Disclosed are certain 3-(heteroaryl)alanine derivatives which bind VLA-4 and inhibit leukocyte adhesion mediated by VLA-4. Such compounds 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 compounds can also be administered for the treatment of inflammatory brain diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
本发明涉及某些3-(杂环芳基)丙
氨酸衍
生物,它们能够与V
LA-4结合并抑制由V
LA-4介导的白细胞粘附。这些化合物在哺乳动物患者,例如人类,如哮喘、阿尔茨海默病、动脉硬化、艾滋病痴呆、糖尿病、炎症性肠病、类风湿性关节炎、组织移植、肿瘤转移和心肌缺血等炎症性疾病的治疗中非常有用。这些化合物也可以用于治疗多发性硬化等炎症性脑部疾病。
