Design, synthesis and SAR study of novel trisubstituted pyrimidine amide derivatives as CCR4 antagonists.

ABSTRACT: The design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of some novel trisubstituted pyrimidine amide derivatives prepared as CCR4 antagonists are described. The activities of these compounds were evaluated by the CCR4-MDC chemotaxis inhibition assay. Compound 1, which we have previously reported as a potent antagonist of CCR4, was employed as the positive control. The results indicated that most of the synthesized compounds exhibited some chemotaxis inhibition activity against CCR4. Of these new compounds, compounds 6c, 12a and 12b, with IC₅₀ values of 0.064, 0.077 and 0.069 μM, respectively, showed higher or similar activity compared with compound 1 (IC₅₀ of 0.078 μM). These compounds provide a basis for further structural modifications. The systematic structure-activity relati
