A lateral flow chromatographic assay format for the performance of rapid enzyme-driven assays is described. A combination of components necessary to elicit a specific enzyme reaction, which are either absent from the intended sample or insufficiently present therein to permit completion of the desired reaction, are predeposited as substrate in dry form together with ingredients necessary to produce a desired color upon occurrence of the desired reaction. The strip is equipped with a sample pad placed ahead of the substrate deposit in the flowstream, to which liquid sample is applied. The sample flows from the sample pad into the substrate zone where it immediately reconstitutes the dried ingredients while also intimately mixing with them and reacting with them at the fluid front. The fluid front moves rapidly into the final "read zone" wherein the color developed is read against predetermined color standards for the desired reaction. Pretreatment pads for the sample, as needed, (e.g. a lysing pad for lysing red blood cells in whole blood) are placed in front of the sample pad in the flow path as appropriate. The assay in the format of the invention is faster and easier to perform than analogous wet chemistry assays. Specific assays for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase ("G-6PD"), total serum cholesterol, beta-lactamase activity and peroxidase activity are disclosed.

Cholesterol-uptake-blocking drugs inhibit angiogenesis and are useful to inhibit diseases perpetuated by angiogenesis. Cholesterol reduction with the use of the drugs increases the intratumoral level of thrombospondin-1, an angiogenesis inhibitor. Ezetimibe (Zetia®), a specific cholesterol-uptake blocking drug, also retards the growth of human tumors, most preferably in combination with low-cholesterol diet. The pharmacologic reduction in serum cholesterol retards prostate cancer growth by inhibiting tumor angiogenesis to combat the growth of prostatic tumors which are directly accelerated by hypercholesterolemia.
