BX471，≥98% (HPLC)

BX471 has been used in chemotaxis assay to study the responses of HEK293 cells expressing human C-C motif chemokine receptor 1 (CCR1) to CC motif ligand 3 (CCL3)-induced cell migration.[1] It has also been used as a CCR1 inhibitor to assess the effects of CCR1 on the migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).[2]

 

BX471 blocks CCR1 and downregulates the mRNA expression of ICAM-1, P-selectin and E-selectin.[3] It decreases the inflammatory responses in sepsis,[3] prevents monocyte recruitment in inflammation sites in rheumatoid arthritis patients[4] and inhibits interstitial leukocyte recruitment and fibrosis in mouse model of lupus nephritis.[5]

BX471 is an orally active, CCR-1 specific antagonist. It displaces the endogenous CCR-1 ligands MIP-1a, RANTES and MCP-3 (Ki range 1-5 nM). BX471 inhibits CCR-1 effects in leukocytes, including calcium mobilization and migration.
