Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel zinc ionophores, zinc chelators and/or zinc complexes with enhanced aqueous solubility. Methods of treating cancer using at least one zinc ionophore and/or zinc chelator are also disclosed. Also disclosed herein are compositions and methods for treating cancer with combination therapy using at least one texaphyrin metal complex and at least one zinc ionophore or the respective pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives or salts thereof.

Abstract: Described herein are methods of treating cancer by administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one texaphyrin metal complex or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative, and performing stereotactic radiosurgery to the patient. In some embodiments, at least one texaphyrin metal complex or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative is administered while the patient is undergoing a radiation therapy. Also described herein are methods for detecting various cancerous tumors, lesions, or metastases in a patient by administering an effective amount of at least one texaphyrin metal complex or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative before a patient undergoes stereotactic radiosurgery. Also described herein are methods for visualizing tumors not otherwise visualized; methods for detecting the margins of a tumor; and methods for improving the targeting of the SRS radiation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the mesylate salt of 5-(2-dimethylamino-ethoxy)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid [3-(4-hydroxycarbamoylphenyl)prop-2-ynyl]amide, pharmaceutical compositions and processes for preparing the same.

Abstract: A packaging system is described for a drug that provides protection from contamination, crystallization and/or degradation of the drug during storage of the system prior to its use. The packaging of the drug does not significantly absorb, react with, or otherwise adversely affect the therapeutic effectiveness of the drug or other excipients or components during storage of the system prior to its use. The packaging system is also used for preserving a drug, particularly a drug containing high-purity texaphyrin metal complexes, by providing a product packaging system that prevents, limits or otherwise controls degradation reactions that can result from exposure to oxygen and/or light.

Abstract: Novel coordination polymers, their pharmaceutical formulations, useful for treating atheroma, tumors and other neoplastic tissue, as well as other conditions that are responsive to the induction of targeted oxidative stress, are disclosed.

Abstract: Compounds, pharmaceutical formulations and methods for use in neutron capture therapy are provided, useful for treating diseases characterized by neoplastic tissue and arteriosclerosis.

Abstract: The present invention provides certain non-symmetric tripyrranes; that is, tripyrranes that do not contain a mirror plane of symmetry perpendicular to the plane containing the tripyrrane. Further, the invention includes texaphyrin compounds and sapphyrin compounds, as well as other polypyrrolic macrocycles, prepared using tripyrranes of Formula I as a precursor. These macrocycles are characterized by a tripyrrolic portion of the macrocyclic ring having substituents that cause the heterocycle to lack a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the plane of the macrocycle.

Abstract: Injectible formulations comprising motexafin gadolinium are described herein.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise computer-based tools facilitating visualization and assessment of progression of neurological disorders in a patient. In one embodiment, data is received in the form of the results of standardized neurological examination of the patient. This input is compared to a rule set defining progression of the disorder, and the results of this comparison are displayed in an electronic document featuring internal links. The data may be displayed as tables and/or charts, with elapsed time plotted along a row/column or axis, respectively. Progression indication may be displayed through changed color. The electronic document can also display data not directly relevant to neurological condition, for example medication and radiation treatment schedules. By automatically displaying the data and the derived progression assessment according to the rule set, embodiments of the present invention are of particularly use in rapidly and uniformly evaluating treatment therapies.
