Abstract:
SAR studies were conducted around lead compound 1 using high-throughput parallel solution and solid phase synthesis. Our lead optimization efforts led to the identification of several CCR2b antagonists with potent activity in both binding and functional assays Compound 71 CCR2b Binding IC(50) 3.2 nM; MCP-1-Induced Chemotaxis IC(50) 0.83 nM; Ca(2+) Flux IC(50) 7.5 nM].
