Abstract: Described herein are pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments, and methods of using such pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: N1,N4-bis(buta-1,3-dienyl)butane-1,4-diamine dihydrochloride (also referred to as MDL 72,527 and N,N?-di-2,3-butadienyl-1,4-butanediamine dihydrochloride), or salts or solvates thereof, its use as an antioxidant, its use in preventing and/or treating prostate cancer in male humans, and its use in reducing the concentration of reactive oxygen species in human prostate gland tissue or any other body tissue, and methods of making the compound thereof are disclosed. Other disclosed methods include inhibiting acetyl polyamine oxidase in human prostate tissue or other human body tissue comprising administering a therapeutic amount of N,N?-bis(2,3-butadienyl)-1,4-butanediamine or a salt or solvate thereof to the human, and a method of determining oxidative stress in human prostate tissue or other human or animal body tissue comprising measuring a ratio of oxidized 2?,7?-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate fluorescence:DNA fluorescence and hydroethidine dye fluorescence ex vivo or in vivo.

Abstract: The inventions disclosed include methods of treating cancers and related neoplasias, especially prostate cancer, with pharmaceutically acceptable salts comprising lipophilic cation moieties linked to nitroxide or linked to hydroxylamine anti-oxidant groups.

Abstract: Oligoamine compounds with anti-cancer and anti-proliferative activity are provided, as well as methods for making and using the compounds. The compounds are shown to be active against prostate cancer cell lines and against prostate cancer tumors in mice. The compounds are also useful in treatment of breast cancer and other cancers.

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.

Abstract: Novel conformationally restricted polyamine analogs are provided, as well as compositions comprising these novel polyamine analogs. Methods of using the novel polyamine analogs in treatment of diseases such as cancer are also provided. Also provided is a method of delivering these analogs specifically to tumor cells by covalently attaching polyamine analogs to porphyrin compounds, along with novel polyamine-porphyrin covalent conjugates.

Abstract: Porphyrin-polyamine conjugate compounds are disclosed which have anticancer and antitumor effects. The porphyrin moiety selectively localizes in tumors, while the polyamine moiety serves as a cytotoxic agent. Methods of making and using the porphyrin-polyamine conjugate compounds are also disclosed.
