Integrin α4β1 plays an important role in inflammatory processes by regulating the migration of lymphocytes into inflamed tissues. Here we evaluated the biochemical, pharmacological, and pharmacodynamic properties and efficacy in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model of multiple sclerosis, of two types of α4β1 inhibitors, the anti-rat α4 monoclonal antibody TA-2 and the small molecule inhibitor BIO5192 [2(S)-{[1(3,5-dichloro-benzenesulfonyl)-pyrrolidine-2(S)-carbonyl]-amino} 4-[4-methyl-2(S)-(methyl-{2-[4-(3-o-tolyl-ureido)-phenyl]-acetyl}amino)- pentanoylamino]-butyric acid]. TA-2 has been extensively studied in rats and provides a benchmark for assessing function. BIO5192 is a highly selective and potent (KD of 4β1. Dosing regimens were identified for both inhibitors, which provided full receptor occupancy during the duration of the study. Both inhibitors induced leukocytosis, an effect that was used as a pharmacodynamic marker of activity, and both were efficacious in the EAE model. Treatment with TA-2 caused a decrease in α4 integrin expression on the cell surface, which resulted from internalization of α4 integrin/TA-2 complexes. In contrast, BIO5192 did not modulate cell surface α4β1. Our results with BIO5192 indicate that α4β7 does not play a role in this model and that blockade of α4β1/ligand interactions without down-modulation is sufficient for efficacy in rat EAE. BIO5192 is highly selective and binds with high affinity to α4β1 from four of four species tested. These studies demonstrate that BIO5192, a novel, potent, and selective inhibitor of α4β1 integrin, will be a valuable reagent for assessing α4β1 biology and may provide a new therapeutic for treatment of human inflammatory diseases.

We reported earlier on the synthesis and biological activity at the CCK-B receptor of cyclized derivatives of CCK. These peptides, in which the positions 28 and 31 were replaced by lysine residues, were bridged by a succinyl moiety. To determine the importance of the nature and size of the cyclic structure, cyclic analogues were synthesized in which: (i) the lysine residues were replaced by ornithine and diaminobutyric acid and (ii) the succinic moiety was replaced by a malonic, adipic and glutaric moiety. They were tested For their ability to inhibit the specific binding of 125I-BH-CCK-8 to CCK receptors in rat pancreatic acini and guinea pig brain membranes. They were also evaluated for their ability to stimulate amylase secretion from rat pancreatic acini. The potency and selectivity of these analogues were compared with those obtained with CCK-4 and compound JIMV320, a potent and selective CCK-B receptor ligand synthesized earlier in our laboratory.
