| pubmed-article:17459706 | pubmed:abstractText | A novel series of cyclobutenedione centered C(4)-alkyl substituted furanyl analogs was developed as potent CXCR2 and CXCR1 antagonists. Compound 16 exhibits potent inhibitory activities against IL-8 binding to the receptors (CXCR2 Ki=1 nM, IC(50)=1.3 nM; CXCR1 Ki=3 nM, IC(50)=7.3 nM), and demonstrates potent inhibition against both Gro-alpha and IL-8 induced hPMN migration (chemotaxis: CXCR2 IC(50)=0.5 nM, CXCR1 IC(50)=37 nM). In addition, 16 has shown good oral pharmacokinetic profiles in rat, mouse, monkey, and dog. | lld:pubmed |
