Abstract: The present invention relates to combinations of compounds such as compounds of the xanthenone acetic acid class such as 5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) and vascular endothelial growth factor binders, in particular the monoclonal antibody Avastin™ (bevacizumab). More particularly, the invention is concerned with the use of such combinations in the treatment of cancer and pharmaceutical formulations containing such combinations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to combinations of the xanthenone acetic acids class such as 5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) and EGFR signalling pathway inhibitors. More particularly, the invention is concerned with the use of such combinations in the treatment of cancer and pharmaceutical compositions containing such combinations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a 3,6,9 acridine compound and optionally substituted derivatives thereof that may be useful in the treatment of cancer. The invention also provides compositions comprising the compounds and uses thereof. Formula (I) wherein each of R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 is either fluorine or is not present (i.e. represents a hydrogen atom); n represents 1 or 2.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to acridone and acridine compounds of formula (I), wherein either: (a) K is ?O, L is —H, alpha is a single bond, beta is a double bond, gamma is a single bond (acridones): or, (b) K is a 9-substituent. L is absent, alpha is a double bond, beta is a single bond, gamma is a double bond and wherein: J1 is a 2- or 3-substituent; J2 is a 6- or 7-substituent; J1 and J2 are each independently a group of the formula —NHCO(CH2)nNR1R2, wherein: n is an integer from 1 to 5; and, R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen, C1-7alkyl, C3-20heterocyclyl, or C5-20aryl, or R1 and R2, taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, form a heterocyclic ring having from 3 to 8 ring atoms; and wherein, when K is a 9-substituent, K is a group of the formula —N(RN)Q, wherein: RN is an amino substituent and is hydrogen.

Abstract: This invention pertains to certain acridine and acridine compounds of the formula (1) which inhibit telomerase, regulate cell proliteration, etc., and/or treat cancer proliferative conditions, etc.
