Abstract

This report describes replacement of the 4-(4-fluorophenyl) piperidine moiety in our CCR2 antagonists with 4-heteroaryl piperidine and 4-(carboxyphenyl)-piperidine subunits. Some of the resulting analogs retained potency in our CCR2 binding assay and had improved selectivity versus the IKr channel; poor selectivity against IKr had been a liability of earlier analogs in this series.
