1-{2-(DIPHENYL)AMINO-ETHYL}-PIPERIDINE-4-CARBOXYLIC ACID BENZYLAMIDE DERIVATIVES AND RELATED COMPOUNDS AS CCR5 AGONISTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF IMMUNE AND INFLAMMATORY DISEASES

摘要

The present invention relates to pharmaceutically active piperidine derivatives and their use as agonists of CC chemokine receptor activity, more specifically of CCR5 activity. Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines which play an important role in immune and inflammatory responses.
