Open Access Abstract The enzyme methionine aminopeptidase-2 MetAP-2 is thought to play an important function in human endothelial cell proliferation and as such provides a valuable target in both inflammation and cancer. Rheumatoid arthritis RA is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with increased synovial vascularity and hence is a potential therapeutic target for angiogenesis inhibitors. We examined the use of PPI-2458 a selective non-reversible inhibitor of MetAP-2 in disease models of RA namely acute and chronic collagen-induced arthritis CIA in mice. Whilst acute CIA is a monophasic disease CIA induced with murine collagen type II manifests as a chronic relapsing arthritis and mimics more closely the disease .
