Abstract
Compounds and methods are provided for decreasing demyelinating inflammatory disease in a subject by inhibiting the activity of chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1). In some embodiments such methods include treating demyelinating inflammatory disease in a subject by administering an agent that antagonizes the activity of chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) and/or a CMKLR1 ligand (e.g., chemerin or other endogenous CMKLR1 ligands). Candidate compounds include, without limitation, analogs and variants of 2-(alpha-naphthoyl)ethyltrimethylammonium iodide.
