J Med Chem. 2014 Sep 25;57(18):7550-64. doi: 10.1021/jm5003167. Epub 2014 Sep 3.

Abstract

High-affinity, functionally potent, urea-based antagonists of CCR1 have been discovered. Modulation of PXR transactivation has revealed the selective and orally bioavailable CCR1 antagonist BMS-817399 (29), which entered clinical trials for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
