The discovery, the lead optimization, and the structure-activity relationship of N,N′-disubstituted homopiperazines are reported. N,N′-Disubstituted homopiperazine derivatives have been discovered as CC-chemokine receptor 2b (CCR2b) inhibitors with submicromolar activity in the CCR2b binding assay. A 4-substituted benzyl group on one homopiperazine nitrogen was an important moiety for binding affinity to the CCR2b receptor. The SAR for CCR2b binding affinity correlated inversely with the σ factor of the functional group on this benzyl moiety. Introduction of hydroxy groups to appropriate positions in the 3,3-diphenylpropyl group on the other homopiperazine nitrogen increased CCR2b binding activity. The synthesis of an informer library to search for alternative substructures is also described.
