There is disclosed a genus of optionally substituted Schiff base condensation products (and the carba analogs thereof) comprising an amino acid component and a benzaldehyde component, that have MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor) antagonist activity. The compounds are useful for treating a variety of diseases involving inflammatory activity or pro-inflammatory cytokine responses, such as autoimmune diseases, asthma, arthritis, EAE, ARDS and various forms of sepsis and septic shock, and other conditions characterized by underlying MIF responses including, for instance, tumor growth and neovascularization.
