<p>The invention relates to methods for the discovery of new chemical entities and pharmaceutical compositions with broad-spectrum chemokine inhibitor (BSCI) activity, together with the use of such agents as anti-inflammatory medicaments. In one aspect, there is provided a method for the identification of a compound or agent with BSCI activity comprising the steps of (a) firstly one or more candidate compounds or agents are screened for binding to a somatostatin receptor such as the type 2 somatostatin receptor (sstr2); then (b) compounds or agents which show binding to the somatostatin receptor are tested for BSCI activity in a functional assay.</p> |
