Abstract: Disclosed are compounds which bind VLA-4. Certain of these compounds also inhibit leukocyte adhesion and, in particular, leukocyte adhesion mediated by VLA-4. Such compounds are useful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in a mammalian patient, e.g., human, such as asthma, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, AIDS dementia, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, tissue transplantation, tumor metastasis and myocardial ischemia. The compounds can also be administered for the treatment of inflammatory brain diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a class of compounds (Formula I) including succinoyl amino pyrazoles, succinoyl amino thiadiazoles, succinoyl amino acid esters, succinoyl amino acid amides, succinoyl amino alcohols, succinoyl amino ketones, succinoyl amino hydantoins, succinoyl anilines, and succinoyl derivatives of privileged structures. The invention is also directed to a pharmaceutical formation comprising such compound in a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form or prodrug thereof. The invention is further directed to a method for inhibiting ?-amyloid peptide release and/or synthesis, a method for inhibiting ?-secretase activity and a method for treating neurological disorders associated with ?-amyloid peptide production. The method comprises administering to a host a pharmaceutical formulation comprising an effective amount of a compound of Formula I. The compounds of Formula I are useful in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: The application provides for methods and compositions for inhibiting demyelination, promoting remyelination and/or treating paralysis in a subject in need thereof. Preferably, such compositions include immunoglobulins (e.g., antibodies, antibody fragments, and recombinantly produced antibodies or fragments), polypeptides (e.g., soluble forms of the ligand proteins for integrins) and small molecules, which when administered in an effective amount inhibits demyelination and/or promotes remyelination in a patient. The compositions and methods described herein can also utilize other anti-inflammatory agents used to palliate conditions and diseases associated with demyelination.
