Abstract
The biphenyl amides are a novel series of p38 MAP kinase inhibitors. Structure-activity relationships of the series against p38alpha are discussed with reference to the X-ray crystal structure of an example. The series was optimised rapidly to a compound showing oral activity in an in vivo disease model.
