Pharmacological approaches on CXCR2 in humans.

Intervention Model Results Reference

DF 2156A Human leukocytes, human umbilical vein cells, ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats(i) Decreased monocyte and PMN infiltration
(ii) Reduced TNFα
(iii) Attenuated proliferation,
migration and capillary-like organization of human umbilical vein endothelial cells
[39]
Sch527123 Human neutrophils(i) Inhibited neutrophil chemotaxis
(ii) Inhibited myeloperoxidase release
[45]
Sch527123 Ozone-induced neutrophil recruitment in humans(i) Lower sputum neutrophil count [46]
SB-65933*Ozone-induced airway inflammation in humans(i) Lower neutrophil activation and recruitment[47]

*Selective for CXCR2, the other pharmacologic agents also inhibit CXCR1.
