Disclosed are conjugates which bind VLA-4. Certain of these conjugates also inhibit leukocyte adhesion and, in particular, leukocyte adhesion mediated by VLA-4. Such conjugates are useful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in a mammalian patient, e.g., human, such as asthma, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, AIDS dementia, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, tissue transplantation, tumor metastasis and myocardial ischemia. The conjugates can also be administered for the treatment of inflammatory brain diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
揭示了结合V
LA-4的共轭物。其中某些共轭物还抑制白细胞粘附,特别是由V
LA-4介导的白细胞粘附。这些共轭物在哺乳动物患者(例如人类)的炎症性疾病治疗中非常有用,如哮喘、阿尔茨海默病、动脉硬化、艾滋病痴呆、糖尿病、炎性肠病、类风湿性关节炎、组织移植、肿瘤转移和心肌缺血。这些共轭物也可以用于治疗多发性硬化等炎症性脑疾病。
