The cytokine MIF is involved in inflammation and cell proliferation via pathways initiated by its binding to the transmembrane receptor CD74. MIF also exhibits keto-enol tautomerase activity, believed to be vestigial in mammals. Starting from a 1 mu M hit from virtual screening, substituted benzoxazol-2-ones have been discovered as antagonists with IC50 values as low as 7.5 nM in a tautomerase assay and 80 nM in a MIF-CD74 binding assay. Additional studies for one of the potent inhibitors demonstrated that it is not a covalent inhibitor of MIF and that it attenuates MIF-dependent ERK1/2 phosphorylation in human synovial fibroblasts.

The invention relates to methods for treating traumatic brain injury by targeting specific innate and adaptive immune responses generated after the injury. The specific innate and adaptive immune responses may be targeted, for instance, using CLIP inhibitors, MIF antagonists and CD74 cleavage inhibitors and combinations thereof.
