The present invention generally relates to the design, preparation, derivation, and use of mimetics of CXC chemokines (CXCL1-CXCL17) in the prevention, treatment, and ameliorization of a wide variety of diseases and disorders. Generally speaking, this invention is directed to the design, synthesis, and use of chemokine analogs which bind to CXC chemokine receptors CXCR1-CXCR7, such that the analogs can be designed to affect the activity of the receptor, either as an agonist or an antagonist. The analogs can be useful for treating a wide variety of diseases and disorders, and can also serve as an adjunct to the treatment of a variety of diseases and disorders. |
