Abstract: This invention provides a method to identify compounds potentially useful for the treatment of neoplasia in mammals. The phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity of a compound is determined along with COX inhibitory activity. Growth inhibitory and apoptosis inducing effects on cultured tumor cells are also determined. Compounds that exhibit phosphodiesterase inhibiton, growth inhibition and apoptosis induction, but not substantial prostaglandin inhibitory activity, are desirable for the treatment of neoplasia.

Abstract: Benzothienopyrimidine derivatives for inducing or promoting apoptosis and for arresting uncontrolled neoplastic cell proliferation, and specifically for arresting and treating neoplasia, including precancerous and cancerous lesions of formula I: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, A, OA, alkenyl, alkynyl, --NO.sub.2, --CF.sub.3 or halogen, with the proviso that one of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is not hydrogen; R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, A, --OA, halogen, --NO.sub.2, --NH.sub.2, --NHA or --NAA', or R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are together form a moiety selected from the group consisting of --O--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --, --O--CH.sub.2 --O-- or --O--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.

Abstract: A method for selecting compounds for the treatment of neoplasia includes assessing whether the compounds cause an increase in PKG activity in the neoplasia of interest.
