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:
The compounds of this invention having Angiotensin II receptor binding properties and thus useful in the treatment of hypertension are of the formula: ##STR1## wherein: X.sup.1 =H, lower alkyl, phenyl or naphthyl;X.sup.2 is X.sup.1, perfluoroalkyl or halogen;X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 together are --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --where n is 3-6;X.sup.3 =H, lower alkyl, perfluoroalkyl, perchloroalkyl or halogen;X.sup.4 =5-tetrazolyl, carboxy or cyano;X.sup.5 =H, lower alkoxy or halogen;and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
Abstract:
Polypeptides of the formula: ##STR1## in which X.sub.1 is Phe, D-Phe or C.sub.6 H.sub.5 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 CO--;X.sub.2 is Phe, Tyr, Trp, Met or Leu;X.sub.3 is Trp or D-Trp;X.sub.4 is Thr, Val, .alpha.-Abu or Phe;andX.sub.5 is Phe, D-Phe or --NHCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 C.sub.6 H.sub.5 ;the linear precursor intermediates thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and amides thereof are selective inhibitors of growth hormone release without materially altering blood serum levels of glucagon or insulin. In addition, the above-described compounds are active growth hormone suppressants for periods as long as two hours.
Abstract:
