Disclosed are compounds which bind VLA-4 and/or LPAM-1. Certain of these
compounds also inhibit leukocyte adhesion and, in particular, leukocyte
adhesion mediated by VLA-4 and/or LPAM-1. 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.
