| abstract |
Cenicriviroc (CVC) is an orally active antagonist of ligand binding to C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) and C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2). CVC blocks the binding of RANTES, MIP-1α, and MIP-1β to CCR5, and of MCP-1/CCL2 to CCR2. Methods of treating fibrosis and related conditions comprising co-administration of CVC with chemokine antagonists, FXR agonists, high dose vitamin E (> 400 iU/d), a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α) agonist, PPAR-γ agonist, and/or PPAR-δ agonist are provided herein. |
