ABSTRACT:
Specific aspects of the cellular and humoral immune systems of a mammalian host are regulated by administering to the host a compound having a reactive immunoregulatory conformation whose precise three-dimensional structure is defined herein. Sorbinil, tolrestat, W-3681, and the other immunoregulatory agents described herein possess this reactive conformation and so are therapeutically useful for inhibiting delayed-type hypersensitivity, T-cell proliferation, and B-cell antibody production, without altering the normal cellularity of the immune system or the normal metabolites of the arachidonic acid pathway.
