The Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is a devastating consequence of systemic inflammatory conditions (such as sepsis) that afflicts an estimated 200,000 people a year in the US with 75,000 deaths. No specific therapy is available to target the underlying mechanistic causes of this syndrome. This proposal seeks to evaluate the potential therapeutic effectiveness of novel FTY720 analogues in models of this disease.
