Abstract

This report describes the first results of a rational hit-finding strategy to design novel small molecule antiinflammatory drugs targeting selectins, a family of three cellular adhesion molecules. Based on recent progress in understanding of molecular interaction between selectins and their natural ligands as well as progress in clinical development of synthetic antagonists like 1 (bimosiamose, TBC1269), this study was initiated to discover small ...
