`mune responses (Claman, et al., Immunol Rev 50:105,
`1980). this is an antigen-speci?c T-cell mediated in?am
`matory response that represents delayed-type hypersen
`sitivity reactions seen in both humans and other mam
`‘mals. The primary use of the human mixed lymphocyte
`reaction is for the determination of transplantation com
`patibility between the donor (graft) and the recipient
`(Park and Good. p. 71. In Yunis, et al., Tissue typing
`and organ transplantation. 1973 Academic Press Inc.,
`N.Y.).
`Rat adjuvant-induced arthritis represents a systemic
`in?ammatory disease with bone and cartilage changes
`similar to that observed in rheumatoid arthritis, but in
`an accelerated time span (Pearson, Arth Rheum 7:80,
`1964).
`'
`Most clinically effective drugs exhibit activity in
`these biological tests similar to that observed with the
`compounds useful in this invention (Fenichel and Chiri
`gos, ed, Immune modulation agents and their mecha
`nisms, 1984 Dekker, Inc., NY. , and Billingham, 21:389,
`1983).
`‘
`Contact Sensitivity Response to DNFB in Mice
`Balb/c female mice (=20 g, Charles River) were
`sensitized on the shaved abdomen with 25 11.1 of 0.5%
`2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB, Eastmen Kodak Co.)
`in a vehicle of 4:1 acetonezolive oil on days 0 and 1.
`Mice were are challenged with 20 pl of 0.2% DNFB in
`a vehicle of 4:1 acetonezolive oil on day 5. A constant
`area of the ears was measured immediately before chal
`lenge and 24 hours later with an engineer’s micrometer.
`Ear swelling was expressed as the difference in ear
`thickness before and after challenge in units of 10-4
`inchesiSEM. Percent suppression was calculated as:

`UTILITY
`Results of the biological tests-described below estab
`lish that the compounds useful in this invention have the
`ability of suppress/inhibit: the contact sensitivity re
`sponse to 2,4-dinitro?uorobenzene (DNFB) in mice, the
`human mixed lymphocte reaction, and adjuvant
`induced arthritis in rats.

`Compounds were administered orally from days—2
`through day 6 and were prepared in 0.25% Methocel ®
`(Dow chemical Co.). Control animals received only
`vehicle (0.25% Methocel®). Negative controls were
`not sensitized on days 0 and 1 but were ear challenged
`on day 5. Ten mice were used per group. Results with
`compounds of invention and drugs used clinically are
`shown in Tables 2 and 3.

`Human Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction
`Blood was obtained by venipunture from two non
`related human donors. Peripheral blood mononuclear
`cells (PBMC) were isolated from these samples by using
`the Leuco Prep procedure (Becton-Dickinson). PBMC
`30
`were washed twice in phosphate buffered saline (with
`out calcium and magnesium) and the separate cell isola
`tions were adjusted to the appropriate concentrations in
`media (PRMI 1640) supplemented with 10% human AB
`35
`serum and 50 pl/ml gentamicin. Cells from donor A
`(2X 105) were incubated with cells from donor B
`(2 X 105) in 96 well round bottom microliter plates at 37°
`C., 5% CO2 for 6 days. Eighteen hours prior to harvest
`ing cells from the plates, all wells were pusled with 1
`“Ci of 3H-thymidine. Cells from the plates were har
`vested on day 6 and 3H-thymidine incorporation was
`determined using a scintillation counter. Test results are
`shown in Table 4.

`grams were injected subcutaneously with 0.1 ml of
`Freund’s Complete Adjuvant containing 5 mg of M.
`butyricurn/ml of paraffin oil (Difco Laboratories) into
`the planter region of the right hind paw. Paraffin oil
`was injected for non-arthritic controls. Ten rate were
`used per group. Compounds were prepared in 0.25%
`Methocel® (Dow Chemical Co) with one drop of
`Tween @ 80 per 10 ml of Methocel ®. Animals were
`dosed every day beginning on the day of paw injection
`until day 18. the weight of each animal was recorded
`ever other day beginning on the day of the paw injec
`tions. On day 18 the animals were weighed, and the
`non-injected hind paw volume was measured using a

`useful in this lnventlon have both lmmunornodulatlng
`an anti-in?ammatory effectiveness. Based on these data,
`the compounds useful in this invention should be effica
`cious in treating autoimmune diseases such as rheuma
`toid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematious, multiple
`sclerosis, and myastenia gravis; all of which involve T
`lymphocyte mediated components similar to those
`known in the contact sensitivity model. Activities in the
`human mixed lymphocte reaction indicate that the com
`pounds of invention should be effective in preventing
`organ transplantation rejection and graft vs. host dis
`ease. These compounds were also effective n the adju
`vant-induced arthritis model and should therefore be
`useful anti-inflammatory agents for the treatment of
`chronic in?ammatory diseases such as rheumatoid ar
`thritis, psoriasis, and in?ammatory bowel disease.
`DOSAGE FORMS
`the antitumor compounds (active ingredients) of this
`invention can be administered to inhibit tumors by any
`means that produces contact of the active ingredient
`with the agent’s site of action in the body of a mammal.
`They can be administered by any conventional means
`available for use in conjunction with pharmaceuticals;
`either as individual therapeutic active ingredients or in
`a combination of therapeutic active ingredients. They
`can be administered alone, but are generally adminis
`tered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis
`of the chosen route of administration and standard phar
`maceutical practice.
`The dosage administered will be a tumor-inhibiting
`amount of active ingredient and will, of course, vary
`depending upon known factors such as the pharmaco
`dynamic characteristic of the particular active ingredi
`ent, and its mode and route of administration; age,
`health, and weight of the recipient; nature an extend of
`symptoms; kind of concurrent treatment, frequency of
`treatment, and the effect desired, usually a daily dosage
`of active ingredient can be about 0.1 to 400 milligrams
`per kilogram of body weight. Ordinarily l to 100, and
`preferably 10 to 50 milligrams per kilogram per day is
`effective to obtain desired results.
`Dosage forms (compositions) suitable for internal
`administration contain from about 10-500 milligrams to
`about 500 milligrams of active ingredient per unit. In

`these pharmaceutical compositions the active ingredi
`ent will ordinarily be present in an amount of about
`05-95% by weight based on the total weight of the
`composition.
`the active ingredient can be administered orally in
`solid dosage forms, such as capsules, tablets, and pow
`ders, or in liquid dosage forms, such as elixirs, syrups,
`and suspensions, it can also be administered parenter
`ally, in sterile liquid dosage forms.
`The. active ingredient can be administered orally in
`solid dosage forms, such as capsules, tablets, and pow
`ders, or in liquid dosage forms, such a elixirs, syrups,
`and suspensions, it can also be administered parenter
`ally, in sterile liquid dosage forms.
`Gelation capsules contain the active ingredient and
`powdered carriers, such as lactose, sucrose, mannitol,
`starch, cellulose derivatives, magnesium stearate, stea
`ric acid, and the like. Similar diluents can be used to
`make compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can
`be manufactured as sustained release products to pro
`vide for continuous release of medication over a period
`of hours, compressed tablets can be sugar coated or ?lm
`coated to mask any unpleasant taste and protect the
`tablet from the atmosphere, or enteric coated for selec
`tive disintegration in the gastrointestinal tract.
`Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can con
`tain coloring and ?avoring to increase patient accep
`tance.
`In general, water, a suitable oil, saline, aqueous dexe
`trose glucose), and related sugar solutions and glycols
`such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycols are
`suitable carriers for parenteral solutions. Solutions for
`parenteral administration contain preferably a water
`soluble salt of the active ingredient, suitable stabilizing
`agents, and if necessary, buffer substances. Antioxidiz
`ing agents such as sodium bisul?te, sodium sul?te, or
`ascorbic acid either alone or combined are suitable
`stabilizing agents. Also used are citric acid and its salts
`and sodium EDTA. In addition parenteral solutions can
`contain preservatives, such as benzalkonium chloride,
`methyl- or propyl-paraben and chlorobutanol.
`Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in
`Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, A. 0501, a stan
`dand reference text in this ?eld.
`
`10
`INJECTABLE
`A parenteral composition suitable for administration
`by injection is prepared by stirring 1.5% by weight of
`active ingredient in 10% by volume propylene glycol
`and water. The solution is made isotonic with sodium
`chloride and sterilized.
`SUSPENSION
`AN aqueous suspension is prepared for oral adminis
`tration so that each 5 milliliters contain 100 milligrams
`of finely divided active ingredient, 200 milligrams of
`sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, 5 milligrams of so
`dium benzoate, 1.0 grams of sorbitol solution, U.S.P.,
`and 0.025 milliliters of vanillin.
`The same dosage forms can generally be used when
`the compounds of this invention are administered step
`wise in conjunction with another therapeutic agent.
`When the drugs are administered in physical combina
`tion, the dosage form and administration route should
`be selected for compatibility with both drugs. Suitable
`dosages, dosage forms and administration routes are
`illustrated in Table 6.
