Design and synthesis of a pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-one class of anti-inflammatory FMS inhibitors

A series of pyrimidinopyridones has been designed, synthesized and shown to be potent and selective inhibitors of the FMS tyrosine kinase. Introduction of an amide substituent at the 6-position of the pyridone core resulted in a significant potency increase. Compound 24 effectively inhibited in vivo LPS-induced TNF in mice greater than 80%.
