摘要:
Ligands in the form of N-acetyllactosamines which bind to endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) are disclosed. The ligand compounds can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions and/or assay compositions used to alleviate inflammation and assay for the presence of (qualitative) and amount of (quantitative) ELAM-1 and thereby determine the presence, location and degree of inflammation.

Ligands in the form of N-acetyllactosamines which bind to endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) are disclosed. The ligand compounds can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions and/or assay compositions used to alleviate inflammation and assay for the presence of (qualitative) and amount of (quantitative) ELAM-1 and thereby determine the presence, location and degree of inflammation. The ligands are encompassed by general structural formula I as follows: ##STR1## wherein one of A and B is hydrogen and one is an N-acetyl neuraminic acid residue; D and E are each independently hydrogen or a fucose residue; n is an integer of from 0 to 10 with the proviso that if n is 0, E is a fucose residue; F is hydrogen, a lactosylceramide residue or a linking group; and molecules equivalent to a compound of formula I regarding its ability to bind to an ELAM-1 receptor to the same degree as a compound of formula I.

Ligands that bind to human selectin receptors are disclosed. The ligands are formulated with excipient carriers to form compositions which are administered to treated condition such as inflammation. The ligands have the structural formula III ##STR1## or molecules which have hydrogen bond donor groups equivalent to the circled groups with respect to their ability to form hydrogen bonds with a selectin under physiological conditions.
