N, N '-Diarylureas were prepared, and the structure− activity relationship relative to the
CXCR2 receptor was examined. This led to the identification of a potent and highly selective
CXCR2 antagonist, which in addition was shown to be functionally active both in vitro
against human neutrophils and in vivo in rabbit models of ear edema and neutropenia.
