Potent and selective CC-chemokine receptor-2 (CCR2) antagonists as a potential treatment for asthma

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Aug 1;17(15):4382-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.01.115. Epub 2007 Feb 8.

Abstract

A number of compounds bearing a quaternary ammonium moiety were found to be antagonists with nanomolar binding affinity for the chemokine receptor-2. The structure-activity relationships in the series are described herein along with some detailed characterization of the interesting compounds.
