Abstract: Conjugates of porphyrins with chemotherapeutic agents are disclosed, as well as methods of making the conjugates and methods of treating patients with the conjugates. Porphyrin compounds, such as mesoporphyrin IX, can be covalently linked to chemotherapeutic compounds, such as doxorubicin. The resulting conjugates display decreased systemic toxicity, while preserving the antineoplastic effects of the chemotherapeutic agent. The conjugates are thus useful in treating cancer and other diseases marked by uncontrolled cell proliferation.

Abstract: Peptide conjugates in which cytocidal and cytostatic agents, such as polyamine analogs or naphthoquinones, are conjugated to a polypeptide recognized and cleaved by enzymes such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and cathepsin B are provided, as well as compositions comprising these conjugates. Methods of using these conjugates in the treatment of prostate diseases are also provided.

Abstract: Conformationally restricted polyamine compounds useful in treatment of cancer and other diseases marked by abnormal cell proliferation are disclosed. Improved methods of synthesizing such compounds are also disclosed. In one method of the invention, a carbene-bearing or carbene equivalent-bearing compound is reacted with the double bond of an alkene compound to form a cyclopropyl ring as the first step in the synthesis.
