摘要:
The present invention describes cyclic peptide compounds which modulate integrin mediated adhesion. These compounds can inhibit both .beta..sub.1 and .beta..sub.2 mediated adhesion. The invention further relates to therapeutic uses for these compounds in the treatment of adhesion related pathologies.
摘要:
The compounds of the invention are modified forms of therapeutic agents. A typical prodrug compound of the invention comprises a therapeutic agent, an oligopeptide, a stabilizing group and, optionally, a linker group. The prodrug is cleavable by the CD10 enzyme. Methods of treatment using the prodrug and methods of designing a prodrug are also disclosed.
