Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a vascular damaging effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human, which comprises administering to said animal an effective amount of ZD6126 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, before, after or simultaneously with an effective amount of one of the following therapies: i) ionizing radiation; ii) a platinum anti-tumor agent; and iii) a taxane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a vascular damaging effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human, which comprises administering to said animal an effective amount of ZD6126 or a pharmaceutically NHCOCH acceptable salt thereof, before, after or simultaneously with an effective amount of one of the following therapies: i) ionising radiation; ii) a platinum anti-tumour agent; and iii) a taxane. The invention also relates to the use of ZD6126 and one of the above therapies in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the production of a vascular damaging effect in a warm-blooded animal such as a human and to pharmaceutical compositions and kits each comprising ZD6126 and one of a platinum anti-tumour agent and a taxane.

Abstract: Colchinol derivatives of formula wherein R1, R2, R3 and R6 are each independently H, optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aralkyl, alkanoyl, PO3H2; X is carbonyl (CO), thiocarbonyl (CS), methylene (CH2) or a group CHR4; R4 is OH, O-alkyl or NR8R9; R5 and R7 are each independently H, alkyl, halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, nitro or amino; R8 is H, optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkanoyl, thioalkanoyl, aryl, heteroaryl, arylcarbonyl, heteroarylcarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, dialkylaminocarbonyl, arylaminocarbonyl, alkylsulphonyl, arylsulphonyl, aminosulphonyl, alkylaminosulphonyl, dialkylaminosulphonyl or arylaminosulphonyl; and R9 is H, alkyl or cycloalkyl; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof have been found to be useful for treatment of diseases involving angiogenesis. Some of these compounds are novel. Particularly preferred are those compounds in which R6 is PO3H2.
