Abstract

The optimization of a series of 1-aryl-3-piperidinyl urea derivatives is described in which incorporation of tropenyl and homotropenyl moieties has led to significant improvements in activity and drug-like properties. Replacement of the central piperidine with an exo-tropanyl unit led to the identification of compound 15 which provides a combination of excellent potency against human and murine receptors, drug-like properties and pharmacokinetics, thus providing a valuable tool for the evaluation of CXCR3 antagonists in models of human disease.
