Abstract

The synthesis of a 6, 8-disubstituted 1, 7-naphthyridine 1 and its characterization as a potent and selective phosphodiesterase type 4D inhibitor (IC50= 1.5 nM) are described. The compound inhibited TNFα-release from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and was orally active in a model of adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats.
