Benefits of technology

[0007] The invention describes methods for (a) treating skin cancer; (b) treating cancer of an organ; (c) treating leukemia; and (d) improving the efficacy of chemotherapy, radiation therapy and/or cancer immunotherapy in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of at least one 2,5-dihydroxybenzene sulfonic acid compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The methods can optionally further comprise the administration of at least one therapeutic agent, such as, for example, chemotherapeutic agents, steroids, retinoids, antimicrobial compounds, antioxidants

Problems solved by technology

The overall five-year survival approximates fifty percent for all patients, and the prognosis remains particularly poor for those with advanced solid tumors.
Currently there is no cure for psoriasis

2,5-Dihydroxybenzene Sulfonic Acid Potentiates Chemotherapy

[0135] C6 cells cultured in vitro under the same conditions as described in PCT Application No. 2005 / 077352. 1. 1×103 cells per well were cultured in 24-well plates. Three types of treatment were conducted: a) 24 hours after seeding, the cells were separately treated with each of the following medicines; cisplatin (5 μg / ml), vincristine (0.1 μg / ml), paclitaxel (5 μg / ml) and 5-fluorouracil (100 g / ml); b) 24 hours after seeding, the cells were treated with a combination of 2,5-dihydroxybenzene sulfonic acid (100 μM) and each one of the following agents; cisplatin (5 μg / ml) vincristine (0.1 μg / ml), paclitaxel (5 μg / ml) and 5-fluorouracil (100 μg / ml); c) at the time of seeding (Day 0), the cells were pre-treated with 2,5-dihydroxybenzene sulfonic acid (100 μM). The next day the cultures were also treated with each one of the following agents: cisplatin (5 μg / ml) vincristine (0.1 μg / ml), paclitaxel (5 μg / ml) and 5-fluorouracil (...

2,5-Dihydroxybenzene Sulfonate Increases the Chemo Sensitivity in Rat C6 Glioma Cells

[0138] Cultures of rat glioma C6 cells were grown as described in Cuevas P et al. Neurol. Res., 27: 797-800 (2005). Briefly, cells were grown as adherent cells in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium supplemented with 1% (v / v) fatal bovine serum, 10 μg / ml streptomycin and 10 units / ml penicillin (DMEM). Tumour cells were set up in 24-well cell culture plates, at a density of 10,000 cells per well and incubated at 37° C. in a humidified chamber with 5% CO2. Cells were either treated with 2,5-dihydroxybenzene sulfonate (100 μM in DMEM) or with DMEM (controls). Eighty hours after the addition of 2,5-dihydroxybenzene sulfonate, the cells were either treated or not treated with the cytostatic agents, cisplatin (5 μg / ml in DMEM), vincristine (0.5 μg / ml in DMEM), paclitaxel (5 μg / ml in DMEM), 5-fluorouracil (100 μg / ml in DMEM) and irinotecan (CPT-11; 0.1 μg / ml in DMEM). After an additional two days the prolifera...

2,5-Dihydroxybenzene Sulfonate Increases the Efficacy of Irinotecan (CPT-11) in Rat Glioma

[0140] Cultures of rat glioma C6 cells were grown as described in Cuevas P et al. Neurol. Res., 27: 797-800 (2005). Confluent C6 cells cultured in 75 cm2 flasks were detached and implanted into the left frontal lobe of anaesthetized rats using a stereotactic device. The implantation of the 106 glioma cells was accomplished by means of a Hamilton syringe coupled to a glass pipette (40-60 μm in diameter) through a small orifice performed in the cranium by a stainless steel needle. FIG. 3, panels A, B and C shows the magnetic resonance image of the rat brain two weeks after implantation. Ten days after the existence of a tumour was confirmed, rats were randomly assigned to receive or not receive 2,5-dihydroxybenzene sulfonate (200 mg / kg / day in saline; i.p) throughout the period of observation. Two days after starting the treatment with 2,5-dihydroxybenzene sulfonate, the rats were treated with ir...
