The disclosure provides antibodies that are useful for, among other things, inhibiting terminal complement (e.g., the assembly and/or activity of the C5b-9 TCC) and C5a anaphylatoxin-mediated inflammation and, thus, treating complement-associated disorders. The antibodies have a number of improved properties relative to eculizumab, including, e.g., increased serum half-life in a human.

The invention relates to compounds of Formula (I)

##STR00001##

wherein n, X, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as described in the description; to pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and to the use of such compounds as medicaments, especially as modulators of the CXCR3 receptor.

There is provided inter alia a polypeptide comprising an immunoglobulin chain variable domain comprising three complementarity determining regions (CDR1-CDR3) and four framework regions, wherein: (a) at least one lysine residue in CDR1, CDR2 and/or CDR3 has been substituted with at least one histidine residue, and/or (b) at least one arginine residue in CDR1, CDR2 and/or CDR3 has been substituted with at least one histidine residue; wherein the polypeptide has increased intestinal stability relative to a corresponding polypeptide not having said histidine substitutions.

Vancomycin conjugates of Formula I, its stereoisomers, prodrugs, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and metal coordination complexes thereof is described in the present disclosure. Further, the present disclosure relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising vancomycin conjugates, its stereoisomers, prodrugs, pharmaceutically 10 acceptable salts, metal coordination complex thereof with one or more other pharmaceutical compositions or an antibiotic. The present disclosure also describes a process of preparing said conjugates, its stereoisomers, prodrugs, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and metal coordination complex thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions as described above. Furthermore, the present disclosure describes 15 compositions and methods of treating conditions and diseases that are mediated by bacteria
