  • Process for screening chemical compounds for modulating the interaction of an EVH1 domain and a process for detecting said interaction
    Patent number: 7563582
    Abstract: The invention relates to processes for identifying chemical compounds which are capable of modulating the interaction between VASP and zyxin. VASP or a VASP derivative and zyxin or a zyxin derivative which interact with one another are brought into contact with a chemical compound to be examined. The effect on the interaction can be determined using antibodies against VASP or a VASP derivative and/or zyxin or a zyxin derivative, or with the aid of fluorescent labels on VASP or a VASP derivative and zyxin or a zyxin derivative.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 21, 2009
    Assignee: sanofi-aventis Deutschland GmbH
    Inventors: Birgit Jordan, Peter Drückes, Thomas Jarchau, Ulrich Walter
  • Process for screening chemical compounds for modulating the interaction of an EVH1 domain or a protein having an EVH1 domain with an EVH1 binding domain or a protein having an EVH1 binding domain, and a process for detecting said interaction

  • Cyclohexapeptides and their mixtures, a process for preparing them, and their use
    Patent number: 6080719
    Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of the formula Icyclo(A-B-C-E-F-(D)-Ala) (I)in which A, B, C, E and F are each independently the residue of a natural amino acid other than cysteine (Cys) and tryptophan (Trp), their mixtures and their physiologically tolerated salts; to a process for their preparation and to their use for preparing a diagnostic agent, a medicament for the treatment or prophylaxis of allergies and infections, or a scientific tool for inhibiting the binding of interleukin-4 (IL-4) to the IL-4 receptor.
