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:
Disclosed are certain 3-(heteroaryl)alanine derivatives which bind VLA-4 and inhibit 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.

Abstract:
Octapeptide derivatives of Met- and Leu-enkephalin C-terminally modified by addition of L-Lys-Gly-L-Glu-OH or L-Lys-Gly-L-Gln-OH release endogenous growth hormone without analgesia or side effects elicited by the enkephalins or morphine.
Abstract:
