Abstrakt: The human CC chemokine receptor 8 (CCR8) has been extensively pursued as target for the treatment of various inflammatory disorders. More recently, the importance of CCR8 in the tumor microenvironment has been demonstrated, spurring the interest in CCR8 antagonism as therapeutic strategy in immuno-oncology. On a previously described naphthalene sulfonamide with CCR8 antagonistic properties, the concept of isosterism was applied, leading to the discovery of novel CCR8 antagonists with IC 50 values in the nM range in both the CCL1 competition binding and CCR8 calcium mobilization assay. The excellent CCR8 antagonistic activity of the most potent congeners was rationalized by homology molecular modeling.
