Embodiment 1

[0888] Exposure of abnormally proliferating cells to a Chk1 inhibitor following substantial cell cycle synchronization with a Chk1 activator in an animal model of small cell lung cancer exhibits better antiproliferative activity than coadministration

[0889] The methods of the invention provide superior anti-proliferative effects of concurrent administration in in vitro tumor models known in the art. In this experiment, gemcitabine was used as a Chk1 activator, and a diaryl urea compound according to Keegan et al., PCT / US02 / 06452, was used as a selective Chk1 inhibitor (the same Chk1 inhibitor used in Examples 2-11 ). The target phase of gemcitabine is the S phase of the cell cycle. Non-small cell lung tumor xenograft tumor model H460 is a well-known in vitro tumor model.

[0890] Nude mice were implanted with H460 tumor cells and allowed to grow to an average of 75 mm3. Tumor-bearing mice were then treated with vehicle, gemcitabine, or gemcitabine + 400 mg / kg selective Ch...

Embodiment 2

[0893] Exposure of abnormally proliferating cells to Chk1 inhibitors reduces the required exposure time to Chk1 inhibitors following substantial cell cycle synchronization with Chk1 activators in the mitotic index assay

[0894] Chkl inhibitors are tested in cell-based proliferation assays conferring the ability to increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to ionizing radiation or chemotherapeutic agents. Chk1 inhibitors were compared with 5-FU, gemcitabine, ionizing radiation, camptothecin, etoposide, hydroxyurea, cisplatin, fludarabine, Ara-C, and aphidicolin. Union is used for testing. For each experiment, serial dilutions of each compound were included in combination with ten-point dilutions of each chemotherapeutic agent to determine the chemotherapeutic agent required to inhibit cell growth by 90% (GI90) in the presence and absence of a Chk1 inhibitor concentration. The ratio of GI90 in the presence of the Chk1 inhibitor to the GI90 in the absence of the Chk1 inhibitor i...

Embodiment 3

[0899] Exposure of abnormally proliferating cells to a Chk1 inhibitor following substantial cell cycle synchronization with a Chk1 activator in an animal model of colon cancer exhibits better antiproliferative activity than coadministration

[0900] Transplant HT29 colon cancer cells into nude mice, and let the tumor grow to 200mm within 10 days 3 . Mice bearing HT-29 tumors were then treated with vehicle, 600 mg / kg Chk1 inhibitor (p.o.), 160 mg / kg gemcitabine (i.p.), or concurrent administration of gemcitabine and Chk1 inhibitor. Alternatively, mice were pretreated with gemcitabine for 24 hours, given the Chk1 inhibitor on the second day, and rested on the third day. This treatment protocol was repeated four times. This dosing regimen combines the MTD administration of gemcitabine (160 mg / kg q3d×4, that is, 4 doses are given, one dose per day, given at intervals of 3 days) and the gemcitabine pretreatment regimen.

[0901] Tumors were measured every 2-3 days until reaching...

Abstract

The present invention relates to improved methods for inhibiting aberrant cell proliferation involving the scheduling of administration of Chk1 activators (e.g., chemotherapeutic agents) and Chk1 inhibitors. At least one Chk1 activator is administered at a dose and for a time sufficient to induce substantial synchronization of cell cycle arrest in proliferating cells. Upon achieving substantial phase synchronization, at least one Chk1 inhibitor is administered to abrogate the cell cycle arrest and induce therapeutic cell death. The invention is useful with any Chk1 activator and any Chk1 inhibitor, and finds application in treating or preventing cancerous and non-cancerous aberrant cell proliferation.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to methods of inhibiting abnormal cell proliferation using chemotherapeutic agents and Chk1 inhibitors. Background of the invention [0002] An important goal of health care is the development and availability of safer and more effective drugs and drug combinations for the treatment of abnormally proliferating cells, for example for the treatment of cancer. Most antiproliferative therapies, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, work by disrupting essential processes such as DNA metabolism, DNA synthesis, DNA transcription, and microtubule spindle function, or by disrupting chromosomal structural integrity by introducing DNA damage sex. However, these processes affect both normal and abnormally proliferating (eg tumor) cells. Because maintenance of DNA integrity in normal cells is essential for cell survival, anticancer drugs have the lowest therapeutic index (ie, the highest ratio of damage to normal cells to tumor...
