Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Jan 1;19(1):114-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.11.008. Epub 2008 Nov 6.

Abstract

A series of N-arylpiperazine camphor sulfonamides was discovered as novel CXCR3 antagonists. The synthesis, structure-activity relationships, and optimization of the initial hit that resulted in the identification of potent and selective CXCR3 antagonists are described.
