A series of low molecular weight antagonists of both the human and murine CC chemokine receptor 2, containing a 1-alkyl-3-(3-methyl-4-spiroindenylpiperidine)-substituted cyclopentanecarboxamide, is described. A SAR study of the C1 substituent revealed that short, branched alkyl groups such as isopropyl, isobutyl, or cyclopropyl are optimal for both human and murine CCR2 binding activity.
