Description: CHEMOKINE RECEPTOR BINDING HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS TECHNICAL FIELD This invention generally relates to novel compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and their use. This invention more specifically relates to novel heterocyclic compounds that bind to chemokine receptors, including CXCR4 and CCR5, and demonstrates protective effects against infection of target cells by a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Approximately 40 human chemokines have been described, that function, at least in part, by modulating a complex and overlapping set of biological activities important for the movement of lymphoid cells and extravasation and tissue infiltration of leukocytes in response to inciting agents (See, for example: P. Ponath, Exp. Opin. Invest. Drugs, 7:1-18, 1998). These cΛem tactic cyXokines, or chemokines, constitute a family of proteins, approximately 8-10 kDa in size. Chemokines appear to share a common structural motif, that consists of 4 conserved cysteines involved in maintaining tertiary structure. There are two major subfamilies of chemokines: the "CC" or β-chemokines and the "CXC" or α-chemokines. The receptors of these chemokines are classified based upon the chemokine that constitutes the receptor's natural ligand. Receptors of the β-chemokines are designated '"CCR"; while those of the α-chemokines are designated "CXCR". Chemokines are considered to be principal mediators in the initiation and maintenance of inflammation. More specifically, chemokines have been found to play an important role in the regulation of endothelial cell function, including proliferation, migration and differentiation during angiogenesis and re-endothelialization after injury (Gupta et al, J. Biolog. Chem., 7:4282-4287, 1998). Two specific chemokines have been implicated in the etiology of infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In most instances, HIV initially binds via its gpl20 envelope protein to the CD4 receptor of the target cell. A conformational change appears to take place in the gpl20 which results in its subsequent binding to a chemokine receptor, such as CCR-5 (Wyatt et al., Science, 280:1884-1888 (1998)). HIV-1 isolates arising subsequently in the infection bind to the CXCR-4 chemokine receptor. In view of the fact that the feline immunodeficiency virus, another related retrovirus, binds to a chemokine receptor without needing to bind first to the CD4 receptor, suggests that chemokine receptors may be the primordial obligate receptors for immunodeficiency retroviruses. Following the initial binding by HIV to CD4, virus-cell fusion results, which is mediated by members of the chemokine receptor family, with different members serving as fusion cofactors for macrophage-tropic (M-tropic) and T cell line-tropic (T-tropic) isolates of HIV- 1 (Carroll et al., Science, 276: 273-276 1997). During the course of infection within a patient, it appears that a majority of HIV particles shift from the M-tropic to the more aggressive T-tropic viral phenotype (Miedema et al, Immune. Rev., 140:35 (1994)) Curiously, the M-tropic viral phenotype correlates with the virus's ability to enter the cell following binding of the CCR-5 receptor, while the T-tropic viral phenotype correlates with viral entry into the cell following binding and membrane fusion with the CXCR-4 receptor. Clinically observations suggest that patients who possess genetic mutations in the CCR-5 or CXCR-4 appear resistant or less susceptible to HIV infection. However, the binding of chemokine receptors to their natural ligands appears to serve a more evolutionary and central role than only as mediators of HIV infection. The chemokine receptor, CXCR-4 has been found to be essential for the vascularization of the gastrointestinal tract (Tachibana et al, Nature, 393:591-594 (1998)) as well as haematopoiesis and cerebellar development (Zou et al, Nature, 393:591-594 (1998)). Interference with any of these important functions served by the binding of pre-B-cell growth-stimulating factor/stromal derived factor (PBSF/SDF-1) to the CXCR-4 chemokine receptor results in lethal deficiencies in vascular development, haematopoiesis and cardiogenesis. Similarly, fetal cerebellar development appears to rely upon the effective functioning of CXCR-4 in neuronal cell migration and patterning in the central nervous system. This G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor appears to play a critical role in ensuring the necessary patterns of migration of granule cells in the cerebellar anlage. In attempting to better understand the relationship between chemokines and their receptors, recent experiments to block the binding of HIV to the CXCR-4 chemokine receptor were carried out through the use of monoclonal antibodies or small molecules that appear to suggest a useful therapeutic strategy (Schols et al., J. Exp. Med. 186:1383-1388 (1997); Schols et al, Antiviral Research 35: 147-156 (1997)). Small molecules, such as bicyclams, appear to specifically interfere with the CXCR-4 binding and not CCR-5 binding (Donzella et al, Nature Medicine, 4:72-77 (1998)). These experiments demonstrated interference with HIV entry and membrane fusion into the target cell in vitro. Additional experiments monitoring the calcium flux or Ca 2+ mobilization assay demonstrated that a bicyclam also functioned as an antagonist to signal transduction resulting from the binding of stromal derived factor or SDF-lα, the natural chemokine to CXCR-4. SDF-1 has been shown to be essential for CXCR-4 dependent migration of human stem cell function in non-obese diabetic (NOD) severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice (Peled et al, Science 283: 845-848 (1998)). The role of CXCR-4 appears critical for migration to SDF-1 and localization of stem cells in bone marrow. U.S. Pat. No. 5,583,131, U.S. Pat. No. 5,698,546 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,817,807, which are herein incorporated in their entirety by reference, disclose cyclic compounds that are active against HIV-1 and HIV-2 in in vitro tests. It was subsequently discovered and further disclosed in copending application U.S. Serial No. 09/111,895 that these compounds exhibit anti-HIV activity by binding to the chemokine receptor CXCR4 expressed on the surface of certain cells of the immune system. This competitive binding thereby protects these target cells from infection by HIV which utilize the CXCR-4 receptor for entry. In addition, these compounds antagonize the binding, signaling and chemotactic effects of the natural CXC-chemokine for CXCR-4, stromal cell-derived factor lα (SDF-1). Additionally we have shown that these cyclic polyamine antiviral agents described in the above-mentioned patents have the effect of enhancing production of white blood cells as well as exhibiting antiviral properties. Thus, these agents are useful for controlling the side-effects of chemotherapy, enhancing the success of bone marrow transplantation, enhancing wound healing and burn treatment, as well as combating bacterial infections in leukemia. We further disclosed that these novel compounds demonstrate protective effects against HIV infection of target cells by binding in vitro to the CC-5 receptor (CCR-5). Herein, we disclose novel compounds that exhibit protective effects against HIV infection of target cells by binding to chemokine receptors, including CXCR4 and CCR5, in a similar manner to the previously disclosed macrocyclic compounds, (see Table 1 for comparative examples).

The novel compounds of the present invention may be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions that may be administered topically; percutaneously, including intravenously; orally; and by other standard routes of pharmaceutical administration to mammalian subjects as determined according to routine clinical practice. The compounds of the present invention are useful as agents demonstrating protective effects on target cells from HIV infection (Blanco et al, Antimicrob. Agts. and Chemother. 44: 51-56, 2000). The compounds of the present invention are may serve to interfere with the binding of natural ligands to chemokine receptors on a wide range of cell populations, including chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR5 as well as other chemokine receptors of the C-X-C and C-C motifs. The compounds of the present invention are considered further useful as antagonists or agonists of such chemokine receptors. Such chemokine antagnoist agents capable of interfering in the chemokine binding to its respective chemokine receptor would be useful to reconstitute the immune system by increasing the level of CD4 + cells (Biard-Piechaczyk, et al, Immunol. Lett., 70: 1-3 1999); as antagonist agents of apoptosis in immune cells, such as CD8 + cells (Herbin, et al, Nature 395: 189-193, 1998), and as antagonist agents of apoptosis in neuronal cells (Ohagen et al, J. of Virol, 73: 897-906, 1999; and Hesselgesser, et al., Curr. Biol.8: 595- 598, 1998). Chemokine receptor antagonist agents would be useful to inhibit the migration of human bone marrow B lineage cells to stromal-derived factor 1 (See, for example: E. Fedyk, et al, J. of Leukocyte Biol, 66:667-673, 1999), as well as other biological activities related to the ability of these compounds to inhibit the binding of chemokines to their respective receptors. Anti-HIV Assays. Compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit HIV-1 replication in MT-4 cells or PBMC's (peripheral blood mononucleocytes) using published procedures (for example, see: Labrosse et al. J. Virol. 1998, 6381-6388; Simmons et al. J. Virol 1998, 8453-8457; Donzella et al. Nature Medicine 1998, 72-77; Schols et al . J. Exp. Med. 1997, 1383-1388; De Clercq et al. Antiviral Res. 1997, 147-156; and Bridger et al. US Pat. Appl. 09/111,895). In addition to the above references, experimental methods for performing anti-viral assays can also be found in: Bridger et al. J. Med. Chem. 1995, 38, 366-378; Bridger et al J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 109-119; Bridger et al. US Pat. No. 5,698,546; Bridger et al. US Pat. No. 5,583,131; Bridger et al. US Pat. No. 5,817,807; De Clercq et al. Antimicrob. Agents and Chemother. 1994, 38, 668-674. These assays were considered representative of inhibition via binding to the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR5 respectively due to prior inhibition studies and the following inherent properties of the cells and viruses: 1. The HTV-1 strains NL4.3 and IIIB are T-tropic strains that exclusively use CXCR4 as the co-receptor for entry into cells. MT-4 Cells express CXCR4 but not CCR5. The HIV-1 strain BaL is M-tropic (macrophage tropic) strain that exclusively uses CCR5 as a co-receptor for entry into cells. PBMC's (from healthy donors) express all chemokine receptors including CXCR4 and CCR5. Prior mechanistic studies that characterize the direct interaction of 1,1 '-[1,4- phenylenebis(methylene)]bis-l ,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane octahydrochloride dihydrate (described in US Pat. No. 5,583,131) and related compounds with the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR5 can be found in references as cited supra. Preparation of starting materials and general procedures.

TABLE 1 Having now generally described the invention, the same will be more readily understood through reference to the following examples which are provided by way of illustration, and are not intended to be limiting of the present invention, unless specified. EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1 AMD7490: Preparation of N-(2-pyridinylmethyl)-N'-(6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H- cyclohepta[b]pyridin-9-yl)- 1 ,4-benzenedimethanamine (hydrobromide salt). General Procedure C: Deprotection of the 2-nitobenzenesulfonyl group (nosyl). To a stirred solution of the nosyl-protected amine (1 equivalent) in anhydrous CΗ 3 CN (or DMF) (concentration -0.05 M), at room temperature, was added thiophenol (4-8 equiv.) followed by powdered K 2 CO 3 (8-12 equivalents). The resulting bright yellow solution was stirred at room temperature (or 50 °C) for 1-24 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and CH2CI 2 (10 mL / mmol amine) and water (2 mL / mmol amine) were added to the residue. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with CH2CI2 (3 x 5 mL). The combined organic phases were dried (Na 2 SO ) and concentrated. Purification of the crude material by chromatography provided the free base. Alternative work-up: the reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated to provide a yellow oil which was purified by chromatography on basic alumina (eluant CH 2 CI 2 then 20:1 CH 2 CI 2 -CH 3 OH) and provided the free base as a colorless oil. To a stirred solution of AMD8812 (0.250 g, 0.448 mmol) in anhydrous CH 3 CN (9 mL) was added thiophenol (0.16 mL, 1.56 mmol) followed by powdered K2CO 3 (0.263 g, 1.90 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 50 °C overnight then cooled to room temperature. The mixture was filtered and concentrated to provide a yellow oil which was purified by column chromatography on basic alumina (CH 2 C1 2 then 20:1 CH 2 CI 2 -CH 3 OH) to give the free base as a colorless oil (0.071 g). General Procedure D: Salt formation using saturated HBr(g) in acetic acid. To a solution of the free base in glacial acetic acid (or dioxane) (2 mL) was added, a saturated solution of HBr(g) in acetic acid (or dioxane) (2 mL). A large volume of ether (25 mL) was then added to precipitate a solid, which was allowed to settle to the bottom of the flask and the supernatant solution was decanted. The solid was washed by decantation with ether (3 x 25 mL) and the remaining traces of solvent were removed under vacuum. For additional purification (where necessary), the solid can be dissolved in methanol and re-precipitated with a large volume of ether. Washing the solid with ether by decantation, followed by drying of the solid in vacuo (0.1 Torr) gave the desired compound. Using general procedure D: the free base from above (0.071 g, 0.19 mmol) gave AMD7490 (0.135 g). 1H NMR (D 2 O) δ 1.27-1.39 (m, IH), 1.66-2.14 (m, 4H); 2.22-2.31 (m, IH), 2.82-2.88 (m, 2H), 4.43 (d, 2H, 7= 4.5 Hz), 4.47 (s, 2H), 4.62 (s, 2H), 4.73 (dd, IH, 7= 10.8, 1.5 Hz), 7.37 (dd, 1H, 7= 5.0, 7.8 Hz), 7.59 (d, 2H, 7= 8.3 Hz), 7.65 (d, 2H, 7= 8.3 Hz), 7.73 (dd, IH, 7= 1.5, 7.5 Hz), 7.85 (d, IH, 7= 7.5 Hz), 7.90 (d, IH, 7= 8.4 Hz), 8.35 (td, 1H, 7= 7.8, 1.0 Hz), 8.45 (dd, 1H, 7= 1.5, 5.1 Hz), 8.37 (dd, 1H, 7= 1.0, 5.4 Hz); 13 C NMR (D 2 O) δ 26.18, 28.59, 30.21, 33.02, 48.82, 50.07, 51.41, 61.52, 124.41, 127.04 (2 carbons), 131.18 (2 carbons), 131.25 (2 carbons), 131.88, 133.35, 137.98, 139.70, 144.38, 145.59, 146.35, 147.38, 153.76.

The resultant solution was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours then poured into saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (20 mL). The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with CH 2 CI2 (3 x 20 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with water (2 x 10 mL), dried (Na2SO 4 ), and concentrated. Purification of the crude material by flash chromatography (silica gel (24 g), 30:1 CH 2 CI 2 -CH 3 OH) provided 0.270 g of a yellow foam.

The Skraup reaction of m-nitroaniline and glycerol in the presence of AS2O3 and H 2 SO afforded a 65:35 mixture of 5-nitroquinoline and 7-nitroquinoline, respectively, in a combined yield of 21%. This mixture (6.6 g, 38 mmol) was taken up in EtOAc (50 mL), placed in a 250 mL round-bottom flask, and flushed with nitrogen. Next, 10% Pd/C (0.6 g) was added and the mixture was placed under a hydrogen atmosphere (H2 balloon) and stirred vigorously for 18 h. The residue was filtered through a pad of celite, eluting with CHCI 3 (100 mL), and the solvent was removed in vacuo to afford 5.0 g of a 65:35 mixture of 5-aminoquinoline and 7-aminoquinoline, respectively (91% yield).

Stirring was continued for 1 h, at which point 4 N NaOH (50 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with CH2CI 2 (3x50 mL). The combined organic fractions were dried (MgSO 4 ) and concentrated in vacuo to give 6.5 g of a mixture of N-acetylated products (quant, yield). To a vigorously stirred solution of 5-(N-acetylamino)-quinoline and 7-(N- acetylamino)-quinoline (2.7 g, 14 mmol) in TFA (30 mL) in a 250 mL round-bottom flask under nitrogen was added Ptθ 2 (165 mg, 0.72 mmol).

The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was rendered basic with a minimum volume of 4 Ν ΝaOH and extracted with CHCI 3 (3x50 mL), and the combined extracts were dried (MgSO ) and concentrated in vacuo.

EXAMPLE 93 Methods for parallel solution phase combinatorial synthesis of analogs from the following intermediates: N-(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)-N,N'-bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)-l,4-benzenedimethanamine. N-(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)-N, N'-bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)- 1 ,3-benzenedimethanamine. N-(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)-N-(2-pyridinylmethyl)-N'-[2-(2-pyridinyl)ethyl]-l,4- benzenedimethanamine. N-(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)-N-(2-pyridinylmethyl)-N'-[2-(2-pyridinyl)ethyl]-l,3- benzenedimethanamine . Target compounds were prepared by parallel solution phase combinatorial synthesis via a two-step procedure, (a) Reaction of the intermediate amines from above (0.45 mmol scale) with commercially available aldehydes and ketones and sodium cyanoborohydride in methanol; (b) deprotection of the 2-nitroben-zenesulfonyl group by reaction of the intermediate from step (a) with thiophenol and DBU in DMF; (c) purification. Step (a): Reductive amination Procedure (0.45 mmol). Reaction: 0.5 mmol (1.11 eq.) of aldehyde or ketone was weighed into a 20 mL scintillation vial containing a small amount of activated molecular sieve. 0.5 mL of 0.9M solution (1.0 eq.) of intermediate amine (in MeOH ) was added, followed by 1 mL of a 0.6M solution of sodium cyanoborohydride in MeOH (1.33 eq.). The reaction was then diluted to 4 mL with MeOH. Finally, 0.5 mL of 1M acetic acid (in MeOH) was added. The reaction mixture was shaken (on an orbital shaker) for 48 hours. Work-up: 0.5 mL of 1M sodium borohydride (in MeOH) was added to convert any unreacted carbonyl to the corresponding alcohol. After 15 min., the reaction was quenched with 4 mL of 2N HC1. The reaction mixture was shaken in a fume hood for 15 minutes. 2 mL of 7N NaOH was then added, followed by 5 mL of methylene chloride. After shaking for 20 minutes the organic layer was separated and evaporated (ambient temperature vacuum centrifuge for 4 hours). Alternative reductive amination procedure. This procedure was used with all aldehydes that incorporated a pyrrole, indole, benzimidazole or imidazole functionality (0.45mmol scale). Reaction: 0.9 mmol (2.0 eq.) of aldehyde was weighed into a 20 mL scintillation vial containing a small amount of activated molecular sieve. 0.5 mL of 0.9M solution (1.0 eq.) of the intermediate amine (in trimethylorthoformate) was added. A further 2.5 mL of triethylortho formate was added and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. Solid sodium cyanoborohydride was then added (2.25 mmol, 5 eq.) followed by 0.05 mL of acetic acid, and the mixture was shaken for 48 hours. Work-up: 0.5 mL of 1M sodium borohydride (in MeOH) was added to convert any unreacted carbonyl compound to the corresponding alcohol. After 30 minutes the reaction was quenched by slow addition of 2N HC1 (3 mL). The reaction mixture was shaken in a fume hood for 15 minutes. 2 mL of 7N NaOH was added followed by 5 mL of methylene chloride. After shaking for 20 minutes the organic layer was separated and evaporated (ambient temperature vacuum centrifuge for 4 hours). The reaction products were deprotected without further purification. Step B: Deprotection of the 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl group Reaction: 1.5 mmol (3.33 eq.) of DBU and 0.75 mmol (1.67 eq.) of thiophenol were dissolved in 2.5 mL DMF were added to each crude reaction product and stirred at room temperature for 14 hours. Work-up: 2 mL of water and 2 mL of methylene chloride were added to the mixture and shaken for 20 minutes. The organic layer was separated into 4 equal parts in 1 dram vials and evaporated (ambient temperature vacuum centrifuge for 20 hours). Two methods were used to purify the samples: Step C: Purification by parallel preparative HPLC. 3 of the four 1 dram vials for each sample were purified by high-throughput preparative HPLC parallel purification process using a Biotage Parallex instrument. The crude, de-protected material was dissolved in 1 mL of a mixture of 65:35 DMF/water. The 1 mL solution was loaded into the injection loop of the HPLC which already contained starting eluent (water/acetonitrile, 90/10). A 100 x 20 mm YMC C18 120 A column was used and fractions were collected by monitoring at 254 and 307 nm. A gradient of 90/10 H 2 O/CH 3 CN to 100% CH 3 CN over 8 minutes at a flow rate of 35 mL/minute was used. Each run was followed by a 3 minute equilabration/wash with 50/50 H 2 O/CH 3 CN. Each fraction was analyzed by ES FI-MS for the target compound, and the purity of fractions containing the desired products were determined by LC-MS. Step C: Purification by traditional preparative HPLC. One vial each of the crude products were purified on a Waters 600 Delta Prep instrument. The crude de-protected material was dissolved in 80:20 methylene chloride/ MeOH at a concentration of ca. 75 mg/100 μL. The 100 μL sample was injected onto a 100 x 20 mm YMC C18 120A column, and fractions were collected by UV monitoring at 254 nm and a 8% threshold trigger. Flow rate 10 mL/min; gradient of 80/20 H 2 O/CH 3 CN to 100% CH 3 CN over 20 minutes, isocratic at 100% CH 3 CN from 20-30 min, then back to 80/20 from 30-36 minutes. Each fraction was analyzed by ES FI-MS and %purity of fractions containing desired product was further determined by LC-MS. Products exhibiting a sample purity of greater then 90% by LC-MS were considered suitable for testing.

Step A: Reaction: To the pre-weighed amine intermediate from above (0.5 mmol) and the aldehyde or ketone (1.5 equiv.) was added MeOΗ (5 mL), acetic acid (0.1 mL) and molecular sieves and the reaction vial was shaken for 12 hours. Sodium cyanoborohydride (1.5 equiv.) was then added and the reaction vial was shaken for 96 hours. Work-up: To the vial is added, 2N NaOΗ (2 mL) and the solution is extracted with CΗ 2 CI 2 (3 x 5 mL) with shaking for 30 mins and separation of the organic phases, followed by evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure (speed vac). Step B: The intermediate from above is reacted with thiophenol (5.0 equiv.) and powdered potassium carbonate (8.0 equiv.) in acetonitrile (10 mL) with shaking for 4 hours. The solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure (Savant Speed Vac Plus: SC210A) for 12 hours at room temperature. Dichloromethane (5 mL) and water (5 mL) were then added to the residue, the phases were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH 2 CI 2 (2 x 5 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with brine (5 mL) and evaporated under reduced pressure (Savant Speed Vac Plus) for 24 hours at room temperature. The crude reaction products were analyzed by HPLC with multiple post-column detection: positive mode electrospray MS (API 150MCA), UV at 254 nm and evaporative light scattering (ELS).

192 96-well plating procedure Solutions of test compounds (20 μM) were prepared in acetonitrile/methanol (1 :1) using a pump dispenser. 5 μmoles of each compound were then dispensed into a single well of a Costar 96-well plate by a Packard Multiprobe II-Ex Robotoc liquid handling system. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure on a Savant Speed Vac for 12 hours at room temperature. EXAMPLE 193 Inhibition of chemokine induced Ca flux measured on a FLIPR (Molecular Devices) Reagents: Loading dye: Fluo-3, AM (Molecular Probes F-1241) is dissolved in anhydrous DMSO and stored frozen in aliquots. To increase the solubility of the dye in the loading medium, 10% (w/v) pluronic acid (Molecular Probes F-127) is added to the Fluo-3 stock solution immediately before use. Flux buffer: HBSS + 20 mM Hepes buffer + 0.2 % BSA, pH 7.4. HBSS lOx [(w/o phenol red and sodium bicarbonate (Gibco 14 065-049)]; Hepes buffer IM (Gibco 15 630-056), BSA (Sigma A3675). The flux buffer is vacuum-filtered and stored refrigerated for a maximum of 5 days. Before use in the experiment, the buffer is warmed at 37 °C in a waterbath. Antagonists: The test compounds were diluted in flux buffer and added to 4 wells of a black microplate (4 parallel measurements per compound). The following control wells were used: 100% response control (no inhibition), flux buffer was added; 100% inhibition control: chemokine was added at 5-times the concentration required to induce a Ca flux. Preparation of the agonist (chemokine) plate The chemokines are diluted in flux buffer to concentrations that are 4-fold higher than the desired concentrations required for stimulation of the cells (i.e. 2.5 nM for SDF- lα and 0.6 nM for RANTES). The chemokines were added to untreated 96-well Sero well compound plates (International Medical, Sterilin code 611F96). In the negative control well's (baseline monitoring), flux buffer is added instead of chemokine. As a positive control to check for dye loading efficiency, 20 μM digitonin (final concentration) was also included. The agonist plate was incubated in the FLIPR (37 °C) for 15-30 min. Cell loading protocol for measuring inhibition of SDF-lα induced Ca flux in SUP-T1 cells. SUP-T1 cells were centrifiiged at room temperature (RT) and re-suspended in loading medium (RPMI-1640 containing 2% FBS and 4 μM Fluo-3, AM). The cells were incubate at room temperature for 45 min. then washed twice in flux buffer then incubated in flux buffer at room teperature for 10 min. The cells were centrifiiged and re-suspended in flux buffer at a density of 3x10 6 cells per mL. A 100 μL aliquot of the cell suspension (3 x 10 5 cells) was added to each well of a black microplate (Costar 3603), which already contains 50 μL of a solution of the test compound (at concentrations that are 3-fold higher than the desired final compound concentrations). The microplate is then gently centrifiiged at room temperature. Homogeneous spreading of the cells on the bottom of the microplate wells was then confirmed with a microscope and the microplate was incubated in the FLIPR (37 °C) for 10 min. prior to testing. Fluorescence measurements as a function of time on the FLIPR The FLIPR settings (camera exposure time and laser power) are adjusted to obtain initial fluorescence values between 8,000 and 10,000 units. After monitoring a 20 second- baseline, the agonist (chemokine) (50 μL) is added by automatic pipettor with black pipette tips. Fluorescence is measured simultaneously in all wells of the microplate every 2 seconds (first 2 min) and thereafter every 6 seconds (additional 2 min). The average ca- flux measured in each set of 4 identical wells (one test compound) was calculated by the FLIPR software. The compounds of the current invention were tested for inhibition of SDF-lα induced Ca flux in SUP-T1 cells using the method described above. The following compounds inhibited SDF-lα induced Ca flux greater than 20% at 20 μg/mL: Example numbers: 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 23 (both isomers), 24, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 35, 37, 41, 43, 45, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 55, 60, 66, 72, 73, 75, 76, 77, 79, 82, 84, 85, 86, 88, 89, 92, The following compounds inhibited SDF-lα induced Ca flux greater than 20% at 20 μM: Example numbers: 97, 98, 129, 130, 131, 133, 135, 136, 142, 145, 146, 147, 150, 160, 164, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 172, 177, 178, 180, 182, 183, 184. EXAMPLE 194 Cell loading protocol for measuring inhibition of RANTES induced Ca flux in U87.CCR5 cells. U87.CCR5 cells were seeded into the black microplates (Costar 3603) on the day before the experiment. The culture medium was removed from the cells and 100 μL of loading medium (DMEM + 10% FBS + 4 μM Fluo-3, AM) was added to each well and the plate was incubate at 37 °C for 45 min. The loading medium was then removed an the cells were washed twice with flux buffer using the CELLWASH microplate washer (Labsystems) followed by incubation in flux buffer for 10 min. at room temperature (the washing procedure was repeated twice). Finally, the wash buffer was removed from the microplate wells and 150 μL of the test compound, diluted in flux buffer to the desired concentration. The microplate was then incubated in the FLIPR drawer for 10 min. prior to testing. Measurements were performed as described above.

Chem. 1995, 38, 366-378). Anti- HIV activity and cytotoxicity measurements were carried out in parallel. They were based on the viability of MT-4 cells that had been infected with HTV in the presence of various concentrations of the test compounds. After the MT-4 cells were allowed to proliferate for 5 days, the number of viable cells was quantified by a tetrazolium-based colorimetric 3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) procedure in 96-well microtrays. In all of these assays, viral input (viral multiplicity of infection, MOI) was 0.01, or 100 times the 50% cell culture infective dose (CCID 5 0). The EC 50 was defined as the concentration required to protect 50% of the virus-infected cells against viral cytopathicity.
