1. A method for inhibiting unwanted non-malignant lymphoproliferation associated with an inflammatory disease,
wherein the inflammatory disease is diarrhea; autoimmune disease; proliferative glomerulonephritis; lupus erythematosus; scleroderma; temporal arteritis; thromboangiitis obliterans; mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome; asthma; host versus graft; or inflammatory bowel disease; and wherein
said method comprising the step of contacting a cell the proliferation of which contributes to inflammation in situ with an effective amount of a compound having the formula:
