CCR4 antagonist 2 (Compound 31) is a novel potent, orally bioavailable small molecule antagonists of CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) that inhibits Treg trafficking into the Tumor Microenvironment without suppressing the number of Treg in healthy tissues. CCR4 antagonist 2 (Compound 31) exhibits IC50 values of Ca2+flux and (chemotaxis) CTX are 40 nM and 70 nM, respectively.
GSK2239633 is a potent CC-chemokine receptor 4 antagonist with pIC50 of 7.9. The CC-chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) is thought potentially to play a critical role in asthma pathogenesis due to its ability to recruit type 2 T-helper lymphocytes to the inflamed airways. Therefore, CCR4 provides an excellent target for anti-inflammatory therapy.
