Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for impairing function or reducing or ablating levels of Id (inhibitors of differentiation) proteins to suppress metastasis of cancer cells in mammalian subjects presenting with cancer or elevated risk of metastatic disease. Exemplary anti-Id compounds include N-(3-(benzo[d] [1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-3-(2-methoxyphenyl)propyl)-N- benzylpropionamide and isolated enantiomers of N-(3-(benzo[d] [ 1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-3-(2- methoxyphenyl)propyl)-N-benzylpropionamide. Anti-Id compositions and methods of the invention can be combined with standard anticancer treatment modalities, such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Also provided are compositions and methods to treat other hyperproliferative disorders, including pathogenic angiogenic conditions, including tumor-associated neoangiogenesis and ocular vascular pathologies including age-related macular degeneration.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for using doxorubicin active agents in which reduced host toxicity is observed. Aspects of the methods including administering to a subject an effective amount of a doxorubicin active agent in conjunction with a doxorubicin toxicity-reducing adjuvant, e.g., a nitrone compound, or a nitrone compound in combination with a bisdioxopiperazine compound. Also provided are compositions for use in practicing the subject methods. The methods and compositions find use in a variety of different applications, including in the treatment of a variety of different disease conditions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions that comprise an anti-SIP monoclonal antibody, antibody fragment, or derivative in a carrier, particularly a buffered, hypertonic aqueous solution, as well as to kits containing such compositions, and methods for using such compositions for treatment of diseases and conditions associated with SlP.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a rabbit monoclonal antibody that binds to human Id1 protein and/or mouse Id1 protein with high specificity and high affinity. The antibody has a binding constant, measured with respect to human Id1 protein and/or mouse Id1 protein, equal to or greater than 1x 108/molar. The antibody has no substantial cross-reactivity with other family Id proteins such as Id2, Id3, or Id4, or other endogenous proteins present in the cells that express Id1 protein. The high specificity and high affinity of the rabbit monoclonal antibodies of the present invention allows sensitive and specific detection and/or quantitation of Id1 protein in biological samples. The antibodies are useful in immunochemical-based assays such as ELISA, western blot, and immunohistochemical staining.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to anti-SIP agents, for example, humanized monoclonal antibodies, and their uses for detection of SIP or for treatment of diseases and conditions associated with SIP.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a rabbit monoclonal antibody that binds to human Id3 protein and/or mouse Id3 protein with high specificity and high affinity. The antibody has a binding constant, measured with respect to human Id3 protein or mouse Id3, of greater than 1x 10 8 /molar. The antibody has no substantial cross-reactivity to other family Id proteins such as Id1, Id2, or Id4, or other endogenous proteins present in the cells that express Id3 protein. The specificity and high affinity of the rabbit monoclonal antibodies of the present invention allows sensitive and specific detection and/or quantitation of human or mouse Id3 protein in biological samples. The antibodies are useful in immunochemical-based assays such as ELISA, western blot, and immunohistochemical staining.
Abstract:
Disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing as active ingredient a compound of formula (I) wherein R' is a saturated alkyl of 3 to 5 carbon atoms, each R is independently -NO2 or -NH2 or -NHCOCH3, and n is 1 or 2. Some of these compounds are new. A process for their preparation is also disclosed, as well as their use in the manufacture of medicaments for treating conditions characterised by progressive loss of central nervous system such as Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's.
Abstract:
The present invention provides identification of inhibitors of inhibitors of differentiation (Id) for use in the treatment and prevention of diseases in mammals. The inhibitors of Id are effective alone in the treatment of a variety of cellular proliferative disorders including, but not limited to, diseases such as cancer, arthritis, age-related macular degeneration, psoriasis, neoplasms, angiomas, endometriosis, obesity, age-related macular degeneration, retinopathies, restenosis, scaring, fibrogenesis, fibrosis, cardiac remodeling, pulmonary fibrosis, scleroderma, failure associated with myocardial infarction, keloids, fibroid tumors and stenting. Additionally, these compounds are effective in blocking angiogenesis in tumor development, inducing apoptosis in malignant cells, inhibiting proliferation of cancer cells, increasing the effectiveness of chemotherapeutic agents, regulating transcriptional activity, reducing inflammation, increasing cellular differentiation, modulating ETS domain transcription factors, modulating PAX transcription factors, modulating TCF-ETS domain transcription factors, down regulating RAF-I /MAPK, upregulating JNK signaling pathways, and modulating cellular transformation.
