  • Patent number: 6011047
    Abstract: The present invention provides peptide aldehydes having a 3-amino-2-hydroxyphyenyl-acetamide group as part of the peptide backbone and an arginine mimic group such as an amidinopiperidine or amidinophenyl tail. These compounds are potent and specific inhibitors of thrombin. Their pharmaceutically salts, pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof, and methods of using them as therapeutic agents for disease states in mammals characterized by abnormal thrombosis are also described. Also described are 3-amino-2-hydroxyphenyl-acetamide derivatives having inhibitory activity toward proteases of the trypsin/chymotrypsin class.

  • Patent number: 5776925
    Abstract: Methods for cancer chemosensitization are provided. Texaphyrins are new chemosensitizers for enhancing the cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents. The enhancement appears to be P-glycoprotein-independent since texaphyrins are effective in both a P-glycoprotein-expressing and a P-glycoprotein -nonexpressing cell line. Methods are provided for the treatment of cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, carcinoma, and sarcoma using a texaphyrin as a chemosensitizer.

  • Patent number: 5637619
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel 2-aminocarbonyl-1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)hydrazines and 2-aminocarbonyl-1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-methylhydrazines, and their use to treat malignant tumors. The agents are especially useful in the treatment of animal and human cancers. Two preferred agents in this class, especially for use in the treatment of tumors are 1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)-2-(2-chloroethyl)aminocarbonylhy drazine and 1,2-bis(methylsulfonyl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)-2-methylaminocarbonylhydrazine. These agents are characterized by the following: they are incapable of undergoing inactivation by the denitrosation mechanism proposed for the inactivation of the CNUs; they are incapable of generating a hydroxyethylating species by the mechanism proposed for the CNUs; and they are capable of chloroethylation or methylation and carbamoylation.
