Thiazolidinedione compounds, compositions, and methods of inhibiting telomerase activity in vitro and treatment of telomerase mediated conditions or diseases ex vivo and in vivo are provided. The methods, compounds and compositions of the invention may be employed alone, or in combination with other pharmacologically active agents in the treatment of conditions or diseases mediated by telomerase activity, such as in the treatment of cancer. Also disclosed are novel methods for assaying or screening for inhibitors of telomerase activity.

Geron Corporation - Menlo Park CA Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center - New York NY
International Classification:
A16K 48/00
US Classification:
514 44, 536 245, 435325, 435375
Abstract:
A method and kit for inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells are disclosed, based on a combination of a proteasome inhibitor and a telomerase inhibitor. When used in cancer therapy, the two compounds in combination enhance the anti-cancer treatment efficacy obtained with the proteasome inhibitor alone or the telomerase inhibitor alone. Preferably, efficacy is supraadditive or synergistic in nature relative to the combined effects of the individual agents, with minimal exacerbation of side effects.

The present disclosure relates to hair-treatment compositions, which are particularly useful for providing styling, hair manageability, hair care, and conditioning properties to hair. The hair-treatment compositions typically include: (a) about 1 to about 3 wt. % of one or more vegetable oils; (b) about 2 to about 4 wt. % of one or more solid fatty alcohols; (c) 1 wt. % or less of one or more nonionic surfactants; (d) one or more non-silicone shine enhancers; (e) one or more amidoamines: (f) one or more acids; and (g) water. The unique combination of ingredients results in a product having a milky appearance and a fluid viscosity. Kits comprising the hair-treatment compositions and methods of treating hair using the hair-treatment compositions are also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to cleansing compositions, which are free of sulfates and ethoxylated surfactants. Methods for making and using the cleansing compositions are also described. The cleansing compositions include: (a) at least 3 wt. % of one or more nonionic surfactant(s) that are not fatty esters; (b) one or more fatty ester(s); (c) one or more non-ethoxylated, sulfate-free anionic surfactant(s); and (d) two or more thickening agents. The cleansing compositions exhibit quality cleansing activity, impart pleasant conditioning benefits, and have a desired viscosity and foam properties.
