Abstract: Exocyclic peptide mimetics that disable Fas were developed. A three dimensional model of the Fas receptor-ligand complex was constructed and structurally predicted regions of the receptor that were relevant to binding ligand were used to create constrained peptide mimetics. Exocyclic anti-Fas peptide mimetics were identified that block Fas receptor-ligand interactions, and modulate Fas biological activity both in vitro and in vivo. The mimetics are useful, e.g., for treating Fas-related pathologies.

Abstract: This invention is in the fields of immunology and autoimmunity. More particularly it concerns methods of treating patients with compounds which are useful agents for inhibiting the functions of TIP60 in the treatment of an individual suffering, for example, from ulcerative colitis and other irritable bowel diseases.
