Description | Lifitegrast sodium (SAR-1118-023 sodium) is a small molecule integrin antagonist that inhibits T cell-mediated inflammation by blocking the binding of two important cell surface proteins (lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 and intercellular adhesion molecule 1), which reduces inflammation of the ocular surface, and may be used in the study of dry eye. |
