Abstract

The design and synthesis of novel non-peptide CXCR4 antagonists is described. The peptide backbone of highly potent cyclic peptide-based CXCR4 antagonists was entirely replaced by an indole framework, which was expected to reproduce the disposition of the key pharmacophores consistent with those of potential bioactive conformations of the original peptides. A structure-activity relationship study on a series of modified indoles identified novel small-molecule antagonists having three pharmacophore functional groups through the appropriate linkers.
