We have previously shown that inhibitors of I B kinase (IKK ), including 4(2 -aminoethyl)amino-1,8-dimethylimidazo(1,2a)quinoxaline (BMS-345541), are efficacious against experimental arthritis in rodents. In our efforts to identify an analog as a clinical candidate for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, we have discovered the potent and highly selective IKK inhibitor 2-meth...
