Background
Ki: 1 nM to 5.5 nMThe CC chemokine receptor-1 (CCR1) is a prime therapeutic target for treating autoimmune diseases. BX 471 is a potent, selective, and orally active antagonist of the CC Chemokine Receptor-1.In vitro: Competition binding studies revealed that BX 471 was able to displace the CCR1 ligands macrophage inflammatory protein-1a, RANTES, and monocyte chemotactic protein-3 with high affinity. BX 471 was a potent functional antagonist based on its ability to inhibit plenty of CCR1-mediated effects. BX 471 also demonstrated a greater than 10,000-fold selectivity for CCR1 compared with 28 G-protein-coupled receptors [1]. In vivo: Pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated that BX 471 was orally active with a 60% bioavailability in dogs. Furthermore, in a rat experimental allergic encephalomyelitis model of multiple sclerosis, BX 471 effectively reduces disease [1]. Clinical trial: Up to now, BX 471 is still in the preclinical development stage.
