  • Patent number: 10378059
    Abstract: This invention provides methods, pharmacodynamics biomarker signatures for multiple signaling pathways in a cell sample such as anagen hair, in response to carboxyamidotriazole orotate (CTO) from a subject. CTO has demonstrated response in several cancers having different genomic mutations in clinical studies. This invention provides a diagnostic and prognostic assay for monitoring response to CTO ranging from ?100 fold to +25 fold differential expression in several transcriptional signatures associated with tumor inhibition including EGFR, MEK, HDAC, RAS, GFS, WNT, HSP90 or non-voltage dependent calcium signaling, while inducing tumor suppressors signatures such as P53 or EGR1 in the anagen hair assay.

  • Patent number: 8912223
    Abstract: New polymorphs of 5-amino or substituted amino 1,2,3-triazole and substituted derivatives thereof, of orotates of the carboxyamidotriazoles, of formulations of the triazoles and orotic acid in the ratio of 1:1 to 1:4 (base:acid) and of safer processes of the preparation of the same are disclosed. The compounds are useful in the control and treatment of diseases including, but not limited to solid cancers, macular degeneration, retinopathy, chronic myeloid leukemia, AIDS and diseases which rely on aberrant signal transduction. The improved processes to prepare the orotate formulations use stable, efficient and safer starting azide intermediate materials in the synthesis of new polymorphs of carboxyamidotriazole.

  • Patent number: 8148339
    Abstract: This invention is in the field of chemical restructuring of pharmaceutical agents known to cause tissue toxicity as a side effect, by producing their orotate salts. More particularly, it concerns orotate salts of the anthracyclines, doxorubicin and daunorubicin, that are found to reduce levels of the pharmaceutical agent in noncancerous tissues. The orotate salts are equally efficacious in inhibiting the SCCAKI-1 kidney tumor in animals and the reduction in the heart tissue of doxorubicin compared with doxorubicin HCl suggests a reduction in toxicity induced by free radical generation by the anthracyclines.

  • Patent number: 8034823
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the method of increasing the oral bioavailability, reducing chemotherapy induced toxicity and side effects, and improving the effectiveness of pharmaceutical agents that are poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Specifically, the invention relates to poorly absorbed pharmaceutical drugs and converting them to orotate salts. The orotate salts of the drugs can be dosed at lower doses to provide the efficacy benefits of a higher dose, while reducing the drugs' toxic effects at lower doses. Additionally, the orotate salts of pharmaceutical agents have better clearance and reduce the potential for drug-induced hepatic toxicity. Therefore, an especially useful formulation of the orotate salt of the pharmaceutical agent can provide rapid and consistent action using a lower dose while reducing drug interactions and side-effects.
