摘要:
Peptide conjugates in which cytocidal and cytostatic agents, such as polyamine analogs or naphthoquinones, are conjugated to a polypeptide recognized and cleaved by enzymes such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and cathepsin B are provided, as well as compositions comprising these conjugates. Methods of using these conjugates in the treatment of prostate diseases are also provided.
摘要:
Conformationally restricted polyamine compounds useful in treatment of cancer and other diseases marked by abnormal cell proliferation are disclosed. Improved methods of synthesizing such compounds are also disclosed. In one method of the invention, a carbene-bearing or carbene equivalent-bearing compound is reacted with the double bond of an alkene compound to form a cyclopropyl ring as the first step in the synthesis.
摘要:
Novel quinones are provided, as well as compositions comprising these novel quinones. Methods of using the novel quinones in treatment of various indications including cancer are also provided.
摘要:
Conjugates of porphyrins with chemotherapeutic agents are disclosed, as well as methods of making the conjugates and methods of treating patients with the conjugates. Porphyrin compounds, such as mesoporphyrin IX, can be covalently linked to chemotherapeutic compounds, such as doxorubicin. The resulting conjugates display decreased systemic toxicity, while preserving the antineoplastic effects of the chemotherapeutic agent. The conjugates are thus useful in treating cancer and other diseases marked by uncontrolled cell proliferation.
摘要:
Oligoamine compounds with anti-cancer and anti-proliferative activity are provided, as well as methods for making and using the compounds. The compounds are shown to be active against prostate cancer cell lines and against prostate cancer tumors in mice. The compounds are also useful in treatment of breast cancer and other cancers.
摘要:
Novel quinones are provided, as well as compositions comprising these novel quinones. Methods of using the novel quinones in treatment of various indications including cancer are also provided.
