Treating or preventing inflammatory processes and diseases in dogs associated with the activity of inducible cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2), while at the same time reducing or eliminating undesirable side effects associated with simultaneous inhibition of the activity of constitutive cyclo-oxygenase-1 (COX-1) by selectively inhibiting COX-2 activity with reference to COX-1 activity, wherein the selectivity ratio or COX-2:COX-1 activity inhibition is at least 3:1 based on ex vivo inhibition levels measured in whole blood; the inhibitor is a member selected from the group of anti-inflammatory compounds consisting essentially of salicylic acid derivatives, p-aminophenol derivatives, indole and indene acetic acids, heteroaryl acetic acids, arylpropionic acids, anthranilic acids, enolic acids, and alkanones; the inhibitor in particular is comprised of (+)(S)-enantiomer of 6-chloro-&agr;-methyl-9H-carbazole-2-acetic acid.

integrin ligands that display high binding affinity, specificity, and stability. The ligands comprise a peptide having n independently selected amino acids, wherein at least one amino acid is an unnatural amino acid or a D-amino acid, and wherein n is an integer of from 3 to 20. Methods are provided for administering the ligands for treating cancer, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases. Also provided are methods for administering the ligands for imaging a tumor, organ, or tissue in a subject.
