Human cytomegalovirus ( HCMV) is a widespread human pathogen, possessing onco-modulatory properties. Constitutive signaling of the HCMV-encoded chemokine receptor US28 and its ability to bind a broad spectrum of chemokines might facilitate HCMV-associated tumor progression. Novel nonpeptidergic chemotypes were identified as neutral antagonists or inverse agonists on US28, that allosterically inhibit chemokine binding to US28. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
