Jørgensen et al. investigate the effects of the CXCR4 targeting agents, AMD3100 (Plerixafor) and AMD11070, and show that AMD3100, unlike AMD11070, is biased with intrinsic β-arrestin recruitment agonism and full G protein antagonism. They finally propose that this biased action of AMD3100 is central for its superior therapeutic effect on mobilizing stem cells.
