Application

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. It has also been used as a CCR1 inhibitor to assess the effects of CCR1 on the migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.

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