CCR5 receptor antagonists in preclinical to phase II clinical development for treatment of HIV [PDF]
The chemokine receptor CCR5 has garnered significant attention in recent years as a target to treat HIV infection largely due to the approval and success of the drug Maraviroc. The side effects and inefficiencies with other first generation agents led to failed clinical trials, prompting the development of newer CCR5 antagonists.

Effect of CCR5 receptor antagonists on endocytosis of the human CCR5 receptor in CHO‐K1 cells [PDF]
Background and purpose:The CCR5 chemokine receptor is a member of the G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) family that is expressed by macrophages, memory T‐lymphocytes and dendritic cells and is activated by chemotactic proteins (e.g. MIP‐1α [CCL3], MIP‐1β [CCL4] and RANTES [CCL5]).

The Discovery of Tropane-derived CCR5 Receptor Antagonists [PDF]
The development of compound 1, a piperidine‐based CCR5 receptor antagonist with Type I CYP2D6 inhibition, into the tropane‐derived analogue 5, is described. This compound, which is devoid of CYP2D6 liabilities, is a highly potent ligand for the CCR5 receptor and has broad‐spectrum activity against a range of clinically relevant HIV isolates.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 activation and dysregulation of amyloid transport receptors expression and shedding in HIV-induced Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology: modulatory effects of CCR5 antagonists [PDF]
Neurocognitive impairments occur in about 50% of HIV-infected humans and are associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-like brain pathologies, including increased amyloid-beta1-42(Aβ42) and phospho-Tau.

Preclinical systematic review of CCR5 antagonists as cerebroprotective and stroke recovery enhancing agents [PDF]
C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) antagonists may improve both acute stroke outcome and long-term recovery. Despite their evaluation in ongoing clinical trials, gaps remain in the evidence supporting their use.

CXCR4 mediated recognition of HIV envelope spike and inhibition by CXCL12 [PDF]
CCR5 and CXCR4 both act as HIV co-receptors, though CXCR4 is less explored. CXCR4 binds the chemokine CXCL12 to regulate cellular processes and mediate HIV entry, a process that CXCL12 inhibits.

The GHS-R Blocker D-[Lys3] GHRP-6 Serves as CCR5 Chemokine Receptor Antagonist [PDF]
[D-Lys3]-Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-6 (DLS) is widely utilized in vivo and in vitro as a selective ghrelin receptor (GHS-R) antagonist. This antagonist is one of the most common antagonists utilized in vivo to block GHS-R function and activity ...

Previous studies have demonstrated that HIV-1 develops resistance to CCR5 antagonists by gaining the ability to use drug-occupied co-receptor. However, the effects of CCR5 antagonists on the affinity of virus-co-receptor interactions have been difficult to quantify.
