The invention provides therapeutic and biological uses of chemokine-receptor-binding compounds (including chemokine receptor ligands such as chemokine receptor agonists or antagonists), such as naphthoic acid derivatives, including uses in the treatment of disease states mediated by chemokines. The relevant chemokine may for example be stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1, and the relevant chemokine receptors may for example be corresponding chemokine receptor (CXCR-4). In other aspects, the invention provides corresponding pharamaceutical compositions and therapeutic methods. In one aspect, for example, the invention provides for the use of 3-Hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid in the treatment of disease.
