Abstract
The invention relates to Siglec inhibitors that have an increased affinity for the receptor molecule. The Siglec inhibitors provided by the invention are preferably selective of a given Siglec molecule. The invention further relates to a method for producing Siglec inhibitors and to a method for increasing the binding selectivity for a given Siglec molecule. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions that contain the Siglec inhibitors and to medical indications for the Siglec inhibitors.
Claims22
Siglec inhibitor with the formula:
- 3
- whereby
- X signifies a negatively charged group such as a carboxy, phosphate or sulphate group or a derivative of them;
- Y signifies an H atom, an alkyl or aryl group, a hydroxy group, a glycan, a polymer carrier molecule or a derivative of them;
- Z is selected from O, N, C and S;
- R1 signifies an H atom, a hydroxy group or a derivative of them;
- R2 signifies a hydroxy or amino group or a derivative of them;
- R3 signifies a hydroxy group or a derivative of it;
- R4 signifies a hydroxy group or a derivative of it;
- R5 signifies a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, whereby the substituent is selected from a substituted or unsubstituted formyl, alkanoyl, cycloalkanoyl, aryl-carbonyl, heteroaryl-carbonyl, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl or heteroaryl group, whereby these residues can also include one or more unsaturated bonds, whereby R4 acts as H acceptor and R5 as H donor;
- R6 signifies an H atom or an alkyl group, a charged group or a derivative of them;
- R6′ signifies an H atom or an alky group, a charged group or a derivative of them, whereby at least one substituent is selected from R6 and R6′ is a hydrophobic group, preferably an H atom or a methyl group;
- and
- R7 signifies an H atom or any group, preferably a group for improving the pharmacological properties of the siglec inhibitor.
