Design, synthesis and structure-activity relationships of zwitterionic spirocyclic compounds as potent CCR1 antagonists

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2013 Jul 15;23(14):4026-30. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2013.05.087. Epub 2013 Jun 6.

Abstract

A series of zwitterionic spirocyclic compounds were synthesised. In vitro data revealed that these compounds were potent CCR1 antagonists. In particular, 2, 4, 11 and 20 inhibited CCR1 mediated chemotaxis of THP-1 cells in a functional assay.
