  • Immunoregulatory agents
    Patent number: 5340829
    Abstract: Specific aspects of the cellular and humoral immune systems of a mammalian host are regulated by administering to the host a compound having a reactive immunoregulatory conformation whose precise three-dimensional structure is defined herein. Sorbinil, tolrestat, W-3681, and the other immunoregulatory agents described herein possess this reactive conformation and so are therapeutically useful for inhibiting delayed-type hypersensitivity, T-cell proliferation, and B-cell antibody production, without altering the normal cellularity of the immune system or the normal metabolites of the arachidonic acid pathway.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 15, 1992
    Date of Patent: August 23, 1994
    Assignee: Washington Research Foundation
    Inventors: John I. Clark, Andrew G. Farr, Stacia A. Smith
