Danirixin (formerly known as GSK-1325756; GSK1325756) is a novel, potent small molecule CXCR2 antagonist being developed as a potential anti-inflammatory drug for COPD. It is a selective, high-affinity and reversible CXCR2 antagonist with IC50 of 12.5 nM for CXCL8. Danirixin, an oral CXCR2 antagonist, has been shown to inhibit agonist-induced neutrophil activation in a dose-dependent manner after single and repeated once-daily oral administration. This suggests that the drug may be useful in treating inflammatory diseases where neutrophils predominate. In many acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, there is an important role for excessive neutrophil activation and presence. One key player in regulating neutrophil extravasation and activation is the CXCR2 chemokine receptor. One possible strategy for decreasing neutrophil migration and activation is selective antagonistic action on the CXCR2 receptor.

Danirixin inhibits CD11b upregulation in rat and human whole-blood experiments measuring neutrophil activation by surface CD11b expression after CXCL2 (rat) or CXCL1 (human) challenge, with pIC50s of 6.05 and 6.3, respectively. With median effective doses (ED50s) of 1.4 and 16 mg/kg, respectively, daririxin administered orally also prevents the influx of neutrophils into the lung in vivo in rats after an aerosol lipopolysaccharide or ozone challenge[1].
Mouse LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) model: Intraperitoneal administration of Danirixin (1, 3, 10 mg/kg) 1 hour before LPS challenge dose-dependently reduced lung inflammation. It decreased BALF neutrophil counts (by 45%, 68%, 82%), MPO activity (by 40%, 65%, 78%), and lung tissue levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and CXCL1 (by 50–75% at 10 mg/kg). Histological analysis showed reduced alveolar edema and inflammatory cell infiltration [1] - Diet-induced obese (DIO) mouse model: Oral administration of Danirixin (10, 30 mg/kg, once daily for 12 weeks) improved glucose tolerance (AUC reduced by 30% and 45%), increased insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR reduced by 35% and 50%), and reduced visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass (by 20% and 32%). It also decreased VAT inflammation, as evidenced by 40–55% lower infiltration of CD11b+F4/80+ macrophages and reduced levels of IL-6, TNF-α in VAT [4] - Rat carrageenan-induced paw edema model: Oral administration of Danirixin (3, 10, 30 mg/kg) 1 hour before carrageenan injection dose-dependently reduced paw edema (by 35%, 55%, 70%) and hyperalgesia (mechanical withdrawal threshold increased by 40%, 60%, 75% at 4 hours post-injection) [1] |

| Enzyme Assay |
It is a selective, high-affinity and reversible antagonist of CXCR2 with IC50 of 12.5 nM for CXCL8.
CXCR2/CXCR1 radioligand binding assay: Membranes from human CXCR2- or CXCR1-expressing HEK293 cells were suspended in binding buffer (Tris-HCl, MgCl₂, 0.1% BSA). Danirixin was serially diluted (0.001–1000 nM) and mixed with membranes and tritiated CXCL8. The mixture was incubated at 25°C for 120 minutes, then filtered through pre-wetted glass fiber filters to separate bound and free ligands. Radioactivity was measured by liquid scintillation counting, and Ki/IC₅₀ values were calculated via nonlinear regression analysis of displacement curves [1][3] - Calcium mobilization assay: CXCR2-expressing CHO cells were loaded with a calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye (Fura-2 AM) for 45 minutes at 37°C. Danirixin (0.001–100 nM) was preincubated with cells for 20 minutes, followed by stimulation with CXCL8 (10 nM). Fluorescence intensity (excitation 340/380 nm, emission 510 nm) was measured in real-time using a microplate reader, and IC₅₀ values were derived from dose-response curves [1] - Receptor selectivity assay: Membranes from cells expressing other chemokine receptors (CXCR3, CXCR4, CCR1, etc.) or GPCRs (5-HT receptors, adrenergic receptors) were prepared as described. Danirixin was tested at concentrations up to 10 μM, and binding affinity (Ki) was determined to assess selectivity [3] |

| Cell Assay |
Human neutrophil chemotaxis assay: Neutrophils were isolated from human peripheral blood by density gradient centrifugation and resuspended in RPMI 1640 medium. Danirixin (0.01–100 nM) was mixed with neutrophils, which were added to the upper chamber of a transwell insert (5 μm pore size). CXCL8, CXCL1, or CXCL5 (10 nM each) was added to the lower chamber, and the plate was incubated at 37°C with 5% CO₂ for 2 hours. Migrated neutrophils were counted using a hemocytometer, and inhibition rates were calculated relative to vehicle controls [1]
- Human adipocyte inflammation assay: Human visceral adipocytes were seeded in 6-well plates (2×10⁵ cells/well) and differentiated for 14 days. Cells were pretreated with Danirixin (1, 5, 10 μM) for 1 hour, then stimulated with LPS (1 μg/mL) for 24 hours. Total RNA was extracted to measure cytokine/chemokine mRNA levels by qPCR, and culture supernatants were collected to detect protein levels by ELISA. For signaling analysis, cells were lysed in RIPA buffer with inhibitors, and proteins were analyzed by western blot using antibodies against phospho-NF-κB p65, phospho-ERK1/2, total NF-κB p65, total ERK1/2, and GAPDH [5] - Neutrophil activation assay: Human neutrophils were pretreated with Danirixin (10 nM) for 15 minutes, then activated with TNF-α (10 ng/mL) for 30 minutes. Expression of CD11b (activation marker) was measured by flow cytometry, and superoxide anion production was detected by chemiluminescence [1] |

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Plasma protein binding: As determined by ultrafiltration, the plasma protein binding of Daniloxine was 95% in human plasma, 93% in rat plasma, and 94% in canine plasma [3]. Acute toxicity: In rats and dogs, the oral LD₅₀ was >300 mg/kg. In a 7-day acute study, no significant toxicity (convulsions, respiratory depression, weight loss, death) was observed at doses up to 150 mg/kg [2]. Subchronic toxicity: In a 28-day repeated oral administration study in rats (10, 30, 100 mg/kg/day), the compound did not cause significant changes in body weight, food intake, hematological parameters (erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets) or liver and kidney function (ALT, AST, creatinine, BUN). No histopathological abnormalities were found in major organs (liver, kidney, heart, lung, spleen) [2]
- Drug interactions: In vitro studies have shown that no inhibitory effect on cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP3A4) was observed at concentrations up to 10 μM [3] - No genotoxicity: At concentrations up to 100 μM, Daniroxine did not induce Ames test mutations or human lymphocyte chromosomal aberrations [2] |

| Additional Infomation |
Danirixin has been used in clinical trials for the treatment of viral diseases, nutritional status, lung diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and infections, respiratory syncytial virus, and basic scientific research. Danirixin is a potent, highly selective, orally bioavailable CXCR2 antagonist with weak cross-reactivity to CXCR1 and has been developed for the treatment of inflammatory and metabolic diseases [1][3]. Its core mechanism of action includes selectively competitively blocking CXCR2, inhibiting the binding of pro-inflammatory chemokines (CXCL1, CXCL5, CXCL8) and subsequent neutrophil recruitment/activation, and inhibiting pro-inflammatory signaling pathways (NF-κB, ERK1/2) in target tissues (lung, adipose tissue) [1][5]. Preclinical data support its potential therapeutic use in acute lung injury, obesity-related metabolic disorders (insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes), etc. Relieves inflammatory pain by reducing tissue inflammation and improving metabolic homeostasis [1][4] - This compound has good drug-like properties: high oral bioavailability (68-75% in preclinical animal models), long half-life (7.5-9.2 hours), target tissue distribution (lung, adipose tissue), low toxicity, and no significant risk of drug interaction [3] - The high selectivity of Danirixin for CXCR2 minimizes off-target effects on CXCR1 or other GPCRs, thereby reducing the risk of unintended immunomodulation [1][3]
