Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising derivatives of NDGA, including M4N (tetra-O-methyl nordihydroguaiaretic acid) and sorafenib and their use in the inhibition and treatment of neoplastic diseases, such as liver cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, brain cancers and ovarian cancers, for example, in a subject. Compositions comprising derivatives of NDGA, including M4N, sorafenib and additional therapeutic agents are also provided.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for prevention and treatment of ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in the cardiac myocytes of a subject, by administration to the subject, a compound of formula I, or a salt, solvate, or stereoisomer thereof, in a sufficient amount either prior to, or during and/or after an ischemic event to mitigate or prevent IR injury to the cardiac tissue. Pharmaceutical compositions including the compound of formula I, or a salt, solvate, or stereoisomer thereof, and/or at least one additional therapeutic agent, are also provided.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composition comprising a derivative of NDGA and at least one metabolic modulator. The composition can be in a unit dose form or kit. The composition can comprise at least two metabolic modulators. Also disclosed are methods for achieving cytotoxicity, particularly of rapidly dividing cells such as cancer, by administering a composition of the invention. In various embodiments of the invention subjects with cancer achieve prolonged survival and/or diminution in the size of their malignancies and cancer metastasis.
