Abstract
The invention provides compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use of certain compounds that are antagonists of the chemokine CXCR4 receptor for the treatment of proliferative conditions mediated by CXCR4 receptors or for the treatment of viral infections. The compounds provided interfere with the binding of SDF1 to the receptor. These compounds are particularly useful for treating or reducing the severity of hyperproliferative diseases by inhibiting metastasis, or for reducing entry of HIV in to a cell while not reducing the capacity of the stem cells to proliferate. The compounds may be useful for long term treatment regimes.
