Discovery and optimization of pyrazole amides as antagonists of CCR1.

A HTS screen for CCR1 antagonists afforded a novel sub-micromolar hit 5 containing a pyrazole core. In this report the design, optimization, and SAR of novel CCR1 antagonists based on a pyrazole core motif is presented. Optimization led to the advanced candidate compounds (S)-16q and (S)-16r with 250-fold improved CCR1 potency, excellent off-target selectivity and attractive drug-like properties.

Bioluminescent method for assaying multiple semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) family members in both 96- and 384-well formats.

Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1), also known as semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) or copper-containing amine oxidase (AOC3, EC 1.4.3.
