Optimization of a 7-azaindole-3-acetic acid CRTh2 receptor antagonist chemotype derived from high throughput screening furnished a highly selective compound NVP-QAV680 with low nM functional potency for inhibition of CRTh2 driven human eosinophil and Th2 lymphocyte activation in vitro. The molecule exhibited good oral bioavailability in the rat, combined with efficacy in rodent CRTh2-dependent mechanistic and allergic disease models and was suitable for clinical development.

Background: COVID-19 is a serious viral infection, which is often associated with a lethal outcome. Therefore, understanding mechanisms, which affect the immune response during SARS-CoV2 infection, are important.
Methods: To address this, we determined the number of T cells in peripheral blood derived from intensive care COVID-19 patients.

Objective: The objective of this article was to investigate how the metabolites produced by the intestinal flora regulate the transformation of ILC2s and intestinal immunity via the receptor Ffar2, which is sensitive to metabolites.
Materials And Methods: Forty male C57BL/6 mice with wild-type characteristics (6-7 weeks in age) and 20 FFAR2-/- mice were acquired from The Jackson Laboratory. The mice were kept in a controlled environment without any disease-causing agents, with the help of air conditioning and a 12-hour cycle of light and darkness.

Article Synopsis
- * In an experiment using wild-type and CRTH2-knockout mice sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) without an adjuvant, it was found that CRTH2 KO mice exhibited significantly reduced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and lower levels of eosinophils and type-2 cytokines in comparison to wild-type mice.
- * The study concludes that CRTH2 plays a critical role in the development of asthma responses in models of airway
