摘要:
Disclosed are peptides and peptide mimetics that bind selectins, including endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule 1 (ELAM-1). Such peptides and peptide mimetics are useful in methods for blocking adhesion of leukocytes to the selectins for the purpose of inhibiting inflammation as well as in diagnostic methods employing labeled peptides and peptide mimetics that bind selectins for the purpose of determining the site of inflammation in mammals which inflammation is mediated by the presence of one or more selectins.

摘要:
Compounds which enhance the efficiency of the corneal endothelial fluid pump thereby promoting normal corneal function and deturgescence of swollen corneas, and methods for the compounds' synthesis are described. In addition, surgical irrigating solutions which include one or more of the compounds are discussed along with methods for their use.

摘要:
Acyclic purine phosphonate nucleotide analogs useful to treat herpes viral infections are provided in enantiomerically pure form. These antiviral agents have the structural formula (Ia) or (Ib) ##STR1## and may be in acid, salt or ester form. Such compounds may also be dehydrated to provide antiviral agents in cyclic form. Pharmaceutical compositions are provided containing the antiviral agents, as is a chiral synthesis which may be used to prepare the agents in enantiomerically pure form or as a racemic mixture.
