Spirocyclic compounds, potent CCR1 antagonists

Conformationally constrained spirocycles (17–23) and (31–36) were synthesised. In vitro data revealed that these compounds are CCR1 antagonists with sub-nanomolar potency. In a functional assay 22, 23 and 36 inhibited CCR1 mediated chemotaxis with an IC50 value of 2, 2.6 and 68 nM, respectively.
