Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of initial screening hits from our corporate library of compounds and a structurally related series of CCR1 receptor antagonists were used to determine that an N-(alkyl)benzylpiperidine is an essential pharmacophore for selective CCR3 antagonists. Further SAR studies that introduced N-(ureidoalkyl) substituents improved the binding potency of these compounds from the micromolar to the low nanomolar range. This new series of compounds also displays highly potent, in vitro functional CCR3-mediated antagonism of eotaxin-induced Ca2+ mobilization and chemotaxis of human eosinophils.

Ligands for the CCR1 receptor (MIP-1α and RANTES) have been implicated in a number of chronic inflammatory diseases, most notably multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Because these ligands share a common receptor, CCR1, we sought to discover antagonists for this receptor as an approach to treating these disorders. A novel series of 4-hydroxypiperidines has been discovered by high throughput screening (HTS) which potently inhibits the binding of MIP-1α and RANTES to the recombinant human CCR1 chemokine receptor. The structure-activity relationships of various segments of this template are described as the initial HTS lead 1 was optimized synthetically to the highly potent receptor antagonist 6s. This compound has been shown to have at least 200-fold selectivity for inhibition of CCR1 over other human 7- TM receptors, including other chemokine receptors. In addition, data obtained from in vitro functional assays demonstrate the functional antagonism of compound 6s and structurally related analogues against the CCR1 receptor in a concentration dependent manner. The discovery and optimization of potent and selective CCR1 receptor antagonists represented by compound 6s potentially represent a novel approach to the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases.
