morphine act as a mu-receptor agonist, separating the action based on a kappa-receptor agonist from the action based on mu-receptor agonist has been investigated. Recently kappa-selective agonists (kappa-agonists) have been reported from the above viewpoint for example, EMD-61753: A Barber et al., Br. J Pharmacol., Vol. 113, pp. 1317-1327, 1994. Some of them actually have been studied in clinical trials (Med Res. Rev., Vol. 12, p. 525, 1992).
[0003] European Patent No. EP 0254545 B1 discloses a variety of ethylenediamine compounds. European Patent No. EP 0483580 A2 discloses a variety of pyrrolidine compounds as analgesics. International Publication WO 96/30339 discloses a wide variety of pyrrolidinyl hydroxamic acid compounds as selective kappa-receptor agonists.

[0127] in the absence or presence of a base in a reaction inert solvent.
[0128] General Synthesis
[0129] The kappa agonists (kappa-receptor agonists) of formula (I) of this invention can be prepared as described in the following schemes. Unless otherwise indicated, in the reaction schemes that follow, A, Ar1, Ar2, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as above. 6
[0130] In the above Scheme Ia, an optionally substituted styrene oxide (II) or an optionally substituted phenyl-1,2-ethanediol 2-tosylate (III) can be reacted with a pyrrolidine compound (IV) in the absence or presence of a base such as K2CO3 to form a mixture of substituted pyrrolidinyl ethanols (Va) and (Vb) . This reaction may be carried out in the absence or presence of a reaction inert solvent (e.g., methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), isopropylalcohol, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), methylene chloride (CH2Cl2), water, benzene, toluene, n-hexane or cyclohexane). This reaction can be carried out at a temperature from −78° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent, preferably at from room temperature to a reflux temperature of the solvent for 5 minutes to 48 hours, preferably from 0.5 to 12 hours. The compound (Va) or the mixture of the compounds (Va) and (Vb), can be treated with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of a base such as trimethylamine in a proper solvent such as dichloroethane, followed by coupling with a methyl ester compound of formula (VIa) to give an intermediate compound (VII). This coupling reaction can be carried out, in the absence or presence of a base such as sodium hydride (NaH), in a suitable polar solvent such as water, EtOH or DMF, at from room temperature to reflux temperature of the solvent, for 15 minutes to 6 hours.
[0131] Then, the intermediate compound (VII) may be treated with a base such as NaOH in a reaction inert solvent such as methanol, at a temperature from 0 to 100° C. for 5 minutes to 12 hours to give a carboxylic acid compound (VII).
[0132] The carboxylic acid (VII) can be reacted with an alkyl amine in the presence of a carbodiimide compound to give the pyrrolydinyl ethylamine compound (I). A convenient carbodiimide compound is 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimeythylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (WSC). This reaction may be carried out by contacting substantially equivalent amounts of the carboxylic acid and alklamine with, a small excess amount of the carbodiimide in an appropriate solvent. Appropriate solvents are inert aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers, halogenated hydrocarbons especially dichloromethane. The reaction may take place at a temperature in the range from −30 to 100° C., usually from 0 to 30° C. for 30 minutes to 24 hours, usually 12 to 16 hours at room temperature. The resulting product can be isolated and purified by standard techniques.
[0133] If required, the hydroxy protecting group in A of the compound (I) obtained (i.e., Y of —OY), can be removed by the appropriate method for the particular protecting group chosen. For example, a typical protecting group methoxymethyl, can be removed by acid catalyzed hydrolysis in the presence of acid catalyst such as HCl. A further convenient protecting group in A is the tetrahydropyranyl group (THP). This can be also removed by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. Appropriate acid catalysts are organic acids, inorganic acids, or Lewis acids such as acetic acid (AcOH), p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH), hydrochloric acid (HCl), and dimethylaluminium chloride (Me2AlCl). Preferred acid catalyst is HCl.
[0134] An optically inactive compound (I) wherein Ar1 is optionally substituted phenyl, can be prepared by subjecting a corresponding optically inactive 1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol 2-tosylate of the formula (III) or 1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidinylethanol (Vb) to the reactions described in Scheme Ia. Optically inactive compounds (III), wherein Ar1 is optionally substituted phenyl, may be prepared according to the procedures described in for example Tetrahedron, Vol. 47, pp. 9861-9866, 1991, Cehm. Rev., Vol. 80, pp. 187-213, 1980 or J. Org. Chem., Vol. 47, pp. 1229-1232, 1982, followed by tosylation such as reaction with p-toluanesulfonyl chloride in pyridine at 0° C. Optically inactive (Vb) can be prepared according to the procedures described for example in Tetrahedron Lett, Vol. 35, pp. 1511-1514, 1994 followed by a conventional reduction.
[0135] A compound of the formula (I) wherein A is hydroxy, R2 is alkoxy and R3 is hydrogen can be obtained firm a methylbenzoate of formula (VII) wherein A is hydroxy. First the hydroxy group of the methylbenzoate compound may be protected with a suitable protecting group such as tert-butyldimethysilyl group. Second the hydroxy-protected methyl ester compound can be subjected to hydrolysis to give the corresponding carboxylic acid. Then the carboxylic acid can be subjected to amidation to give the compound (I). The hydroxy protection can be conducted by subjecting the compound of the formula (VII) in DMF to a reaction with tert-butyldimethylsilylchloride and immidazole solution at about 0° C. for 1 to 6 hours. The hydrolysis can be carried out in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide in a polar solvent such as methanol at about the reflux temperature of the solvent for from 1 to 10 hours. The amidation can be carried out with a desired O-alkylhydroxylamine in the presence of a carbodiimide such as WSC at room temperature for from 1 to 24 hours. If deprotection is required, a conventional procedures can be employed. For example, when the hydroxy group is protected with tert-butyldimethysilyl group, the amide compound can be treated with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in a proper solvent such as THF at room temperature.
[0136] A compound of formula (I), wherein A is absent and the broken line is a double bond, can be also prepared by subjecting a 2-phenyl-2-(3-pyrrolin-1-yl)ethanol compound (Vc) and a benzamide compound to the coupling reactions illustrated in Scheme Ia. 7
[0137] The ethanol compound (Vc) can be prepared by reacting a corresponding phenylglicinol and 1,4-dichlorobutene in the presence of base such as Et3N in a reaction inert solvent such as ethanol at the reflux temperature of the solvent for 1 to 24 hours.
[0138] A compound of the formula (1) wherein A is oxo (═O), can be prepared by oxidation of the corresponding pyrrolidinol compound. A suitable oxidation is Swern oxidation.
[0139] Further, the compounds of the formula (I) wherein —Ar2—C(═O)-N(R2)—, is a phthalimide group, can be prepared by using a compound of the formula (VIb): 8

[0145] Compounds of the formula (Va) and (Vb) wherein A is fluorine and Ar1 is phenyl, can be prepared from a commercially available 1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinol. First, hydroxy group of the pyrrolidinol can be converted to an appropriate leaving group such as p-toluenesulfonate. The conversion can be achieved by subjecting the ptrrolidinol to the reaction with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine. Second, the leaving group may be replaced by fluorine by a reaction with a suitable fluorinating agent such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride in a reaction inert solvent such as THF. Then, the 3-fluoropyrrolidine can be subjected to hydrogenation followed by a coupling with a stylene oxide of formula (II). The hydrogenation can be carried out in the presence of a suitable cat lyst such as palladium hydroxide on carbon under hydrogen atmosphere in a reaction inert solvents such as EtOH at from 0° C. to a room temperature for 5 minutes to 48 hours preferably 12 to 36 hours. The coupling reaction can take place in the absence or presence of a reaction inert solvent such as EtOH.
[0146] Compounds of the formula (Va) and (Vb) wherein A is chlorine and Ar1 is phenyl, can also be prepared from 1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinol. For example, the 1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinol can be subjected to chlorination to give 1-benzyl-3-chloropyrrolidine. The benzyl group of the 1-benzyl-3 -chloropyrrolidine can be removed by treating the 1-benzyl-3-chloropyrrolidine with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate followed by coupling with styreneoxide of the formula (II).

The debenzylation can be carried out according to the well known methods. The debenzylation is typically carried out in a reaction inert solvent such as dichloroethane at the reflux temperature of the solvent for 5 minutes to 3 hours. Then the solvent may be evaporated and the residue can be subjected to the coupling reaction with styrene oxide in a suitable solvent such as EtOH at the reflux temperature of the solvent for 5 minutes to 4 hours.

[0151] B: A compound of the formula (VIa) wherein Ar2 is substituted by fluorine and R1 is hydrogen, can be prepared from a nitrobenzoic acid by subjecting the nitrobenzoic acid to esterification followed by reduction. The esterification can be achieved in the presence of acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid in MeOH at the reflux temperature of the solvent for 1 to 17 hours. The reduction can be carried out in the presence of a reducing agent such as iron powder in a suitable solvent such as acetic acid at from room temperature to 60 ° C. for 0.5 to 6 hours. If desired, the amino group can be alkylated by a well known method. For example, first the methyl ester can be treated with trifluoroacetic anhydride in the presence of base such as Na2CO3 in a suitable solvent such as CH2Cl2, then can be alkylated with a suitable alkylating agent such as iodomethane. A compound of the formula (VIa) wherein Ar2 is substituted by chlorine and R1 is alkyl, can be prepared from a chlorobenzoic acid by alkylation. The alkylation can be take place in the presence of a base such as NaH with a suitable alkyl halide in a reaction inert solvent such as DMF at about 0° C. for 1 to 24 hours.

A suitable esterificating agent is, for example, trimethylsilyldiazomethane. The methylation of the amino group can be carried out according to the same procedures of the above mentioned preparation of compounds (VIa).
[0153] Alternatively, an amide compound of the general formula (VId) 10
[0154] wherein Ar2a, X, R1, R2 and R3 are defined as above, can be subjected to the coupling reaction with compounds (Va) and (Vb) to directly give a compound (I). This coupling reaction can be carried out in the absence or presence of a base such as NaH in a reaction inert solvent. The preferred solvents include EtOH and DMF. The reaction can be carried out at a temperature in the range of −78° C. to the reflux temperature of the solvent, preferably from room temperature to the reflux temperature, for 5 minutes to 48 hours, preferably 0.5 to 24 hours.
[0155] The amide compounds of the formula (VId) can be prepared according to the procedures described below.
[0156] A: A compound of the formula (VId) wherein Ar2a is phenyl; R1 is hydroxy and X is hydrogen, can be obtained by reduction of a known nitro N-alkylbenzamide compound. Suitable reducing agents include for example, zinc powder. This reduction can be carried out by adding the reducing agent to a mixture of the nitro N-alkylbenzamide compound and ammonium chloride at about room temperature (e.g., 20-25° C.) for from 1 to 3 hours.
[0157] B: A compound of the formula (VId) wherein Ar2a is phenyl; R1 is hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl; R2 is C1-C7 alkyl optionally substituted by hydroxy; R3 is hydrogen and X is hydrogen or halo, may be prepared from a known amino benzoic acid compound, wherein the phenyl ring is optionally substituted by halo. The benzoic acid can be subjected to amidation under the similar conditions to those illustrated in Scheme Ia. If desired, the amino group or the benzamide compound obtained can be alkylated. For example, preferable alkylating agent is alkylhalide, and this alkylation can be carried out in the presence of base such as potassium carbonate at about room temperature for 12 to 24 hours.
[0158] C: An amide compound (VId) wherein Ar2a is pyridyl, and —NHR1 group is on the 5-position and the amide group is on the 2-position of the pyridine ring respectively, can be prepared by treating an amino-protected picolinic acid with oxalyl chloride followed by amidation with an desired alkyl amine. The treatment of the 5-protected-amino picolic acid and oxalyl chloride can be performed in a reaction inert solvent such as CH2Cl2 or DMF/CH2Cl2 in the presence of a base such as triethylamine at room temperature. The amidation can be carried out in the presence of a base in a reaction inert solvent. The base is preferably triethylamine and the reaction may be conducted in a suitable solvent, e.g., dichloroethane at about 15° C. If required, the amino protecting group can be removed by the procedures known to those skilled in the art.
[0159] An alternative method to prepare the compounds of the formula (I) is illustrated in the following Scheme Ib. 11
[0160] The mixture of the compounds (Va) and (Vb) can be treated with methanesulfonyl chloride in a similar way as shown in Scheme Ia, followed by coupling with a cyano compound (VIe) to give the compound of the formula (VIIb). This coupling reaction can be carried out in a reaction inert solvent such as DMF or ethanol, in the presence or absence of base such as NaK NaNH2 or 2,6-lutidine. This reaction may take place at from room temperature to the reflux temperature of the solvent for 30 minutes to 12 hours.
[0161] Then, the compound (VIIb) may be reacted with a suitable alkoxide such as t-BuOK in the presence of water, in a polar solvent such as t-BuOH. This reaction may take place at reflux temperature of the solvent for 5 minutes to 6 hours. Then, a proper alkyl halide can be added to the resulting reaction mixture. The mixture thus obtained is refluxed for 5 minutes to 5 hours. The target compound (I) can be isolated and purified from a resulting reaction mixture by standard techniques.
[0162] Cyano compounds of the formula (VIe), wherein Ar2 is a substituted phenyl can be prepared by treating known substituted 4-aminobenzonitrile compounds with NaH or K2CO3, followed by alkylation with an alkylhalide in a reaction inert solvent such as DMF.
[0163] The compounds of formula (I) of this invention are basic, and therefore they will form acid-addition salts. All such salts are within the scope of this invention. However, it is necessary to use an acid addition salts which is pharmaceutically-acceptable for administration to a mammal. The acid-addition salts can be prepared by standard methods, e.g., by contacting the basic and acidic compounds in substantially equivalent proportions in water or an organic solvent such as methanol or ethanol, or a mixture thereof The salts can be isolated by evaporation of the solvent. Typical salts which can be formed are the hydrochloride, nitrate, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, acetate, lactate, citrate, tartrate, succinate, malate, fumarate, gluconate, saccharate, benzoate, methanesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, oxalate and pamoate (1,1′-methylene-bis-(2-hydroxy-3-naphtoate)) salts.
[0164] The compounds of formula (I) of this invention, wherein Ar1 is phenyl substituted by carboxy-C1-C4 alkoxy are acidic, and they will form base salts. All such salts are within the scope of this invention. However, it is necessary to use a base salt which is pharmaceutically-acceptable for administration to a mammal. The base salts can be prepared by standard methods, e.g., by contacting the acidic and basic compounds in substantially equivalent proportions in water or an organic solvent such as methanol or ethanol, or a mixture thereof. The salts can be formed are the sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salts, and also salts with ammonia and amines, such as ethylamine, diethylamine, cyclohexylamine, piperidine or morpholine salts.
[0165] Also included within the scope of this invention are bioprecursors (also called as pro-drugs) of the kappa agonist compounds of the formula (I). A bioprecursor of a kappa agonist of formula (I) is a chemical derivative thereof which is readily converted back into the parent compound of formula (I) in biological systems. In particular, a bioprecursor of a kappa agonist of formula (D) is converted back to the parent compound of formula (I) after the bioprecursor has been administered to, and absorbed by, a mammalian subject, e.g., a human subject. For example, it is possible to make a bioprecursor of a kappa agonist of the invention of formula (I) in which one or both of A and R1 is hydroxy groups by making an ester of the hydroxy group. When only one of A and R1 is a hydroxy group, only mono-esters are possible. When both A and R1 are hydroxy, mono- and di-esters (which can be the same or different) can be made. Typical esters are simple alkanoate esters, such as acetate, propionate, buryrare, etc. In addition, when A or R1 is a hydroxy group, bioprecursors can be made by converting the hydroxy group to an acyloxymethyl derivative (e. g., a pivaloyloxymethyl derivative) by reaction with an acyloxymethyl halide (e. g., pivaloyloxymethyl chloride).
[0166] The kappa agonists compounds of the present invention of formula (I) exhibit significant agonist activity toward opioid kappa-receptor and are thus useful as an analgesic, anesthetic, anti-inflammatory agent or neuroprotective agent, and also useful in the treatment of arthritis, stroke or functional bowel disease such as abdominal pain, for the treatment of a mammalian subject, especially a human subject.
[0167] The activity of the kappa-agonists compounds of formula (I) of the present invention, is demonstrated by the opioid receptor binding activity. Such activity may be determined in homogenate from guinea pig whole brain, as described by Regina, A. et al., in J. Receptor Res., Vol. 12: pp. 171-180, 1992. In summary, tissue homogenate is incubated at 25° C. for 30 min in the presence of labelled ligand and test compounds The mu-sites are labelled by 1 nM of (3H)[D-Ala2,MePhe4,Gly-ol5]enkephalin (DAMGO), the delta-sites by 1 nM of (3H)-[D-Pen2,5]enkephalin (DPDPE) and the kappa-sites by 0.5 nM (3H)-CI-977. The non specific binding is measured by use of 1 &mgr;M CI-977 (kappa), 1 &mgr;M (DAMGO) (mu), 1 &mgr;M (DPDPE) (delta). Data are expressed as the IC50 values obtained by a non-linear fitting program using the Cheng and Prusoff equation. Some compounds prepared in the Examples showed a potent IC50 value against kappa receptor in the range of 0.01 to 100 nM.
[0168] The analgesic activity of the kappa-agonist compounds at the central nervous system can also be demonstrated by the Formalin Test as described by Wheeler-Aceto, H. et al. in Psychopharmacology, Vol. 104: pp. 35-44, 1991. In this testing, male SD rats (80-100 g) are injected s.c. with a test compound dissolved in 0.1% methyl cellulose saline or vehicle. After 30 min., 50 &mgr;l of a 2% formalin are injected into a hind paw The number of licking the injected paw per observation period is measured 15-30 min. after the injection of formalian and expressed as % inhibition compared to the respective vehicle group. Some compounds prepared in the Examples showed a potent ED50 value in the range of less than 25 mg/kg p.o.
[0169] The activity of the kappa agonists, against peripheral acute-pain, can be demonstrated by the Randall-Selitto assay (M. E. Planas, Pain, Vol.60, pp. 67-71, 1995) In this testing, Male SD rats (100- 120 g) were used and the nociceptive threshold at the right paw was measured by Randall-Selitto (Ugo Basile) method. After three days of acclimation of assay condition, experiments were carried out. Hyperalgesia was induced by the intraplantar injection of a 0.1 ml/right paw of 1% solution of carrageenin. Painful pressure were delivered to the right plantar via a wedge-shaped piston and the level of response were measured at 3.5 and 4.5 hr later the carrageenin injection. Some compounds, prepared in the working examples as described below, were tested in accordance with the above procedures, and showed good activity against acute-pain (i.e. ED50 value of less than 10 mg/kg p.o.).
[0170] The activity of the kappa agonists, against chronic pain at the periphery, can be demonstrated by the adjuvant-induced hyperalgesia, according to the procedure described by Judith S. Waker et al., as reported in Life Sciences, Vol. 57, PP. 371-378, 1995. In this testing, male SL rats, weighing 180-230 g at the time of inoculation, were used. To produce adjuvant arthritis, rats were anesthetized with ether and inoculated intradermally into the footpad of the right hindpaw with 0.05 ml of Mycobacterium butyricum suspended in paraffin oil (2 mg/ml). Nociceptive threshold was evaluated by paw pressure test, using same procedures of the Randall-Selitto assay (as being described above), and edema was measured as the width of foot. Assays were done through the whole period.
[0171] The sedation function of kappa agonists can be determined by the Rotarod Test as described by Hayes, A. G. et al. in Br. J. Pharmacol, Vol. 79, pp. 731-736, 1983. In this testing, a group of 6-10 male SD rats (100-120 g) are selected for their ability to balance on a rotating rod (diameter 9 cm, rate of rotation 5 r.p.m.). The selected rats are then injected s.c. with a test compound dissolved in 0.1% methyl cellulose saline The animals are tested again 30 min. after treatment; a rat failing off the bar more than twice within 150 seconds is considered to be showing motor impairment and the animal's performance (i.e. time on the rotarod) are recorded. The ED50 value, defined as the dose of the drug which have the performance time is observed in the control group. Some compounds prepared in the working examples as described below, were tested in accordance with the above procedures.
[0172] The diuresis function of the kappa agonists can be determined according to the procedure described by A Barber et al., (Br. J. Phamacol., Vol. 111, pp. 843-851, 1994). Some compounds, prepared in the working examples as described below, were tested in accordance with the above procedures.
[0173] The kappa agonists compounds of formula (I) of this invention can be administered in either the oral parenteral or topical routes to mammals. A preferable dosage level may be in a range of from 0.01 mg to 10 mg per kg of body weight per day, although variations will necessarily occur depending upon the weight and condition of the subject being treated, the disease state being treated and the particular route of administration chosen. However, a dosage level that is in the range of from 0.01 mg to 1 mg per kg of body weight per day, single or divided dosage is most desirably employed in humans for the treatment of pain in a postoperative patient and a pain like hyperalgesia caused by chronic diseases.
[0174] The compounds of the present invention may be administered alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or diluents by either of the above routes previously indicated, and such administration can be carried out in single or multiple doses. More particularly, the novel therapeutic agents of the invention can be administered in a wide variety of different dosage forms, i.e., they may be combined with various pharmaceutically acceptable inert carriers in the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges, trochees, hard candies, powders, sprays, creams, salves, suppositories, jellies, gels, pastes, lotions, ointments, aqueous suspensions, injectable solutions, elixirs, syrups, and the like. Such carriers include solid diluents or fillers, sterile aqueous media and various nontoxic organic solvents, etc. Moreover, oral pharmaceutical compositions can be suitably sweetened and/or flavored. In general the therapeutically-effective compounds of this invention are present in such dosage forms at concentration levels ranging 5% to 70% by weight, preferably 10% to 50% by weight.
[0175] For oral administration, tablets containing various excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, dipotassium phosphate and glycine may be employed along with various disintegrants such as starch and preferably corn, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates, together with granulation binders like polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often very useful for tabletting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in gelatine capsules; preferred materials in this connection also include lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene grycols When aqueous suspensions and/or elixirs are desired for oral administration, the active ingredient may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matter or dyes, and, if so desired, emulsifying and/or suspending agents as well, together with such diluents as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin and various like combinations thereof.
[0176] For parenteral administration, solutions of a compound of the present invention in either sesame or peanut oil or in aqueous propylene glycol may be employed. The aqueous solutions should be suitably buffered (preferably pH>8) if necessary and the liquid diluent first rendered isotonic. These aqueous solutions are suitable for intravenous injection purposes. The only solutions are suitable for intra-articular, intra-muscular and subcutaneous injection purposes. The preparation of all these solutions under sterile conditions is readily accomplished by standard pharmaceutical techniques well-known to those skilled in the art. Additionally, it is also possible to administer the compounds of the present invention topically when treating inflammatory conditions of the skin and this may preferably be done by way of creams, jellies, gels, pastes, ointments and the like, in accordance with standard pharmaceutical practice.
