Brief description We have discovered how to downsize a human protein to very small molecules with the same activities and potencies. Small changes enable the compounds to powerfully block the actions of the protein. These small molecules are very stable in blood, whereas the protein deactivates in minutes. This project will develop the small molecules into experimental drugs and test them in human cells and proteins, and in rats to evaluate their potential for treating human inflammatory diseases.
