Abstract excerpt
Functional variants of the gene for the cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) are defined by a 4-nucleotide promoter microsatellite (-794 CATT5-8, rs5844572) and confer risk for autoimmune, infectious, and oncologic diseases. We describe herein the discovery of a prototypic, small molecule inhibitor of MIF transcription with selectivity for high microsatellite repeat number and correspondingly...
