Abstract

The influx of leukocytes (eosinophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes) into the airways and their production of proinflammatory cytokines contribute to the severity of allergic asthma. We describe here the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a series of triazinylphenylalkylthiazolecarboxylic acid esters that were designed to act as lung-specific antedrugs and inhibitors of the production of interleukin (IL)-5, a primary eosinophil- ...
