  • Publication number: 20170151240
    Abstract: Chemotherapy remains of limited use for the treatment of prostate cancer with only one drug, docetaxel, demonstrating a modest survival advantage for treatment of late-stage disease. Data from the NCI 60 cell line screen indicated that the castration-resistant prostate cancer cell lines PC3 and DU145 were more sensitive than average to the novel polymeric fluoropyrimidine (FP), F10, despite displaying less than average sensitivity to the widely-used FP, 5FU. In an embodiment of the present invention, F10 treatment of PC3 xenografts results in a significant survival advantage (treatment to control ratio (T/C) days=18; p<0.001; n=16) relative to control mice treated with saline. F10 (40 mg/kg/dose) was administered via jugular vein catheterization 3-times per week for five weeks. This aggressive dosing regimen was completed with no drug-induced weight loss and with no evidence of toxicity.

  • Publication number: 20170151265
    Abstract: Model and method of treating inflammatory diseases. Traditional treatments for such diseases include administering to the patient toxic and-inflammatory drugs. Following stabilization of the symptoms, the drug doses are tapered down to minimize side effects, as a result of which inflammation remains high and the disease is rarely cured. A chemistry-based disease model concludes that irrespective of the role that inflammation plays in the disease, inflammation reduction will impede disease initiation and progression. Managing and controlling inflammatory diseases requires reducing inflammation to acceptable normal values. Non-toxic ways such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-inflammatory diets, and regular exercise allow such reduction in inflammation to normal values, thereby slowing down or arresting disease progression and allowing the discontinuation or reduction of toxic anti-inflammatory therapy while maintaining low inflammation using non-toxic therapy.
