Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for identifying and designing modulators of integrin-mediated cell-cell interactions through altering the interaction of ADAM 23 with &agr;v&bgr;3 integrin. Compositions and-methods are also provided for modulating integrin-mediated cell-cell interactions such as those involved in angiogenesis, induction of active metalloproteinases, tumor progression and neural tissue growth.

Abstract: The present invention concerns peptide fragments of angiostatin containing lysine-binding sites of angiostatin which can be used as anti-angiogenic agents for the treatment of cancer, diabetic retinopathy, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, atherosclerotic plaque formation, and any disease process that involves angiogenesis. The lysine binding fragments are derived from kringles 1,2 and/or 4 of plasminogen.

Abstract: Modified peptide fragments of plasminogen domain are provided which exhibit anti-angiogenic activity. Compositions containing these peptide fragments and methods of using these compositions to treat angiogenic dependent and associated disorders are also provided.

Abstract: Branched hydrazone linkers for linking a targeting ligand such as an antibody to a therapeutically active drug. The point of branching is at a polyvalent atom and the number of drugs increases by a factor of two for each generation of branching. A preferred drug is doxorubicin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions that inhibit the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells. The compositions contain a pre-activation domain (“PAD”) from plasminogen, or a biologically active fragment thereof, and at least one kringle region from plasminogen, or a biologically active portion thereof. The compositions are useful to treat angiogenic associated disorders.
