The discovery of a novel series of CXCR3 antagonists is described. Starting from an HTS positive, iterative optimization gave potent compounds (IC(50) 15 nM in a chemotaxis assay). The strategy employed to improve the metabolic stability of these derivatives is described.
本文描述了一类新型 CXCR3 拮抗剂的发现。从高通量筛选得到阳性结果开始,经过反复优化得到了活性很强的化合物(在趋化实验中的 IC50 为 15 nM)。本文还介绍了提高这类衍生物代谢稳定性所采用的策略。
