  • Patent number: 7432302
    Abstract: Proliferative cutaneous disease states or conditions are treated by administering a polyamine transport inhibitor R-X-L-polyamine wherein R is a straight or branched C10-50 saturated or unsaturated aliphatic, carboxyalkyl, carbalkoxyalkyl, or alkoxy; a C1-8 alicyclic; a single or multiring aryl substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic; and aliphatic-substituted or unsubstituted single or multiring aromatic; a single or multiring heterocyclic; a single or multiring heterocyclic aliphatic; an aryl sulfonyl; X is —CO—, —SO2—, or —CH2—; and L is a covalent bond or a naturally occurring amino acid, lysine, ornithine, 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or prodrug thereof, and a polyamine biosynthesis inhibitor.

  • Patent number: 7144920
    Abstract: Novel polyamines, their synthesis and use in pharmacological, cosmetic or agricultural applications are provided. The polyamines induce antizyme production which in turn down regulates both the production of polyamines by omithine decarboxylase (ODC) and the transport of polyamines by its corresponding polyamine transporter. These compounds will preferably enter the cell independent of the polyamine transporter. As drugs, these compounds are used to treat any disease associated with cellular proliferation including but not limited to cancer.
