摘要:
A method and kit for inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells are disclosed, based on a combination of a proteasome inhibitor and a telomerase inhibitor. When used in cancer therapy, the two compounds in combination enhance the anti-cancer treatment efficacy obtained with the proteasome inhibitor alone or the telomerase inhibitor alone. Preferably, efficacy is supraadditive or synergistic in nature relative to the combined effects of the individual agents, with minimal exacerbation of side effects.

The present invention additionally provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of formula (I) and provides methods of treating cancer comprising administering a compound of formula (I).
摘要:
In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating colon and/or ovarian cancer in a subject comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a compound of general formula (I): wherein R1-R6, R, -R, Q, Y1, Y2 and n are as defined herein, wherein the compound is present in an amount effective to inhibit colon and/or ovarian tumor metastasis.
摘要:
A pharmaceutical composition which comprises the c-kit ligand (KL) purified by applicants or produced by applicants' recombinant methods in combination with other hematopoietic factors and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is provided as well as methods of treating patients which comprise administering to the patient the pharmaceutical composition of this invention. This invention provides combination therapies using c-kit ligand (KL) and a purified c-kit ligand (KL) polypeptide, or a soluble fragment thereof and other hematopoietic factors. It also provides methods and compositions for ex-vivo use of KL alone or in combination therapy. A mutated KL antagonist is also described. Such an antagonist may also be a small molecule. Antisense nucleic acids to KL as therapeutics are also described. Lastly, compositions and methods are described that take advantage of the role of KL in germ cells, mast cells and melanocytes.
摘要:
The discovery of clonally pure populations of serosal cancer stem cells (CSCs) as well as methods of producing CSCs, culturing the CSCs and using them in screening assays, has lead to the development of methods of treating serosal and ovarian cancers by targeting removal or inhibition of the glycocalyx coat surrounding such cells, and includes combination therapies using particular chemotherapeutics in conjunction with glycocalyx inhibitors, as well as the same new chemotherapy treatments without targeting the glycocalyx, where the chemotherapeutic agent is any one of LBH-589 (Panobinostat), NVP-AUY922, LAQ824 (NVP-LAQ824, Dacinostat), colchicine, brefeldin A, diphenyleneiodonium chloride, any combination thereof or another agent identified herein. These treatment methods of the invention can also be used in combination with radiation treatment or other conventional cancer therapy.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a clonally pure population of serosal cancer stem cells (CSCs) as well as methods of producing and culturing the CSCs and uses thereof. The CSCs form catenae (free floating chains of cells) which have a glycocalyx coat of hyaluronan and proteoglycans. This discovery has lead to the development of methods of treating serosal and ovarian cancers by targeting removal or inhibition of glycocalyx formation, including combination therapies using chemotherapeutics in conjunction with glycocalyx inhibitors. The invention also provides drug screening assays for identifying compounds effective against these CSCs as well as other serosal cancer cells. Methods to use catena gene signatures, protein and surface antigens are provided for monitoring patient samples for the presence of serosal cancer stem cells.
摘要:
The present invention provides compounds having formula (I): (I) wherein n, R1-R5, Ra-Rb, Q, Y1 and Y2 are as defined herein; and additionally provides methods for the synthesis thereof, compositions thereof, and methods for the use thereof in the treatment of various disorders including cancer, metastasis and disorders involving increased angiogenesis.
