Abstract: Chimeric proteins comprising soluble Tissue Factor (sTF) and another subunit (e.g., annexin V) are described. The proteins promote blood clotting and/or inhibit cancer by targeting sTF to specific receptors such as phosphatidylserine (PS) on activated cells. These chimeric proteins are useful in treating patients with excessive bleeding due to inborn problems, drug therapy, trauma or surgery and/or as an anti-cancer therapy, for example by causing blood vessels feeding cancers to become clotted, thereby preventing adequate flow of blood to a tumor, which in turn will lead to tumor inhibition and death or may be used in a therapy to cause clotting within blood vessels that pose a threat in the subject in non-cancerous conditions.

Abstract: This invention relates to anti-cancer uses of ionophores of which clioquinol (5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline) is a prototype drug. The present invention is further directed toward using ionophores such as clioquinol alone, or in combination with metals (e.g., zinc or copper, manganese) as anti-cancer and anti-angiogenic agents. This invention further relates to the potentiation of the anti-cancer properties of polyunsaturated fatty acids when used in conjunction with the ionophores of the present invention. The invention is also directed to the therapeutic or prophylactic use of pharmaceutical compositions containing the ionophores of the present invention, and to methods of treating cancer as well as other disease states associated with unwanted angiogenesis and/or cellular proliferation, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, by administering effective amounts of such compounds.
