AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method or composition that can reduce the side effect of diarrhea caused by the use of ATP analogues. The method or composition can also reduce the severity of the diarrhea. This is useful in reducing the risk of diarrhea and hand-foot syndrome in patients who need to use ATP analogues for medical purposes.

Problems solved by technology

To date, a satisfactory explanation for TKI-induced diarrhea has not been provided.
Many clinical studies have tried combining nucleoside analogs with TKIs for improved cancer treatment and most of these studies have failed.
The above limitations in conventional chemotherapy can result in problematic side effects and, consequently, dose reductions.
Additionally, there may be off-target effects of TKIs and other protein inhibitors that confound the findings of clinical trials that attempt to combine TKIs, or other protein inhibitors, with conventional chemotherapeutic agents.

Effect of Zactima (Vandetanib), Iressa (Gefitinib) and Sutent (Sunitinib) on Nucleobase Transport

[0152]Human renal proximal tubule cells (hRPTCs) were seeded in 12-well plates at densities of 105 cells / well and grown for 7 days with medium changes every 3-4 days. On the day of experiments, growth medium was aspirated and cells were washed twice with 1.5 ml of 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) containing 150 mM NaCl, 1.2 mM MgCl2 and 1 mM CaCl2 (hereafter referred to as sodium buffer).

[0153]Inhibition of [3H] adenine transport in hRPTCs by the TKIs vandetanib, gefitinib and sunitinib was investigated by incubating hRPTC cultures with 1 μM [3H]adenine in sodium buffer at pH 7.4 in the absence or presence of graded concentrations of vandetanib, gefitinib and sunitinib. At the end of 2 minute incubations, cells were washed twice with sodium buffer and intracellular accumulation of [3H]adenine was determined by solubilizing cells with 5% Triton-X-100 and subsequent determination of radioact...

Effects of Adenosine, Adenosine Receptor Antagonists, and TKIs on Human Nucleoside Equilibrative Transporters (hENTS)

[0166]Introduction:

[0167]T84 cells are used as a model for epithelial chloride (Cl−) secretion (Strohmeier et al., J Biol Chem 1995, 270, 2387). Matthews et al. (Surgery 1994, 116, 150; J Clin Invest 1995, 96, 117) showed that adenosine released from cultured intestinal epithelial cells during hypoxia activates the Cl− secretion via activation of the adenosine receptors (A2b) (Stehle et al., Mol Endocrinol 1992, 6, 384). Tally et. al, (Surgery 1996, 120, 248) showed that human equilibrative nucleoside transporters (hENTs) localized on intestinal epithelial cells scavenge free adenosine thus regulating the concentrations of adenosine available to interact with adenosine receptors (A2b) localized on intestinal cells leading to activation of Cl− secretion and adenosine induced diarrheal response.

[0168]Methods:

[0169]T84 cells were routinely grown in DMEM / F12 (1:1) cell cu...

Abstract

A method for treating an ATP analog-induced side effect in a subject comprises administering an effective amount of an adenosine receptor antagonist to the subject. A method for treating cancer in a subject comprises administering a nucleobase and / or nucleoside prior to administering an ATP analog.
