  • Publication number: 20060041013
    Abstract: Stable liquid formulations of the anti-tumor agent L-alanosine are described. These formulations preferably comprise L-alanosine in an aqueous environment having a basic pH, preferably in the range of about pH 8-9. The alanosine formulations and compositions disclosed herein can be used for various purposes, including the treatment of various cancers, particularly those that are deficient in methylthioadenosine phophorylase (MTAP) enzymatic activity. Also described are methods for the treatment of diseases susceptible to treatment with alanosine, e.g., certain cancers, particularly those characterized by tumor cells that are MTAP deficient, wherein a patient is administered L-alanosine, alone or as part of a combination therapy with a second chemotherapeutic agent.

  • Publication number: 20050154010
    Abstract: Cancers, particularly solid tumors (e.g., breast, lung, renal, colon and ovarian cancers and melanomas) and cancers of the hematologic system, e.g., hemopoietic cancers such as leukemias, lymphomas or myelomas, are treated by administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound having the formula (1): (I)in which the quinoline ring is substituted by from one to three groups selected from halogen and trifluoromethyl (designated in the formula by “A”), and is optionally further substituted by one or more other moieties and R is (a) NR1R2 in which R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl; (b) 2-piperidyl, (c) 2-pyridyl, and (d) 5-(ethyl or vinyl)-quinuclidin-4-yl; an enantiomer of such a compound; a pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such a compound or of an enantiomer thereof; a prodrug of such a compound or of an enantiomer thereof; a metabolite of such a compound or of an enantiomer thereof; and mixtures of two or more of the foregoing.

  • Patent number: 6162810
    Abstract: A new family of inadone and tetralone tubulin-binding compounds (TBs) is disclosed. Unlike classical TBs, which inhibit mitosis among affected dividing cells, the TBs of the invention possess two unique properties: (1) they induce apoptosis among stationary phase (non-dividing) malignant cells, yet do not impair the viability of normal nonproliferating cells; and, (2) they affect cells which have acquired MDR more powerfully than they affect cells without MDR. Thus, the TBs of the invention provide means to target malignant cells for chemotherapy, even after previous therapies have failed, without affecting normal cells and tissues in the host.
