ccr2 antagonist 4

CCR2 antagonist 4 (Teijin compound 1) is a potent and specific CCR2 antagonist with IC50 values of 180 nM and 24 nM for CCR2 inhibition and MCP-1-induced chemotaxis inhibition, respectively.

CCR2 antagonist 4 hydrochloride is a specific CCR2 antagonist (IC50s: 180 nM for CCR2b). It potently inhibits MCP-1-induced chemotaxis (IC50: 24 nM).

Emestrin, a mycotoxin originally isolated from *E. striata*, exhibits antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and cytotoxic activities. It is effective against fungi *C. albicans* and *C. neoformans*, and bacteria *E. coli*, *S. aureus*, and methicillin-resistant *S. aureus* (MRSA; IC50s = 3.94, 0.6, 2.21, 4.55, and 2.21 μg ml, respectively). Emestrin acts as a chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 2 (CCR2) antagonist (IC50 = 5.4 μM in a radioligand binding assay using isolated human monocytes). At 0.1 μg ml, it induces apoptosis in HL-60 cells and causes necrosis in heart, thymus, and liver tissues in mice at doses of 18-30 mg kg.
