Disclosed are compounds which bind VLA-4. Certain of these compounds also inhibit leukocyte adhesion and, in particular, 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.
本发明涉及一种能够结合VLA-4的化合物。其中一些化合物还能够抑制白细胞粘附,尤其是由VLA-4介导的白细胞粘附。这些化合物可用于治疗哺乳动物患者(例如人类)的炎症性疾病,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。这些化合物还可用于治疗多发性硬化等炎症性脑部疾病。
