Abstract

Design and synthesis of a series of 3-amino-4-(2-(2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-oxoethoxy)phenylamino)cyclobutenedione derivatives as novel CCR1 antagonists are described. Structure-activity relationship studies led to the identification of compound 22, which demonstrated potent binding activity, functional antagonism of CCR1 as well as good species cross-reactivity. In addition, compound 22 also showed desirable pharmacokinetic profiles and was selected for in vivo studies in the mouse collagen-induced arthritis model.
