Uses
N-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)-N-[(8S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-8-quinolinyl]-1,4-butanediamine Monohydrochloride is a potent and selective antagonist of CXCR4. It is also an inhibitor of X4-tropic HIV virus.
Biological Activity
AMD070 (AMD11070) is an orally active, reversible and selective CXCR4 (CD184, fusin) antagonist (IC50 = 13 nM against 100 pM 125I-SDF-1α for binding human CD+/CXCR4+ CEM-CCRF cells) th at inhibits HIV-1 replication in cultures (IC50/host cells = 2 nM/MT-4 and 26 nM/PBMCs; T-tropic HIV-1NL4.3 strain) with no host cytotoxicity even at concentrations above 23 μM.
