摘要
The study of chemokine receptors and their ligands is a rapidly growing and intense area of research in drug discovery. There is now extensive evidence for the involvement of chemokines in many disease pathways, and thus continued research to discover small-molecule chemokine receptor antagonists for these targets is warranted. To date, there has been significant progress in the identification of small-molecule nanomolar chemokine antagonists that are bioavailable. It is extremely encouraging that this class of GPCRs can be antagonized with low-molecular-weight small organic compounds.
