This invention discloses a method and formulation for treatment/prevention of human and animal cancers. The invention is designed to exploit the vulnerability of cancer with regards to its anaerobic requirement for non-oxidative phosphorylation of glucose to derive energy, which is opposite to the host. The composition is comprised of a combination of one or more of (A) 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone, ubiquinones (5-45) (B) compound(s) capable of augmenting oxidative phosphorylation such as a riboflavin containing compound and/or ubiquinone (50) (C) 2′,3,4′5,7-pentahydroxyflavone or a lactic acid dehydrogenase inhibitor and (D) compounds (s) that antagonize gluconeogenesis from non-glucose carbon based substrates. The combination of these substances should favor oxidative loss of carbon through decarboxylation reactions, suppress gluconeogenesis and initiate collapse of glycolysis in tumor tissue, a chemical manipulation that should be non-toxic or perhaps even beneficial to normal respiring host tissue. Pilot studies indicate the treatment to be effective without side effects.
本发明公开了一种治疗/预防人类和动物癌症的方法和制剂。本发明旨在利用癌症对葡萄糖的非氧化磷酸化以获取能量的厌氧需求这一弱点,这一点与宿主相反。本发明的组合物由以下一种或多种成分组合而成 (A) 2,3-二甲氧基-5-甲基-1,4-苯醌、泛醌(5-45) (B) 能够增强氧化磷酸化的化合物,如含核黄素的化合物和/或泛醌(50) (C) 2′、3,4′5,7-五羟基黄酮或乳酸脱氢酶抑制剂;(D) 能拮抗非葡萄糖碳基底物葡萄糖生成的化合物。这些物质的组合应有利于通过脱羧反应氧化失碳,抑制葡萄糖生成,并启动肿瘤组织中糖酵解的崩溃,这种化学操作对正常呼吸的宿主组织应该是无毒的,甚至可能是有益的。试验研究表明,这种治疗方法有效且无副作用。
