title: Small therapeutic molecules for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
abstract: New therapies for inflammatory bowel disease are needed, because standard therapies fail to induce remission in about 30% of patients, and because of the relative inefficacy of current maintenance therapies. This review summarises the current status of the development of small therapeutic molecules for inflammatory bowel disease.
