Abstract: The present invention provides novel pharmaceutical formulations comprising derivatives of NDGA, including M4N (tetra-0-methyl nordihydroguaiaretic acid) and temozolomide and their use in the inhibition and treatment of neoplastic diseases, including glioblastoma multiforme, lung and other cancers.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, the immunoregulatory activity of low doses of P4N was investigated. Unlike previously described antitumor drugs, low dose P4N, in doses of about 1 to 10 mg/kg, or at concentrations of about 10 to 100 nM, was surprisingly found to contribute to humoral immunity by raising the titers and activities of autoantibodies against GRP78 and F1F0 ATP synthase on the surface of CT26 cells, and inducing B cell proliferation and differentiation of plasma cells. Methods for inducing B cell proliferation, inducing BAFF stimulated B cell proliferation, and suppressing or inhibition growth of a neoplasia are provided.

Methods for inducing endogenous antitumor autoantibodies (EAA) in a subject having a neoplasia comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of the nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) derivative P4N, or salts, solvates and stereoisomers thereof, as well as methods for inducing B cell proliferation, inducing BAFF stimulated B cell proliferation, and suppressing or inhibition growth of a neoplasia are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising derivatives of NDGA, including M4N (tetra-O-methyl nordihydroguaiaretic acid) and sorafenib and their use in the inhibition and treatment of neoplastic diseases, such as liver cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, brain cancers and ovarian cancers, for example, in a subject. Compositions comprising derivatives of NDGA, including M4N, sorafenib and additional therapeutic agents are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides kits, methods and compositions for the treatment of diseases such as cancers. The compositions herein contain a substantially pure preparation of at least one catecholic butane, including, for example, NDGA compounds in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. The catecholic butane such as NDGA or its derivatives are administered to one or more subjects in need of treatment by a route other than direct injection into the affected tissues or topical application on affected tissues.
