Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating mammalian diseases or conditions characterized by undesirable angiogenesis by administering an effective amount of a compound of the formulae: wherein Ra is selected from —OCH3, —OCH2CH3 or —CCCH3; and Z is selected from >C(H)—OH, >C(H)—O-alkyl, >C(H)—O-sulfamate, or >C(H)-dioxolane, where alkyl is a linear, branched and/or cyclic hydrocarbon chain comprising 1 to 10 carbons.

Abstract: Compositions and methods comprising proteinase activated receptor antagonists are provided. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of proteins, peptides and molecules that bind to proteinase activated receptor 2, and inhibit the processes associated with the activation of that receptor. More specifically, the present invention provides novel compositions and methods for the treatment of disorders and diseases such as those associated with abnormal cellular proliferation, angiogenesis, inflammation and cancer.

Abstract: 2-methoxyestradiol having greater than 98% purity is obtained by synthetic or purification methods. This highly pure 2-methoxy estradiol, lacking estrogenic components, is particularly suitable for clinical use in humans. The purification methods of the invention involve the use of liquid-solid chromatography (LSC) to separate 2-ME2 from other compounds. The chromatographic media is preferably silica. The solvent system comprises a non-polar solvent, such as chloroform, and a polar solvent, such as methanol.
