Alkylsulfone-containing trisubstituted cyclohexanes as potent and bioavailable chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) antagonists
摘要:
We describe novel alkylsulfones as potent CCR2 antagonists with reduced hERG channel activity and improved pharmacokinetics over our previously described antagonists. Several of these new alkylsulfones have a profile that includes functional antagonism of CCR2, in vitro microsomal stability, and oral bioavailability. With this improved profile, we demonstrate that two of these antagonists, 2 and 12, are orally efficacious in an animal model of inflammatory recruitment. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
