Abstract

The combination of structure-based drug design and lead optimization has led to the discovery of non-covalent reversible and selective human Factor D inhibitors. Compound 27 was shown to block complement alternative pathway activation in vitro and demonstrated in vivo efficacy in animal models after oral administration.
