Antagonists of alpha 4 integrin/alpha 4 integrin ligand adhesion, which inhibit the biological effects of such adhesion are described and methods for their use are detailed. Such antagonists are useful in suppressing bone destruction associated with multiple myeloma. The homing of multiple myeloma cells to bone marrow and their alpha 4 integrin-dependent release of bone-resorbing factors, resulting in bone destruction in patients with multiple myeloma, is inhibited.

The invention relates to a cyclopeptide analog and a cyclization method thereof, which aims at providing an integrin ligand cyclopeptide analog and a cyclization method thereof. The cyclization method comprises the following steps: Azido-glycine is firstly generated by glycin with the effects of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride and Sodium azide; Fmoc-Asp-Propargyl is then generated by condensation with propargylamine in solution; after side-chain carboxyl of propargyl acyl aspartic acid is then hung on 2-CTC resin, linear tetrapeptide analogs are condensed in turn, and the linear tetrapeptide analogs are then cut down from the resin; and the cyclopeptide analog is synthesized in the condition of liquid phase (DCM is used as a solvent and CuBr/DBU is used as catalyst) after 4 to 6 hours of reaction at room temperature. The cyclopeptide analog and cyclization method has the following advantages: (1) the integrin ligand cyclopeptide analog in the invention is introduced with heterocyclic rings (triazole rings), thereby being capable of increasing biological activity; and (2) the cyclization method in the invention is more simple, convenient and high-efficient, and the condition is moderate.

Also provided are the expression method and simple separation and purification process for the production of the fusion protein which is soluble and has high content of the polymer, and use of the fusion protein for the manufacturing of a medicament for the treatment of tumor. The fusion protein has good tumor tissue targeting property, significantly enhanced anti-tumor effect, which can also reduce the dose of the needed protein for the target treatment effect, improve the bioavailability, reduce the treatment cost, decrease and overcome the potential toxic and side effects of the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand.

The invention discloses an application of a blocker with integrin affinity and bonding capability and MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) inhibiting capability, and belongs to the field of medicines. The application comprises a polypeptide I (Arg-Gly-Asp-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Pro-(D-Pyr)-(D-Cys)-Bip-Arg-Gly-Glu) and a polypeptide II (Pro-(D-Pyr)-(D-Cys)-Bip-Arg-Gly-Glu-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp), wherein the polypeptide I is modified with an integrin ligand sequence (Arg-Gly-Asp-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly); two types of blood vessel inhibiting polypeptides with integrin affinity and bonding capability are formed. The application has the advantages that because of the targeting property of an RGD (arginine-glycin-aspartate) sequence, the polypeptides can be targeted to the new blood vessel endothelium of the RA (rheumatoid arthritis) pannus forming process, the forming of MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) and the new blood vessel can be inhibited, and the effect of preventing or treating the blood vessel and inflammatory diseases are realized; the polypeptides can be applied to the treatment of the blood vessel and inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, inflammation, tumors, and eye diseases.

The invention relates to a combination therapy for the treatment of tumors and tumor metastases comprising the continuous administration of integrin ligands, preferably integrin antagonists, together with co-therapeutic agent or therapy forms that have synergistic efficacy when administered consecutively with said ligands, such as chemotherapeutic agents and or radiation therapy.

The invention relates to a combination therapy for the treatment of tumors and tumor metastases comprising administration of integrin ligands, preferably integrin antagonists, together with co-therapeutic agents or therapy forms that have synergistic efficacy when administered together with said ligands, such as chemotherapeutic agents and/or radiation therapy, in isolated organ perfusion. The therapy results in a synergistic potential increase of the inhibition effect of each individual therapeutic on tumor cell proliferation, yielding more effective treatment than found by administering an individual component alone.

The present invention is directed to modified integrin proteins and methods and compositions using integrin-based therapeutics. In one embodiment, the modified integrins demonstrate increased occurrence or duration of the E−H+ integrin protein conformation. In another embodiment, the compounds of the present invention stabilize E−H+ integrin protein conformation, increasing the occurrence or duration of the E−H+ integrin protein conformation. In another embodiment, the compounds of the present invention inhibit binding of a ligand of an integrin. In yet a further embodiment, the present compounds increase cis binding of the integrin or signaling based thereon. The present compounds decrease the occurrence or duration of trans binding of the integrin or signaling based thereon. The modified integrins and compounds described herein may be used in methods of treating immune modulated diseases or inflammatory diseases or conditions.

The present invention belongs to the field of pharmacy and relates to a highly stable multifunctional short peptide mn having high affinity with integrin and multi-functions of targeting tumor neovascularization, tumor mimic blood vessels and tumor cells, a polypeptide-modified complex, a drug delivery system and uses of the short peptide mn in preparation of drugs for tumor diagnosis and treatment. Experiment results show that mn-modified drugs are specifically taken up by integrin-expressing positive cells and tumor tissue, and have good tumor targeting and imaging functions; and a drug delivery system constructed by an mn-modified polymer carrier material effectively delivers entrapped drugs to target tissue and significantly improves the tumor diagnosis and treatment. Comparing the prepared drugs with widely used integrin ligand c (RGDyK), the mn has better stability in serum and stronger binding ability with the integrin, immunogenicity of a modified carrier system is significantly lower than a carrier system modified by the c (RGDyK), etc., mn-mediated in-vivo active targeting drug delivery effects are more effective and the mn has good application prospects in the tumor diagnosis and targeted therapy.
