Abstract

Structure-activity relationships (SAR) of a weakly active class of CCR2b inhibitors were utilized to initiate a lead evolution program employing the Drug Discovery Engine. Several alternative structural series have been discovered that display nanomolar activity in the CCR2b binding and CCR2b-mediated chemotaxis assays.
