Abstract

The STAT6 (signal transducers and activators of transcription 6) protein is activated by interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13, and plays an important role in T-helper cell 2 (Th2) differentiation. STAT6 might therefore be an excellent therapeutic target for various allergic conditions, including asthma and atopic diseases. We synthesized a series of 2-{[2-(4- hydroxyphenyl) ethyl] amino} pyrimidine-5-carboxamide derivatives and evaluated their ...
