514183, 514645
Abstract:
This invention generally relates to novel compositions and methods for the treatment of certain cancers. Additionally, this invention relates to novel compositions and methods to screen drugs for the treatment of certain cancers. Specifically, the invention contemplates that temozolomide and methoxyamine, in combination or in sequence, shall be used as a treatment for certain tumors that are resistant to treatment by temozolomide alone.
Methoxyamine Combinations In The Treatment Of Cancer
This invention generally relates to novel compositions and methods for the treatment of certain cancers. Additionally, this invention relates to novel compositions and methods to screen drugs for the treatment of certain cancers. Specifically, the invention contemplates that temozolomide and methoxyamine, in combination or in sequence, shall be used as a treatment for certain tumors that are resistant to treatment by temozolomide alone. Additionally, methoxyamine is contemplated for methods of treatment of cancer, wherein methoxyamine is used, in combination or in sequence, with other anticancer drugs or agents.
Alkylating Agent Combinations In The Treatment Of Cancer
This application provides compositions and methods useful in the treatment of certain cancers. In part, this application is based on the recognition that certain molecules that target abasic lesions or AP sites in DNA improve, augment, or potentiate the chemotherapeutic efficacy of certain anticancer agents.

International Classification:
C12Q 1/68 C07H 21/00
US Classification:
435 61, 536 221
Abstract:
A method of measuring the efficacy of an anticancer agent in generating abasic (AP) sites in DNA of cancer cells of a subject includes administering to the subject an anticancer agent that generates AP sites in at least one cancer cell and an AP endonuclease inhibitor probe. The AP endonuclease inhibitor probe includes a detection moiety for detecting the probe in the subject. The amount of probe bound to cancer cells of the subject is then measured. The amount of probe bound to cancer cells of the subject is indicative of efficacy of the anticancer agent in generating AP sites in cancer cells of the subject.
Assay For Measurement Of Apurinic/Apyrimidinic (Ap) Sites And For Screening Ap-Site Reactive Compounds
Yan Xu - Solon OH, US Stanton Gerson - Hunting Valley OH, US Lili Liu - Macedonia OH, US
International Classification:
C12Q 1/68
US Classification:
435 6
Abstract:
A method of detecting abasic (AP) sites in DNA from a subject includes isolating a sample of DNA from a subject under examination, contacting the DNA with a fluorescent aldehyde reactive probe (FARP), and detecting FARP labeled AP sites in the DNA sample.
Mgmt Inhibitor Combination For The Treatment Of Neoplastic Disorders
A method of treating a neoplastic disease in a subject includes administering to neoplastic cells of the subject an MGMT inhibitor and at least one of an antimitotic agent or a DNA damaging agent.
Antimetabolite Agent Combinations In The Treatment Of Cancer

US Classification:
514 49, 514 43
Abstract:
A method treating cancer in a subject comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antimetabolite agent that induces formation of AP sites in cancer cells of the subjects and an amount AP endonuclease inhibitor effective to potentiate the cytotoxicity of the antimetabolite agent to the cancer cells.
