A novel CCR2 antagonist inhibits atherogenesis in apoE deficient mice by achieving high receptor occupancy
Abstract CC Chemokine Receptor 2 (CCR2) and its endogenous ligand CCL2 are involved in a number of diseases, including atherosclerosis. Several CCR2 antagonists have been developed as potential therapeutic agents, however their in vivo clinical efficacy was limited. In this report, we aimed to deter...
