Abstract:
Des analogues RXD non peptidiques inhibent des interactions moléculaires et cellulaires biologiques qui dépendent de la reconnaissance de RXD, X représentant l'un des restes d'amino acides G, E, Y, A ou F. En particulier les succédanés RGD n'ont pas de séquences d'amino acides alpha-naturels et comprennent un groupe guanidino et un groupe terminal carboxyle espacés par une chaîne de 11 atomes, dont au moins 5 sont des atomes de carbone. Les composés empêchent l'adhésion des cellules et sont utiles pour le traitement de divers états pathologiques, par exemple, la thrombose, les maladies autoimmunes, les métastases, les allergies, les réactions hôtes-greffes et empêchent la formation de tissu cicatriciel.
Abstract:
Oligosaccharides, and in particular disaccharides, which are degradation products of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan are effective for use in treating, inhibiting, or ameliorating the effects of injuries or diseases or disorders that result in or are caused by neuronal degeneration or of disorders resulting in mental and cognitive dysfunction.
Abstract:
Non-peptidic RXD analogues are provided that inhibit biological cellular and molecular interactions which are dependent on RXD recognition, wherein X is one of the amino acid residues G, E, Y, A or F. In particular, RGD surrogates are provided having no sequence of α-natural amino acids and comprising a guanidino and a carboxyl terminal groups spaced by a chain of 11 atoms, at least 5 of which are carbon atoms. The compounds inhibit cell adhesion and are useful for the treatment of several pathological disorders, e.g., thrombosis, autoimmune diseases, metastasis, allergy, host-graft reactions and inhibition of scar tissue formation.
Abstract:
Non-peptidic Leu-Asp-Val (LDV) surrogates of formula (I), wherein X1 to X5 are the same or different C, N, O or S atoms, at least two of them being C, and the X1-X5 chain may be optionally substituted by radicals selected from halogen, hydrocarbyl, oxo, thioxo, amino and carboxyl, or the X1-X5 chain or part thereof may form part of a heterocyclic ring, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, inhibit cellular or molecular interactions which depend on recognition of the LDV sequence, and are useful for the treatment of inflammation and disorders involving interference with cell-matrix or cell-cell dependent immune processes, such as autoimmune diseases and allergy, and inhibition of tumour progression and metastasis.
