Special ergolines efficiently inhibit the chemokine receptor CXCR3 in blood
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2011The structure-activity relationship of highly potent special ergolines which selectively block the chemokine receptor CXCR3 is reported. The most potent compounds showed IC(50) values below 10nM in both ligand binding and Ca(2+)-mobilization assays.

Lead identification of 2-iminobenzimidazole antagonists of the chemokine receptor CXCR3
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2008Modification of a 2-iminobenzimidazole series derived from an HTS hit resulted in compounds with improved in-vitro species selectivity. Incorporation of an 8-quinoline amide and conformational rigidification of an aliphatic tether furnished potent compounds suitable for further lead optimization.

Discovery of small molecule benzimidazole antagonists of the chemokine receptor CXCR3
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2008High-throughput screening identified a low molecular weight antagonist of CXCR3 displaying micromolar activity in a membrane filtration-binding assay. Systematic modification of the benzimidazole core and tethered acetophenone moiety established tractable SAR of analogs with improved physicochemical properties and sub-micromolar activity across both ...

Discovery and Characterization of Biased Allosteric Agonists of the Chemokine Receptor CXCR3
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2016In this work we report a design, synthesis, and detailed functional characterization of unique strongly biased allosteric agonists of CXCR3 that contain tetrahydroisoquinoline carboxamide cores. Compound 11 (FAUC1036) is the first strongly biased allosteric agonist of CXCR3 that selectively induces weak chemotaxis and leads to receptor internalization ...

Identification of CXCR3 receptor agonists in combinatorial small-molecule libraries
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2006In a high-throughput screen of four million compounds from combinatorial libraries for small-molecule modulators of the chemokine receptor CXCR3, two classes of receptor agonists, based on tetrahydroisoquinoline and piperidinyl diazepanone templates, were identified.

The expression of chemokine receptor CXCR3: relevance to disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis
Modern Rheumatology, 2003Abstract CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) is selectively expressed on T helper 1 (Th1) type T cells and has been shown to be responsible for Th1-dominant immune responses. In this study, we analyzed the expression of CXCR3 on peripheral blood T lymphocytes of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by FACS analysis using antihuman CXCR3 monoclonal ...
