TAK-779 is a potent, dual antagonist at chemokine receptors C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) and C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) with IC50 = 1.4 nM at CCR5 and 2.3 nM at CCR2. Antagonists of both CCR2 and CCR5 such as TAK-779 have been investigated for treatment of viruses, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. CCR5 is particularly targeted for anti-HIV therapy, since HIV entry into cells requires chemokine coreceptors CCR5 and C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4).
