The present invention relates to a novel class of anti-cancer compounds, which contain a haloacetamide or azide moiety and are, in one embodiment, alkylating agents. These agents, either alone or in a composition, are useful for treating cancer, preventing cancer, delaying the progression of cancer, treating and/or preventing the recurrence of cancer, suppressing, inhibiting or reducing the incidence of cancer, or inducing apoptosis in a cancer cell. Accordingly, the present invention provides a) methods of treating cancer in a subject; b) methods of preventing cancer in a subject; c) methods of delaying the progression of cancer in a subject; d) methods of treating the recurrence of cancer in a subject; e) methods of preventing the recurrence of cancer in a subject; f) methods of suppressing, inhibiting or reducing the incidence of cancer in a subject; and g) methods of inducing apoptosis in a cancer cell; by administering to the subject an anti-cancer compound of the present invention or an analog or metabolite thereof, its N-oxide, ester, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or any combination thereof as described herein.
本发明涉及一类新型的抗癌化合物,其中包含卤代乙酰胺或叠氮基团,并且在一个实施例中,它们是烷基化剂。这些化合物,无论是单独使用还是作为组合物使用,可用于治疗癌症、预防癌症、延缓癌症进展、治疗和/或预防癌症复发、抑制、阻断或减少癌症发生率,或在癌细胞中诱导凋亡。因此,本发明提供了a)治疗受试者癌症的方法;b)预防受试者癌症的方法;c)延缓受试者癌症进展的方法;d)治疗受试者癌症复发的方法;e)预防受试者癌症复发的方法;f)抑制、阻断或减少受试者癌症发生率的方法;以及g)诱导癌细胞凋亡的方法;通过向受试者给予本发明的抗癌化合物或其类似物或代谢物、其N-氧化物、酯、药学上可接受的盐、水合物,或本文所述的任何组合物。
