本发明涉及用于减少或控制炎症以及治疗由细胞间粘附介导的炎症性疾病过程和其他病理状况的组合物和方法。该发明的组合物包括选择性结合选择素受体的化合物,选择素结合活性由一种碳水化合物基团介导。本发明的选择素结合基团是脱乙酰乳糖胺单元的唾液酸化、富糖化的Lewis X 抗原的衍生物。本发明的化合物包括单价和多价形式中含有选择素结合基团的化合物。本发明的化合物作为药物组合物提供,例如携带本发明的选择素结合基团的脂质体。
The present invention is directed towards compositions and methods for reducing or controlling inflammation and for treating inflammatory disease processes and other pathological conditions mediated by intercellular adhesion. The compositions of the invention include compounds that selectively bind selectin receptors, the selectin binding activity being mediated by a carbohydrate moiety. The selectin-binding moieties of the invention are derivatives of a sialylated, fucosylated N-acetyllactosamine unit of the Lewis X antigen. Compounds containing a selectin-binding moiety in both monovalent and multivalent forms are included in the invention. The compounds of the invention are provided as pharmaceutical compositions which include, for example, liposomes that carry selectin-binding moieties of the invention.
