- Small molecule antagonists of the CCR2b receptor. Part 2: Discovery process and initial structure-activity relationships of diamine derivatives
-
A lead evolution process is described that utilized the SAR of a homopiperazine series for the discovery of alternative cyclic diamine derivatives as nanomolar inhibitors of the interaction between MCP-1 and the CCR2b receptor. Structure-activity relationships (SAR) of a weakly active class of CCR2b inhibitors were utilized to initiate a lead evolution program employing the Drug Discovery Engine. Several alternative structural series have been discovered that display nanomolar activity in the CCR2b binding and CCR2b-mediated chemotaxis assays.

- Cyclic amine derivatives and their use as drugs
-
A compound represented by the general formula (I), a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable C1-C6alkyl addition salt thereof, and their medical applications. These compounds inhibit the action of chemokines such as MIP-1α and/or MCP-1 on target cells, and are useful as therapeutic and/or preventative drugs in diseases, such as atheroclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and the like where blood monocytes and lymphocytes infiltrate into tissues.
