<p>Methods for increasing blood flow and/or regenerating tissue using compounds which bind to the chemokine receptor CXCR4 are disclosed. Preferred embodiments of such compounds are of the formula Z-linker-Zâ¿¿) wherein Z is a cyclic polyamine containing 9-32 ring members of which 2-8 are nitrogen atoms, said nitrogen atoms separated from each other by at least 2 carbon atoms, and wherein said heterocycle may optionally contain additional heteroatoms besides nitrogen and/or may be fused to an additional ring system; or Z is of the formula (I) wherein A comprises a monocyclic or bicyclic fused ring system containing at least one N and B is H or an organic moiety of 1 -20 atoms; Z' may be embodied in a form as defined by Z above, or alternatively may be of the formula -N(R)-(CR2)n-X wherein each R is independently H or straight, branched or cyclic alkyl (1-6C), n is 1 or 2, and X is an aromatic ring, including heteroaromatic rings, or is a mercaptan; or Z<sup>1</sup> is of the formula -Ar(Y)j; wherein Ar is an aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety, and each Y is independently a non-interfering substituent and j is 0-3; "linker" represents a bond, alkylene (1-6C) or may comprise aryl, fused aryl, oxygen atoms contained in an alkylene chain, or may contain keto groups or nitrogen or sulfur atoms.</p> |
