Abstract
Novel compounds that are anti-angiogenic or immunosuppressive are described. Also described are methods for determining if an animal is at risk for a disease involving abnormal angiogenesis or an immune reaction resulting in pathology comprising evaluating an aspect of MetAP2 metabolism or structure; methods for identifying agents that are anti-angiogenic or immunosuppressive comprising evaluating the effect of the agent on an aspect of MetAP2 metabolism; methods for treating a cell having an abnormality in metabolism or structure of MetAP2; and methods for treating abnormal angiogenesis or an immune reaction which results in pathology in an animal. Pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.
