摘要:
Novel antagonists of the chemokine CXCL8 (also known as Interleukin-8) can be obtained by generating mutants having specific combinations of non-conservative substitutions of basic amino acids located in the C-terminal region. Compounds prepared in accordance with the present invention can be used to block CXCL8 activity in vivo, thereby providing therapeutic compositions for use in the treatment or prevention of CXCL8-related diseases.
摘要:
Variants of homodimer-forming chemokines, such as human CCL2, having a single amino acid substitution in the dimerization interface that alters the pattern of hydrogen bonds and acting as an obligate monomer, can antagonize natural chemokines and have anti-inflammatory activity in vivo. These variants can be used as active ingredient in pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune, or infectious diseases.
摘要:
A novel CXC-chemokine binding protein is cloned from the salivary glands of Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Compounds prepared in accordance with the present invention can be used as anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory compounds and in the treatment or prevention of CXC-chemokine-related diseases.
摘要:
A novel CC-chemokine binding protein is isolated from the saliva of Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Compounds prepared in accordance with the present invention can be used as anti-inflammatory compounds and in the treatment or prevention of CC-chemokine-related diseases.

摘要:
CC-Chemokine mutants having reduced Glycosaminoglycans (GAG)-binding properties are effective against liver fibrotic inflammatory and/or autoimmune diseases. Particularly preferred are the mutants of CCL5/RANTES having reduced GAG-binding properties.
摘要:
The use of a chemokine receptor antagonist together with a cyclosporin to produce a pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing rejection of transplanted organs, tissues or cells is herein disclosed. Said pharmaceutical compositions for the simultaneous, sepatate or sequential use of its active ingredients for the above specified therapy are also disclosed and claimed. In particular, the use of Met-RANTES together with cyclosporin A to produce a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of renal allograft transplant rejection is experimentally shown.
