A series of nicotinamide N-oxides was synthesized and shown to be novel, potent, and selective antagonists of the CXCR2 receptor. Furthermore, these compounds showed significant functional activity against GRO-alpha-driven human neutrophil chemotaxis. Compounds of this class may be useful for the treatment of inflammatory, auto-immune, and allergic disorders.
