Disclosed are novel multi-binding compounds (agents) which bind cellular receptors. The compounds of this invention comprise a plurality of ligands each of which can bind to such cellular receptors thereby modulating the biological processes/functions thereof. Each of the ligands is covalently attached to a linker or linkers which may be the same of different to provide for the multi-binding compound. The linker is selected such that the multi-binding compound so constructed demonstrates increased modulation or disruption of the biological processes/functions of the cell. Also disclosed is a method for identifying such novel multi-binding compounds which bind cellular receptors and a method for generating a mixture of such novel multi-binding compounds.
本发明揭示了新型的多重结合化合物(试剂),其能够结合细胞受体。本发明的化合物包括多个配体,每个配体都能够结合到这些细胞受体上,从而调节其生物过程/功能。每个配体均与一个连接剂或连接剂共价结合,这些连接剂可以相同或不同,以提供多重结合化合物。所选择的连接剂使得所构建的多重结合化合物表现出对细胞生物过程/功能的增强调节或干扰。本发明还揭示了一种识别能够结合细胞受体的新型多重结合化合物的方法,以及一种生成这种新型多重结合化合物混合物的方法。
