2-Alkylsulfinyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles have been identified as novel inhibi
tors of cell adhesion molecule expression on endothelial cells. These
compounds have been shown to inhibit the up-regulation of ELAM-1 and V
CAM-1 on activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) as
measured by ELISA. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
