Abstract: There is provided modulators of Nrf2 protein which comprises a compound which binds at least one of the BTB domain, IVR domain and Kelch domain of Keap1 protein, activating or inhibiting Nrf2. There is also provided pharmaceutical compositions containing the modulators, as well as uses and method of use of the modulators for the treatment of conditions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the following compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compound is a modulator of Nrf2 protein and binds at least one of the BTB domain, IVR domain and Kelch domain of Keap1 protein, activating or inhibiting Nrf2.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the synthesis of a series of ionone and curcumin derivatives as multi-targeting agents effective against both hormone-sensitive and hormone-independent cancers. In particular, the present invention is directed to a distinct class of bifunctional antiandrogens, which inhibit both AR and IKBkinases (IKK). A series of ionone-based chalcones were synthesized and their in vitro cytotoxicity against prostate cancer cell lines were demonstrated. A series of derivatives formed by reacting ionone-based chalcones and hydrazines demonstrate substantial antiproliferative activities in prostate cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer cell lines.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating cancer by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a fixed, non-antagonistic molar ratio of irinotecan and floxuridine. Such methods are particularly useful in the treatment of cancer patients with advanced solid tumors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an Extract of Echinops spinosus L (Asteraceae) and organic solvent soluble fractions of the extract that may be used in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tumor-specific promoter for use in gene targeted therapy that is selectively activated in cancer cells, which comprises a Hex II promoter. The present invention also relates to a gene construct, which include a Hex II promoter in a vector selected from a basic expression vector, a shuttle plasmid, an adenovirus type 5 recombinant vector and a lipid-based delivery system.

Abstract: (R)-Ifosfamide is administered as a cytotoxic drug, in order to minimize side effects. (S)-Ifosfamide may be administered subsequently.
