Tetrahydroquinolin-3-yl carbamate glucocorticoid receptor agonists with reduced PEPCK activation.

Continuing studies on tetrahydroquinoline glucocorticoid receptor anti-inflammatory agents lead to the identification of several tetrahydroquinolin-3-yl carbamates that exhibited steroid-like activity in in vitro transrepression assays with reduced transactivation of phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), a key enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway.
