The present invention provides novel compounds comprising peptide sequences which mimic the conserved amino acid motif LDTSL of MAdCAM-1 and which have groups bonded to the N- and C-termini. Also provided are methods of inhibiting the interaction of a cell bearing a ligand of MAdCAM-1, such as human &agr;4&bgr;7, with MAdCAM-1 or a portion thereof (e.g., the extracellular domain), comprising contacting the cell with a compound of the present invention.
本发明提供了包含肽序列的新型化合物,这些肽序列模拟 MAdCAM-1 的保守氨基酸基序 LDTSL,并在 N 端和 C 端键合有基团。本发明还提供了抑制带有 MAdCAM-1 配体(如人 &agr;4&bgr;7)的细胞与 MAdCAM-1 或其部分(如胞外结构域)相互作用的方法,包括使细胞与本发明的化合物接触。
