32 results about "Ccr2 antagonist" patented technology

Compounds are provided that act as potent antagonists of the CCR2 receptor. Animal testing demonstrates that these compounds are useful for treating inflammation, a hallmark disease for CCR2. The compounds are generally aryl sulfonamide derivatives and are useful in pharmaceutical compositions, methods for the treatment of CCR2-mediated diseases, and as controls in assays for the identification of CCR2 antagonists.

Compounds are provided that act as potent antagonists of the CCR2 or CCR9 receptor. Animal testing demonstrates that these compounds are useful for treating inflammation, a hallmark disease for CCR2 and CCR9. The compounds are generally aryl sulfonamide derivatives and are useful in pharmaceutical compositions, methods for the treatment of CCR2-mediated diseases, CCR9-mediated diseases, as controls in assays for the identification of CCR2 antagonists and as controls in assays for the identification of CCR9 antagonists.

The innovation is directed to a method for treating a CCR5 and / or CCR2 mediated disease such as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) comprising administering an effective amount of a C—C Chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) antagonist (e.g., maraviroc or vicriviroc or cenicriviroc) and / or an effective amount of a C—C Chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) antagonist, or a CCR5 / CCR2 antagonist together with an effective amount of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist (e.g., obeticholic acid (OCA)). An “effective amount” can be a regular clinical dose of either agent alone or a reduced dose of the FXR receptor agonist and / or the CCR5 / CCR2 antagonist. The combination is effective to treat NASH with (1) enhanced efficacy and (2) substantial reduction of side effects, particularly those associated with administration of OCA or its analogues, namely less effect on liver enzyme elevation, and less severity and frequency of pruritus (3). The fixed dose combination provides for better efficacy and safety profile.
