Nicotinanilides as inhibitors of neutrophil chemotaxis

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Jun 3;12(11):1517-20. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00188-9.

Abstract

A series of 4-fluoronicotinanilides was synthesized and shown to be novel, potent, and selective inhibitors against GRO-alpha-driven human neutrophil chemotaxis. Compounds of this class may be useful for the treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune, and allergic disorders.
