Synonyms: DF 2755A | DF-2755A
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: DF2755A inhibits CXCL8 (IL-8) signalling via its endogenous chemokine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 [2]. It does not alter the binding affinity of CXCL8 for either receptor, indicating that it is behaving as a negative allosteric modulator (NAM). Activation of the IL-8 pathway has been linked to the development of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain. It is predicted that inhibition of this mechanism might offer clinical utility for cancer patients who experience chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy [1].
We show the carboxylic acid parent form for this compound, but DF2755A is used as the sodium salt. |
