Abstract: A method for improving the cytotoxic effect of Ecteinascidin-743 (ET-743) or an analog thereof on a tumor cell population in a patient the method including administering to the patient, sequentially or simultaneously, a therapeutically effective combination of a composition including ET-743 and an amount of a composition including a PARP-1 inhibitor effective to increase the cytotoxic effect of ET-743 on the tumor cell population. Anti-tumor compositions containing a therapeutically effective amount of ET-743 and an amount of a PARP-1 inhibitor effective to increase the tumor cytotoxicity of the ET-743 are also presented.

Abstract: A method of treating the human body for cancer comprises administering an effective therapeutic amount of a Pegylated Liposomal form of the anthracycline Doxorubicin (“PLD”), in combination with an effective therapeutic amount of ET-743

Abstract: We have found anti-inflammatory activity in the ecteinascidin compounds. Such compounds have been widely described, and may have the following general formula (I), wherein: R5 is OH, alkoxy or alkanoyloxy; R6 is hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or aryl; R12 is hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or aryl; R16 is hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or aryl; R17 is OH, alkoxy or alkanoyloxy; R18 is OH, alkoxy or alkanoyloxy; R21 is H, OH, CN or another nucleophilic group; and Ra is hydrogen and Rb is optionally substituted amino, or Ra with Rb form a carbonyl function ?O, or Ra, Rb and the carbon to which they are attached form a tetrahydroisoquinoline group.
