The chemokine receptor CXCR3 is involved in various inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, and allograft rejection in transplantation patients. The CXCR3 ligands CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 are expressed at sites of inflammation, and they attract CXCR3-bearing lymphocytes, thus contributing to the inflammatory process. In this study, we characterize five nonpeptidergic compounds of different chemical classes that block the action of CXCL10 and CXCL11 at the human CXCR3, i.e., the 3H-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives N-1R-[3-(4-ethoxy-phenyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-yl]-ethyl-N-pyridin-3-ylmethyl-2-(4-fluoro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-acetamide (VUF10472/NBI-74330) and N-1R-[3-(4-ethoxy-phenyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-yl]-ethyl-N-pyridin-3-ylmethyl-2-(4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-acetamide (VUF10085/AMG-487), the 3H-quinazolin-4-one decanoic acid {1-[3-(4-cyano-phenyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-quinazolin-2-yl]-ethyl}-(2-dimethylamino-ethyl)-amide (VUF5834), the imidazolium compound 1,3-bis-[2-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-2-oxo-ethyl]-3H-imidazol-1-ium bromide (VUF10132), and the quaternary ammonium anilide N,N-dimethyl-N-[4-[[[2-(4-methylphenyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-8-yl]-carbonyl]amino]benzyl] tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-aminium chloride (TAK-779). To understand the action of these CXCR3 antagonists in various animal models of disease, the compounds were also tested at rat and mouse CXCR3, as well as at CXCR3 from rhesus macaque, which was cloned and characterized for the first time in this study. Except for TAK-779, all compounds show slightly lower affinity for rodent CXCR3 than for primate CXCR3. In addition, we have characterized the molecular mechanism of action of the various antagonists at the human CXCR3 receptor. All tested compounds act as noncompetitive antagonists at CXCR3. Moreover, this noncompetitive behavior is accompanied by inverse agonistic properties of all five compounds as determined on an identified constitutively active mutant of CXCR3, CXCR3 N3.35A. It is interesting to note that all compounds except TAK-779 act as full inverse agonists at CXCR3 N3.35A. TAK-779 shows weak partial inverse agonism at CXCR3 N3.35A, and it probably has a different mode of interaction with CXCR3 than the other two classes of small-molecule inverse agonists.
