An alpha4beta1 integrin antagonist decreases airway inflammation in ovalbumin-exposed mice.
Published in European Journal of Pharmacology
Inhibition of the alpha4 subunit of both the alpha4beta1 and alpha4beta7 integrins has shown promise in decreasing airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness in various animal models. We hypothesized that a novel, high-affinity alpha4beta1 antagonist (LLP2A) would decrease the migration of eosinophils to the lung and ameliorate the airway h...
