Benefits of technology

The combination of naphthalimides with antiproliferative agents demonstrates a more than additive effect in inhibiting tumor growth, increasing tumor volume quadrupling time, and enhancing the chemotherapeutic response, thereby improving treatment outcomes for various cancers.

Problems solved by technology

Metal coordination compounds such as cisplatin and carboplatin similarly directly attack the nucleic acid structure resulting in lesions that are difficult for the cells to repair which, in turn, can result in cell death.
Other nucleic acid affecting, compounds include anthracycline molecules such as doxorubicin, which intercalates between the nucleic acid base pairs of DNA polymers, bleomycin, which causes nucleic acid strand breaks, fraudulent nucleosides such as pyrimidine and purine nucleoside analogs, which are inappropriately incorporated into nucleic polymer structures and ultimately cause premature DNA chain termination.
Certain enzymes that affect the integrity and functionality of the genome can also be inhibited in cancer cells by specific chemical agents and result in cancer cell death.

Chemopotentiation of Cisplatin by Amonafide

[0057] Transplantable experimental murine fibrosarcomas (2×105 RIF-1 cells) were grown intradermally in the flanks of 3 month old female C3H mice (Charles River, Holister, Calif.). When the tumors reached a volume of approximately 100 mm3, the mice were randomly assigned to each experimental group (4 mice per group).

[0058] The experimental compositions were prepared as described in Table 2.

[0059] The chemopotentiator, amonafide, was obtained from NCI and was made to the appropriate concentration in DMSO. Cisplatin (David Bull Laboratories-Mulgrave, Australia, lot. 5201844x) was made to the appropriate concentration in water for injection. The compositions were injected systemically (i.e., intraperitoneally, i.p.), in a volume of 100 microliters. For the treatment of group 3, the chemopotentiator, amonafide, was injected 30 minutes ...

EFFECT OF AMONAFIDE, ALONE AND IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER CHEMOTHERAPEUTICS ON RIF-1 TUMOR GROWTH IN C3H MICE

[0063] The RIF-1 murine fibrosarcoma tumor model was used to evaluate the antitumor activity of amonafide, alone and in combination with various antiproliferative agents. The antiproliferative agents used include those that affect nucleic acid (e.g., DNA) integrity (e.g., cisplatin, etoposide, 5-fluorouracil), agents that affect structural or cytoplasmic proteins or their synthesis (e.g., homoharringtonine, paclitaxel, vinblastine, colchicine, curcumin or parthenolide).

[0064] Amonafide-NCI was obtained from NCI as a powder. Amonafide-Penta was obtained from Penta Biotech (Union City, Calif.), Lot No. 039-01, as a powder. Cisplatin for Injection, USP, was obtained from David Bull Labs (Mulgrave, Australia), Lot No. 5201844x, as a lypholized powder. Paclitaxel was obtained from Bristol Myers Squibb Co. (Princeton, N.J.), Lot No. 9J16241, exp. September 2001, prediluted to 6 mg / ...

Effect of Amonafide in Combination with Camptothecin, Genistein or Rosmarinic Acid on RIF-1 Tumor Growth in C3H Mice.

[0087] Transplantable experimental murine fibrosarcomas (2×105 RIF-1 cells) were grown intradermally in the flanks of 3 month old female C3H mice (Charles River, Holister, Calif.). When the tumors reached a volume of −100 mm3, the mice were randomly assigned to each experimental group (4 mice per group).

Abstract

A method of treatment of a host with a cellular proliferative disease, comprising contacting the host with a naphthalimide and an antiproliferative agent, each in an amount sufficient to modulate said cellular proliferative disease, is described. In some embodiments, the naphthalimide comprises amonafide (5-amino-2-[2-(dimethylamine)ethyl]-1H-benz[de-]isoquinoline-1,3-(2H)-dione). Antiproliferative agents of the invention comprise alkylating agents, intercalating agents, metal coordination complexes, pyrimidine nucleosides, purine nucleosides, inhibitors of nucleic acid associated enzymes and proteins, and agents affecting structural proteins and cytoplasmic enzymes. The invention comprises the described methods as well as compositions and kits comprising a naphthalimide and an antiproliferative agent.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The technical field of the invention is the use of naphthalimides with antiproliferative agents to treat a host with a cellular proliferative disease. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] There is considerable interest in modulating the efficacy of currently used antiproliferative agents to increase the rates and duration of antitumor effects associated with conventional antineoplastic agents. [0003] Conventional antiproliferative agents used in the treatment of cancer are broadly grouped as (1) chemical compounds which affect the integrity of nucleic acid polymers by binding, alkylating, inducing strand breaks, intercalating between base pairs or affecting enzymes which maintain the integrity and function of DNA and RNA; (2) chemical agents that bind to proteins to inhibit enzymatic action (e.g., antimetabolites) or the function of structural proteins necessary for cellular integrity (e.g., antitubulin agents). Other chemical compounds that have been ide...
