Description: CELL ADHESION INHIBITORS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RETATED APPLICATIONS This is a continuation-in-part of United States patent application Serial No. 08/376,372, filed January 23, 1995, now pending. TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to novel compounds that are useful for inhibition and prevention of cell adhesion and cell adhesion-mediated patholo- gies. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising these compounds and methods of using them for inhibition and prevention of cell adhesion and cell adhesion-mediated pathologies. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be used as therapeutic or prophylactic agents. They are particularly well-suited for treatment of many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Cell adhesion is a process by which cells associate with each other, migrate towards a specific target or localize within the extra-cellular matrix. As such, cell adhesion constitutes one of the funda¬ mental mechanisms underlying numerous biological phenomena. For example, cell adhesion is responsible for the adhesion of hemoatopoietic cells to endothelial cells and the subsequent migration of those hemopoietic cells out of blood vessels and to the site of injury. As such, cell adhesion plays a role in pathologies such as inflammation and immune reactions in mammals. Investigations into the molecular basis for cell adhesion have revealed that various cell-surface macromolecules -- collectively known as cell adhesion molecules or receptors -- mediate cell-cell and cell- matrix interactions. For example, proteins of the superfamily called "integrins" are the key mediators in adhesive interactions between hematopoietic cells and their microenvironment (M.E. Hemler, "VLA Proteins in the Integrin Family: Structures, Functions, and Their Role on Leukocytes.", Ann. Rev. Immunol.. 8, p. 365 (1990)). Integrins are non-covalent heterodimeric complexes consisting of two subunits called and β. There are at least 12 different α subunits (αl-α6, α-L, α- , -X, α-IIB, -V and α-E) and at least 9 different β (βl-β9) subunits. Based on the type of its α and β subunit components, each integrin molecule is categorized into a subfamily. 4βl integrin, also known as very late antigen-4 ("VLA-4"), CD49d/CD29, is a leukocyte cell surface receptor that participates in a wide variety of both cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesive interactions (M.E. Hemler, Ann, Rev. Immunol. , 8, p. 365 (1990)). It serves as a receptor for the cytokine-inducible endothelial cell surface protein, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 ("VCAM-1"), as well as to the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin ("FN") (Ruegg et al., .T. Cell Biol.. 177, p. 179 (1991); Wayner et al., -T. Cell Biol.. 105, p. 1873 (1987); Kramer et al., J. Biol. Chem.. 264, p. 4684 (1989); Gehlsen et al. Science. 24, p. 1228 (1988)). Anti-VLA4 monoclonal antibodies ("mAb's") have been shown to inhibit VLA4-dependent adhesive interactions both in vitro and in VJVP (Ferguson et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.. 88, p. 8072 (1991); Ferguson et al. , J. Immunol.. 150, p. 1172 (1993)). Results of in vivo experiments suggest that this inhibition of VLA-4-dependent cell adhesion may prevent or inhibit several inflammatory and autoimmune pathologies (R. L. Lobb et al. , "The Pathophysiologic Role of α-4 Integrins In Vivo", J . Clin. Invest.. 94, pp. 1722-28 (1994)) . In order to identify the minimum active amino acid sequence necessary to bind VLA-4, Komoriya et al. ("The Minimal Essential Sequence for a Major Cell Type- Specific Adhesion Site (CS1) Within the Alternatively Spliced Type III Connecting Segment Domain of Fibronectin Is Leucine-Aspartic Acid-Valine", J. Biol. Chem.. 266 (23), pp. 15075-79 (1991)) synthesized a variety of overlapping peptides based on the amino acid sequence of the CS-1 region (the VLA-4 binding domain) of a particular species of fibronectin. They identified an 8-amino acid peptide, Glu-Ile-Leu-Asp- Val-Pro-Ser-Thr [SEQ ID NO: 1] , as well as two smaller overlapping pentapeptides, Glu-Ile-Leu-Asp-Val [SEQ ID NO: 2] and Leu-Asp-Val-Pro-Ser [SEQ ID NO: 3] , that possessed inhibitory activity against FN-dependent cell adhesion. These results suggested the tripeptide Leu- Asp-Val as a minimum sequence for cell-adhesion activity. It was later shown that Leu-Asp-Val binds only to lymphocytes that express an actived form of VLA-4, thus bringing into question the utility of such a peptide in vivo (E.A. Wayner et al. , "Activation- Dependent Recognition by Hematopoietic Cells of the LDV Sequence in the V Region of Fibronectin", J. Cell. Biol.. 116(2), pp. 489-497 (1992)). However, certain larger peptides containing the LDV sequence were subsequently shown to be active in vivo [T. A. Ferguson et al., "Two Integrin Binding Peptides Abrogate T-cell- Mediated Immune Responses In Vivo, " Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 88, pp. 8072-76 (1991); and S.M. Wahl et al. , "Synthetic Fibronectin Peptides Suppress Arthritis in Rats by Interrupting Leukocyte Adhesion and Recruitment," J. Clin. Invest.. 94, pp. 655-62 (1994)]. A cyclic pentapeptide, Arg-Cys-Asp-TPro-Cys (wherein TPro denotes 4-thioproline) , which can inhibit both VLA-4 and VLA-5 adhesion to FN has also been described (D. M. Nowlin et al. "A Novel Cyclic Pentapeptide Inhibits α4βl and 5βl Integrin-mediated Cell Adhesion", J. Biol. Chem.. 268(27), pp. 20352-59 (1993) ; and PCT publication PCT/US91/04862) . This peptide was based on the tripeptide sequence Arg-Gly- Asp from FN which had been known as a common motif in the recognition site for several extracellular-matrix proteins. Despite these advances, there remains a need for small, specific inhibitors of VLA-4-dependent cell adhesion. Ideally, such inhibitors would be semi- peptidic or non-peptidic so that they may be orally administered. Such compounds would provide useful agents for treatment, prevention or suppression of various pathologies mediated by cell adhesion and VLA-4 binding. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves this problem by providing novel non-peptidic compounds that specifically inhibit the binding of ligands to VLA-4. These compounds are useful for inhibition, prevention and suppression of VLA-4-mediated cell adhesion and pathologies associated with that adhesion, such as inflammation and immune reactions. The compounds of this invention may be used alone or in combination with other therapeutic or prophylactic agents to inhibit, prevent or suppress cell adhesion. This invention also provides pharmaceutical formulations containing these VLA-4-mediated cell adhesion inhibitors and methods of using the compounds and compositions of the invention for inhibition of cell adhesion. According to one embodiment of this invention, these novel compounds, compositions and methods are advantageously used to treat inflammatory and immune diseases. The present invention also provides methods for preparing the compounds of this invention and intermediates useful in those methods.

Compounds of this invention may be synthesized using any conventional technique. Preferably, these compounds are chemically synthesized from readily available starting materials, such as - amino acids. Modular and convergent methods for the synthesis of these compounds are also preferred. In a convergent approach, for example, large sections of the final product are brought together in the last stages of the synthesis, rather than by incremental addition of small pieces to a growing molecular chain. According to one embodiment, compounds of the present invention may be synthesized in the following manner. A protected chiral amine is added to an ,β- unsaturated ester to produce a protected β-amino acid ester. Upon suitable deprotection, the β-amino acid ester is coupled to an appropriate activated ester moiety. The coupled product, if suitably function- alized, may be further reacted with yet another activated ester moiety. This material can be further manipulated to give the desired compounds of the invention. At each step of the above sequence, the ester can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding acid to give another compound of the invention. Alternatively, the activated ester moieties mentioned above can be attached together first, then the resulting compound can be attached to the β-amino acid ester portion. At this point the final manipulations and/or necessary deprotection steps can be performed. Alternatively, under suitable conditions, the desired functionalities can be incorporated (protected or unprotected) in one of the activated ester moieties. That piece is then coupled with a β-amino acid ester or a moiety consisting of a β-amino ester previously coupled to an activated ester. The resulting product can then be subjected to any deprotection steps, if necessary, to give compounds of the invention. Alternatively, the chiral β-amino acid esters used in the synthesis of the compounds of this invention may be synthesized by well-known techniques, such as those described in United States patent 5,344,957, the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by references. The compounds of this invention may also be modified by appending appropriate functionalities to enhance selective biological properties. Such modifications are known in the art and include those which increase biological penetration into a given biological system (e.g., blood, lymphatic system, central nervous system) , increase oral availability, increase solubility to allow administration by injection, alter metabolism and alter rate of excretion. As used throughout this application, the term "patient" refers to mammals, including humans. And the term "cell" refers to mammalian cells, including human cells. Once synthesized, the activities and VLA-4 specificities of the compounds according to this invention may be determined using in vitro and i vivo assays. For example, the cell adhesion inhibitory activity of these compounds may be measured by determining the concentration of inhibitor required to block the binding of VLA-4-expressing cells to fibronectin- or CSl-coated plates. In this assay microtiter wells are coated with either fibronectin (containing the CS-1 sequence) or CS-1. If CS-1 is used, it must be conjugated to a carrier protein, such as bovine serum albumin, in order to bind to the wells. Once the wells are coated, varying concentrations of the test compound are then added together with appropriately labelled, VLA-4-expressing cells. Alternatively, the test compound may be added first and allowed to incubate with the coated wells prior to the addition of the cells. The cells are allowed to incubate in the wells for at least 30 minutes. Following incubation, the wells are emptied and washed. Inhibition of binding is measured by quantitating the fluorescence or radioactivity bound to the plate for each of the various concentrations of test compound, as well as for controls containing no test compound. VLA-4-expressing cells that may be utilized in this assay include Ramos cells, Jurkat cells, A 75 melanoma cells, as well as human peripheral blood lymophocytes (PBLs) . The cells used in this assay may be fluorescently or radioactively labelled. A direct binding assay may also be employed to quantitate the inhibitory activity of the compounds of this invention. In this assay, a VCAM-IgG fusion protein containing the first two immunoglobin domains of VCAM (D1D2) attached above the hinge region of an IgGl molecule ("VCAM 2D-IgG"), is conjugated to a marker enzyme, such as alkaline phosphatase ("AP"). The synthesis of this VCAM-IgG fusion is described in PCT publication WO 90/13300, the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference. The conjugation of that fusion to a marker enzyme is achieved by cross¬ linking methods well-known in the art. The VCAM-IgG enzyme conjugate is then placed in the wells of a muti-well filtration plate, such as that contained in the Millipore Multiscreen Assay System (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA). Varying concentrations of the test inhibitory compound are then added to the wells followed by addition of VLA-4- expressing cells. The cells, compound and VCAM-IgG enzyme conjugate are mixed together and allowed to incubate at room temperature. Following incubation, the wells are vacuum drained, leaving behind the cells and any bound VCAM. Quantitation of bound VCAM is determined by adding an appropriate colorimetric substrate for the enzyme conjugated to VCAM-IgG and determining the amount of reaction product. Decreased reaction product indicates increased cell adhesion inhibitory activity. In order to assess the VLA-4 inhibitory specificity of the compounds of this invention, assays for other major groups of integrins, i.e., β2 and β3, as well as other βl integrins, such as VLA-5, VLA-6 and α4β7 are performed. These assays may be similar to the adhesion inhibition and direct binding assays described above, substituting the appropriate integrin-expressing cell and corresponding ligand. For example, polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) express β2 integrins on their surface and bind to ICAM. β3 integrins are involved in platelet aggregation and inhibition may be measured in a standard platelet aggregation assay. V_-ιA-5 binds specifically to Arg-Gly-Asp sequences, while VLA-6 binds to laminin. α4β7 is a recently discovered homologue of VLA-4, which also binds fibronectin and VCAM. Specificity with respect to 4β7 is determined in a binding assay that utilizes the above-described VCAM-IgG-enzyme marker conjugate and a cell line that expresses α4β7, but not VLA-4, such as RPMI-8866 cells. Once VLA-4-specific inhibitors are identified, they may be further characterized in in vivo assays. One such assay tests the inhibition of contact hypersensitivity in an animal, such as described by P.L. Chisholm et al. , "Monoclonal Antibodies to the Integrin α-4 Subunit Inhibit the Murine Contact Hypersensitivity Response", Eur. J. Immunol.. 23, pp. 682-688 (1993) and in "Current Protocols in Immunology", J. E. Coligan, et al. , Eds., John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1, pp. 4.2.1-4.2.5 (1991), the disclosures of which is herein incorporated by reference. In this assay, the skin of the animal is sensitized by exposure to an irritant, such as dinitrofluorobenzene, followed by light physical irritation, such as scratching the skin lightly with a sharp edge. Following a recovery period, the animals are re-sensitized following the same procedure. Several days after sensitization, one ear of the animal is exposed to the chemical irritant, while the other ear is treated with a non-irritant control solution. Shortly after treating the ears, the animals are given various doses of the VLA-4 inhibitor by subcutaneous injection. In vivo inhibition of cell adhesion- associated inflammation is assessed by measuring the ear swelling response of the animal in the treated versus untreated ear. Swellling is measured using calipers or other suitable instrument to measure ear t.iickness. In this manner, one may identify those inhibitors of this invention which are best suited for inhibiting inflammation. Another i vivo assay that may be employed to test the inhibitors of this invention is the sheep asthma assay. This assay is performed essentially as described in W. M. Abraham et al. , "α-Integrins Mediate Antigeninduced Late Bronchial Responses and Prolonged Airway Hyperresponsiveness i Sheep, " J. Clin. Inves .. 93, pp. 776-87 (1994), the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference. This assay measures inhibition of Ascaris antigen-induced late phase airway responses and airway hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic sheep.

The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3- butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or di-glycerides. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives are useful in the preparation of injectables, as do natural pharmaceutically-acceptable oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions may also contain a long-chain alcohol diluent or dispersant, such as Ph. Helv or similar alcohol.

Suitable topical formulations are readily prepared for each of these areas or organs. Topical application for the lower intestinal tract can be effected in a rectal suppository formulation (see above) or in a suitable enema formulation. Topically-transdermal patches may also be used. For topical applications, the pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in a suitable ointment containing the active component suspended or dissolved in one or more carriers. Carriers for topical administration of the compounds of this invention include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, propylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene compound, emulsifying wax and water.

The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated, and the particular mode of administration. It should be understood, however, that a specific dosage and treatment regimen for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the judgment of the treating physician and the severity of the particular disease being treated. The amount of active ingredient may also depend upon the therapeutic or prophylactic agent, if any, with which the ingredient is co-administered. The dosage and dose rate of the compounds of this invention effective to prevent, suppress or inhibit cell adhesion will depend on a variety of factors, such as the nature of the inhibitor, the size of the patient, the goal of the treatment, the nature of the pathology to be treated, the specific pharmaceutical composition used, and the judgment of the treating physician. Dosage levels of between about 0.001 and about 100 mg/kg body weight per day, preferably between about 0.1 and about 10 mg/kg body weight per day of the active ingredient compound are useful.

EXAMPLE 67 Inhibition of VLA4-Dependent Adhesion to BSA-CS1 This assay was used to assess the potency of VLA4-directed inhibitory compounds of this invention. 1. Conjugation of CS1 to BSA We dissolved BSA-SMCC (Pierce Chemical, Rockford, IL; Catalog # 77115) in H 2 0 at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. [SEQ ID NO:4] :Cys-Tyr-Asp-Glu-Leu-Pro-Gln- Leu-Val-Thr-Leu-Pro-His-Pro-Asn-Leu-His-Gly-Pro-Glu-Ile- Leu-Asp-Val-Pro-Ser-Thr ("Cys-Tyr-CSl peptide") , which we synthesized by conventional solid phase chemistry and purified by HPLC, was dissolved in lOmM HEPES pH 5, 50 mM NaCl and 0.1 mM EDTA also at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. We then mixed 500 μL of BSA-SMCC, 250 μL of Cys- Tyr-CSl peptide and 75 μL of 1 mM HEPES pH 7.5 and allowed the conjugation reaction to proceed for 30 minutes. We stopped the reaction by adding 1 μL of beta-mercaptoethanol. Samples were analyzed for cross¬ linking by SDS-PAGE. This reaction produced multiple molecules of the Cys-Tyr-CSl peptide conjugate to each BSA molecule. 2. Preparation of Plates for Adhesion Assay We coated the wells of a Linbro titertek polystyrene 96-well flat bottom plate (Flow Laboratories, Maclean, VA; catalog #76-231-05) with 100 μL of the above-described BSA-CS1 solution diluted to 1 μg/mL in 0.05 M NaHC0 3 (15mM NaHC0 3 , 35mM Na 2 C0 3 ) pH 9.2. Some wells were not coated with CS1 in order to assess non-specific cell binding (NSB) . The plate was then incubated overnight at 4°C. Following this incubation, the contents of the wells were removed by inverting and blotting the plate. All of the wells were then Hocked with 100 μL of 1% BSA in PBS, 0.02% NaN 3 , for a minimum of one hour at room temperature. 3. Preparation of Fluorescently Labelled Ramos Cella Ramos cells are grown, maintained and labelled in RPMI 1640 culture medium containing 1% BSA. Just prior to running the assay, we added 2 ' , 7' -bis- (2- carboxyethyl) -5 (and -6) carboxyfluorescein acetoxymethyl ester ("BCECF-AM" ; Molecular Probes Inc., Eugene, Oregon; catalog #B-1150) to a final concnetration of 2μM to a culture of Ramos cells (4 x 10 6 cells/mL) . We incubated the cells for 20 minutes at 37°C. Following labelling, the cells were washed twice in assay buffer (24 mM TRIS, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KC1, pH 7.4, containing 0.1% BSA and 2mM glucose) to remove any cations originating from the culture medium. The cells were then resuspended in assay buffer to 4 x 10 6 cells/mL and 2mM MnCl 2 was added to upregulate VLA4 on the surface of the cells. 4. Running the Assay Immediately prior to running the assay, we removed the BSA blocking solution from the 96-well plates and washed the wells with 100 μL of assay buffer. We then added to each well 25 μL of test compound at 2x the final concentration and 25 μL of the labelled Ramos cells. Final concentrations were selected across a range of anticipated IC50s, usually between 0.01 nM - 10 μM. Each concentration of compound was tested in triplicate. The compound and cells are allowed to incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature. We then emptied the contents of the plate and washed the wells 4 times with assay buffer. Using a light microscope, we examined the the NSB wells. If more than a few cells are bound to those wells, we washed the plate once more to remove the excess non- specifically bound cells. Binding of the Ramos cells to the CS1 peptide- coated wells was measured by adding 100 μL of assay buffer to each well and quantitating fluorescence in a Millipore Cytofluor 2300 System platereader set at 485 nm excitation and 530 nm emission. Binding was expressed as an IC50 -- the concentration of inhibitor at which 50% of control binding occurs. Percent binding is calculated by the formula: t(F TB - F NS ) - (F τ - F NS )]/[(F TB - F NS ) x 100 = % binding, where F TB is total fluorescence bound to CS1-containing wells without added inhibitor; F NS is fluorescence bound in wells lacking CS1; and F τ is fluorescence bound in wells containing an inhibitor of this invention. Other compounds according to this invention were similarly assayed. The IC50 for each of these compounds is indicated in the table below: Table abbreviations: A - < 50 nM; B - 50 nM - 10 μM; C - > 10 μM; nd - not determined. All compounds tested in this table demonstrated an IC 60 < 1 mM EXAMPLE 68 ni-rect Binding Of VLA4-Presenting Cells To VOAM-TgG We next examined the ability of the compounds of this invention to inhibit VCAM/VLA4 binding, utilizing a VCAM-IgG-alkaline phosphatase conjugate. To carry out this assay, we used the Millipore Multiscreen Assay System (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA) to wash the cells efficiently. 1. Preparation of VCAM-IgG-AP conjugates The construction of VCAM 2D-IgG expression vectors, transfection of CHO cells with those constructs and purification of the resulting expression product is described in PCT publication WO 90/13300, the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference. 1.2 ml of purified VCAM 2D-IgG (5 mg/ml in 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.5) was reacted with 44 μl of Traut 's reagent (2-iminothiolane, 20 mg/ml in water; Pierce Chemical, Rockford, IL.) at room temperature for 30 minutes. The sample was desalted on a 15 ml Sephadex G-25 column equilibrated with 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MES, pH 5.0. One ml fractions were collected and absorbance at 280 nm was determined. The two peak fractions were pooled. One ml of calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase (19 mg/ml; Pierce Chemical, Rockford, IL) was reacted with 100 μl of sulfo-SMCC (30 mg/ml in water) and 100 μl 1 M HEPES, pH 7.5 for 35 minutes at room temperature. The reaction mix was desalted on a 12 ml Sephadex G-25 column equilibrated with 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM HEPES, pH 6.0. One ml fractions were collected and absorbance at 280 nm was determined. The two peak fractions were pooled and stored on ice. The alkaline phosphatase-SMCC and VCAM 2D-IgG- iminothilane adducts were cross-linked at a molar ratio of 2:lin Tris-HCL, pH 7.5 by incubation at room temperature for 30 minutes. Extent of cross-linking was determined by SDS-PAGE. The cross-linked products were stabilized by the addition of 2 mM MgCl 2 and 0.25 nM ZnCl 2 and stored at 4°C. 2. Binding Assay We first blocked a 96-well filtration plate for by adding 275 μL of PBS containing 0.1% Tween 20 and 2% BSA ("blocking buffer") to each well and incubating for 1 hour at room temperature. The plate was then placed onto a vacuum manifold and the blocking buffer was drained through the bottom of the filtration wells into a waste collection tray. Then we washed the wells three times with 200-250 μL of Tris-buffered saline, containing 0.1% BSA, 2 mM glucose and 1 mM HEPES, pH 7.5 ("assay buffer") to wash out any remaining blocking buffer. We then drained the plates and blotted them on paper towels to remove buffer on the underside of the plate. We then prepared a stock solution of VCAM-IgG-AP (4 μg/mL in assay buffer) and filtered it thorugh a 0.2 μ low protein binding syringe filter (Gelman Sciences, Ann Arbor, MI # 4454) . This solution was then diluted 1:10 in assay buffer and 25 μL was added to every well of the washed plate. We diluted the cell adhesion inhibitor being tested to 2x final concentration in assay buffer and added 25 μL of each dilution to triplicate wells in the plate. Final concentrations used ranged from 0.01 nM - 10 μM. Control wells for total binding and non-specific binding recieved 25 μL of assay buffer, instead of inhibitor. Total binding wells contained cells and VCAM-IgG-AP in assay buffer. Non-specific binding wells contained only VCAM-IgG-AP in assay buffer. Jurkat cells were washed once in assay buffer to remove growth medium and resuspended at 8 x l0 6 /mL in assay buffer containing 2 mM MnCl 2 . We added 50 μl of Jurkat cells to every well, except the non-specific binding wells, which received 50 μL of assay buffer to maintain a final assay volume of 100 μL per well. We gently mixed the contents of the wells by tapping the sides of the plate. The plate was then allowed to incubate undisturbed for 60 minutes at room temperature. At the end of the 60 minute incubation, we placed the plate on the vacuum manifold to drain the wells. We carefully added 100 μL of assay buffer containing ImM MnCl 2 (wash buffer) to each well so as not to disturb the cells on the bottom. The wash buffer was removed by vacuum and the plate was washed again with 150 μL of wash buffer. After draining the wash buffer again, the underside of the plate was blotted on paper towels. Next, we prepared a 10 mg/mL solution of 4- nitrophenylphosphate in 0.1 M glycine, 1 mM ZnCl 2 , pH 10.5 (substrate buffer) and added 100 μL immediately added to each well. The plate was incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the colorimetric reaction to proceed. We stopped the reaction by adding 100 μL of 3 N NaOH to each well. The contents of the 96-well filtration plate was then transferred directly into a 96-well flat bottom plate using the vacuum manifold. The plate was read at a wavelength of 405 nm to determine the amount of VCAM conjugate bound to the cells. Percent binding is calcualted by the formula: [(A TB - A NS ) - (Ax - A NS H/ΠA TB - A NS ) x 100 = % binding, where A TB is the absorbance at 405 nm of CS1-containing wells without added inhibitor; A NS is the absorbance at 405 nm in wells lacking CS1; and A : is absorbance at 405 nm in wells containing an inhibitor of this invention We assayed other compounds of this invention in the same assay. The IC50 values are comparable to those derived from the CSl binding assay described in the previous example, although certain compounds demonstrated up to 10-fold greater binding in this assay than in the previous assay. EXAMPLE fi9 Inhibition Of Mouse Contact Hypersensitivity We anesthetized 20-g female Balb/c mice (Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, ME) with sodium pentobarbital (90 mg/kg, i.p.) . A 3 cm 2 patch of abdominal skin was tnen exposed by closely shaving the fur. The skin was then scrubbed with 70% ethanol, followed by application of 25 μL of 0.5% DNFB in 4 :1 v/v acetone:olive oil onto the bare abdominal skin. We then lightly scratched the skin with the applying pipet tip to encourage mild inflammation. Twenty four hours after the initial sensitization we again sensitized the mouse with 25 μL of 0.5% DNFB at same abdominal skin location, again followed by light scratching with the pipet tip. The second sensitization was performed while restraining the unanesthetized mouse. On Day 5 (120 hours after the initial sensitization) , we anesthetized the mice with 90:10 mg/kg ketamine:xylazine, i.p. and applied a sub-irritant dose of 10 μL of 0.2% DNFB to the dorsal surface of the left ear. The right ear received a similar application of the 4:1 v/v acetone:olive oil vehicle. Four hours after challenging the immune response, we administered various concentrations of the inhibitors of this invention to the mice in 100 μL 0.5% sodium phosphate buffer, pH 8.8, and 3% v/v DMSO by subcutaneous (s.c.) injection. Less soluble inhibitors occasionally required up to 30% DMSO addition the highest concentrations tested. Groups of 8 mice were used for each treatment tested. Positive (PS2 anti- mouse VLA-4 antibody, 8 mg/kg, i.v.), and negative control (phosphate-buffered physiological saline, PBS, 100 μL i.v.; DMSO in PBS, 100 μL s.c.) groups were routinely tested for comparison as part of the assay of test compounds. Twenty four hours after challenge mice were again anesthetized with ketamine:xylazine and the ear thickness of both ears measured with an engineer's micrometer to an accuracy of 10 "4 inches. The ear swelling response for each nouse was the difference between its control- and DNFB-challenged ear thickness. Typical uninhibited ear swelling responses were 65-75 x 10 "4 in. Inhibition of the ear swelling response was judged by comparison of treated groups with their negative control group. Percent inhibition was calculated as: [(mean negative control group - (mean test group ear | ear swelling) _ swelling) J_ • 100 mean negative control group ear swelling Statistical significance of the difference among treatment groups was evaluated using one-way analysis of variance followed by computation of the Tukey-Kramer Honestly Significant Difference (JMP, SAS Institute) using p<0.05. The inhibitors of this invention cause a statistically significant reduction in the ear swelling response of DNFB-treated mice as compared to uninhibited control animals. EXAMPLE 70 Inhibition Of Ascaris Antigen-Induced Late haflg Airway Sensitivity In Allergic Sheep Sheep which had previously been shown to develop both early and late bronchial responses to Ascaris suum antigen were used in this study. The protocol used for the experiment was that described in W. M. Abraham et al., J. Clin. Invest.. 93, pp. 776-87 (1994), except that the VLA-4 inhibitors of this invention were administered to the animals was dissolved in 3-4 ml of 50% aqueous ethanol and delivered by aerosol spray. The results showed that all of the VLA-4 inhibitors of this invention inhibited the airway responses associated with administration of Ascaris suum antigen. While we have hereinbefore presented a number of embodiments of this invention, it is apparent that our basic construction can be altered to provide other compounds and methods which utilize the compounds of this invention. Therefore, it will be appreciated that the scope of this invention is to be defined by the claims appended hereto rather than the specific embodiments which have been presented hereinbefore by way of example.
