  • Publication number: 20140205595
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention that the novel nicotinic receptor antagonists disclosed herein may be used in a broad array of clinical or medicinal facets. For example, it is a contemplated use of the present invention that the novel nicotinic receptor antagonists be used to inhibit the growth cycle of non-small cell lung cancer cells. Without being bound by theory, it is an object of the present invention that the nicotinic receptor antagonists disclosed herein are believed to possess reversible binding properties. Moreover, the compounds of the present invention are selective for 0.7 nAChR. For example, the compounds of the present invention are not believed to bind to 0.4 (32 nAChR neuromuscular receptors. It is also contemplated that the nicotinic receptor antagonists of the present invention will be used as a counter measure to treat exposure, or potential exposure, to a wide array of potential neurotoxins.

    Abstract: Inositol trisphosphate (ITPP) causes normalization of tumor vasculature and is a particularly effective cancer therapy when a second chemotherapeutic agent is administered following partial vascularization. ITPP also treats, alone or in combination, multi-drug resistant cancers. ITPP can also be used to reduce the amount of a second chemotherapeutic drug required for anticancer activity. In addition, ITPP enhances immune response and treats hyperproliferative disorders.
