Abstract

The present invention relates to novel CD40:CD154 binding interrupter compounds and use of these compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, to treat conditions associated with inappropriate CD154 activation in a subject. Specifically, this invention provides compounds which are identified by screening a library of small molecules for those that are capable of specifically binding CD154 and interrupting CD40:CD154 interaction.
