General description

A tetrahydronaphthalenyl carboxamide compound that acts as a potent, specific and orally active C5a receptor antagonist. Shown to inhibit the binding of ¹²⁵I-rhC5a to human neutrophils with a K_i of 2.2 nM, as well as C5a-induced intracellular Ca²⁺-mobilization, chemotaxis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation (IC₅₀ = 3.1 nM, 2.7 nM and 1.6 nM, respectively) with no agonist activity up to 10 µM. Shown to prevent C5a-induced neutrophenia in gerbils (100 µg/kg i.v. or 3-30 mg/kg orally).
