Chalcone 4 (compound 1) is a small molecule that neutralizes the CXC chemokine CXCL12 and prevents it from acting on the CXCR4 and CXCR7 receptors. To overcome its poor solubility in aqueous buffers, we designed highly soluble analogues of compound 1, phosphate, L-seryl, and sulfate, all inactive by themselves on CXCL12 but when cleaved in vivo into 1, highly active locally at a low dose in a mouse airway hypereosinophilia model.
