Abstract
Pharmaceutical compositions incorporate compounds that affect cytokine production and/or secretion. Such compounds include aryl substituted olefinic amine compounds, pyridyloxylalkylamines and phenoxyalkylamines, and aryl substituted amine compounds, such as 3-aminophenyl amine compounds. Such pharmaceutical compositions can be used for treating a wide variety of conditions, diseases and disorders, and particularly those associated with dysfunction of cytokine production and/or secretion. Of particular interest are pharmaceutical compositions useful for preventing and treating conditions, diseases and disorders associated with undesirably high levels of cytokine production and/or secretion. Such pharmaceutical compositions are useful for treating the effects of inflammatory bowel disease, inflammation, arthritis, cachexia in neoplastics diseases or associated with AIDS, and autoimmune diseases.
