RESUMO
Herein we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel benzothiazoles based on a diaryl urea scaffold previously reported in some allosteric chemokine receptorâ 2 (CXCR2) inhibitors. From a library of 41 new compounds, 17 showed significant inhibition of CXCR2, with IC50 values less than 10â µm and selectivity over CXCR4. Our ADMET simulations suggest favorable drug-like properties for the active compounds. Importantly, we developed a predictive model that can distinguish active from inactive compounds; this will serve as a valuable tool to guide the design of optimized compounds to be evaluated in preclinical models.
