The recent crystal structures of CC chemokine receptors 2 and 9 (CCR2 and CCR9) have provided structural evidence for an allosteric, intracellular binding site. The high conservation of residues involved in this site suggests its presence in most chemokine receptors, including the close homologue CCR1. By using [3H]CCR2-RA-[R], a high-affinity, CCR2 intracellular ligand, we report an intracellular binding site in CCR1, where this radioligand also binds with high affinity. In addition, we report the synthesis and biological characterization of a series of pyrrolone derivatives for CCR1 and CCR2, which allowed us to identify several high-affinity intracellular ligands, including selective and potential multitarget antagonists. Evaluation of selected compounds in a functional [35S]GTPγS assay revealed that they act as inverse agonists in CCR1, providing a new manner of pharmacological modulation. Thus, this intracellular binding site enables the design of selective and multitarget inhibitors as a novel therapeutic approach.

A strategy for lead identification of new agonists of GPR109a, starting from known compounds shown to activate the receptor, is described. Early compound triage led to the formulation of a binding hypothesis and eventually to our focus on a series of pyrazole acid derivatives. Further elaboration of these compounds provided a series of 5,5-fused pyrazoles to be used as lead compounds for further optimization.

A series of 5-alkyl pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids were prepared and found to act as potent and selective agonists of the human GPCR, GPR109a, the high affinity nicotinic acid receptor. No activity was observed at the highly homologous low affinity niacin receptor, GPR109b. A further series of 4-fluoro-5-alkyl pyrazole-3-carboxylic acids were shown to display similar potency. One example from the series was shown to have improved properties in vivo compared to niacin.
