gro-2

CXCR2-IN-2 is a selective, brain penetrant, and orally bioavailable CXCR2 antagonist (IC50=5.2 nM 1 nM in β-arrestin assay CXCR2 Tango assay, respectively). CXCR2-IN-2 displays ~730-fold selectivity over CXCR1 and >1900-fold selectivity over all other chemokine receptors. CXCR2-IN-2 inhibits human whole blood Gro-α induced CD11b expression with an IC50 of 0.04 μM[1]. CXCR2-IN-2 (compound 68) (1-10 mg kg; p.o.; twice daily for 3 days) dose-dependently reduces neutrophil infiltration in vivo in rat and mouse air pouch models[1]. [1]. Lu H, et al.

(R,R)-CXCR2-IN-2, diastereoisomer of CXCR2-IN-2 (compound 68), is a brain penetrant CXCR2 antagonist with a pIC50 of 9 and 6.8 in the Tango assay and d in the HWB Gro-α induced CD11b expression assay, respectively[1].
