title: Discovery of biphenylketones as dual modulators of inflammation and bone loss.
abstract: Biphenylketones were identified as novel inhibitors of NFkappaB activation. Structure-activity studies led to the identification of compound 4c, which had good potency against osteoclasts (IC50=0.8 microM), showed oral activity, and was able to completely prevent inflammation and bone loss in vivo.
