The identification of novel inhaled p38α/ß mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) (MAPK14/11) inhibitors suitable for the treatment of pulmonary inflammatory conditions has been described. A rational drug design approach started from the identification of a novel tetrahydronaphthalene series, characterized by nanomolar inhibition of p38α with selectivity over p38γ and p38δ isoforms. SAR optimization of 1c is outlined, where improvements in potency against p38α and ligand-enzyme dissociation kinetics led to several compounds showing pronounced anti-inflammatory effects in vitro (inhibition of TNFα release). Targeting of the defined physicochemical properties allowed the identification of compounds 3h, 4e, and 4f, which showed, upon intratracheal instillation, low plasma levels, prolonged lung retention, and anti-inflammatory effects in a rat acute model of a bacterial endotoxin-induced pulmonary inflammation. Compound 4e, in particular, displayed remarkable efficacy and duration of action and was selected for progression in disease models of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
