Abstract: Provided herein are phenyl-guanidine derivatives for the inhibition of Rac1 which blocks its interaction with guanosine exchange factors (GEFs) belonging to the DBL family as agents for the treatment of aggressive and/or resistant tumors, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, their use in therapy and processes for their preparation.

Abstract: This invention is related to a pharmaceutical combination that contains a Casein kinase 2 (CK2) peptide inhibitor (termed P15) along with the standard chemotherapeutic drugs used in cancer treatment and which are administered together, separated or sequentially. The chemotherapeutic drugs include cisplatin, taxol, alkaloids from Vinca, 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, mitomycin C, imatinib, iressa, velcade (bortezomib), cytarabine (Ara C), fludarabine and mitroxantrone. The synergism between the P15 peptide and the anticancer drugs achieves an efficient concentration of each cytostatic drug in the combination which is from 10- to 100-fold lower than that for each cytostatic drug alone. The pharmaceutical combination described in this invention exhibits lower toxicity compared to that reported by the anticancer therapeutics and therefore, it represents a crucial advantage for its use in cancer therapy.
