Design and synthesis of a library of chemokine antagonists

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 Nov 1;21(21):6249-52. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2011.09.013. Epub 2011 Sep 10.

Abstract

A library of chemokine antagonists has been synthesized using a combination of solid and solution-phase chemistry. Structures of known chemokine antagonists were used to produce a pharmacophore which served to guide monomer selection. Several combinations of monomers have resulted in providing novel chemokine antagonists which in some cases display dual chemokine receptor antagonism.
