The present invention relates to a method of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof, by administering to a subject in need thereof a first amount of a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof, in a first treatment procedure, and a second amount of an anti-cancer agent in a second treatment procedure. The first and second amounts together comprise a therapeutically effective amount. The effect of the HDAC inhibitor and the anti-cancer agent may be additive or synergistic.
The present invention relates to methods of treating cancers, e.g., mesothelioma or lymphoma. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods of treating mesothelioma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), by administration of pharmaceutical compositions comprising HDAC inhibitors, e.g., suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA). The oral formulations of the pharmaceutical compositions have favorable pharmacokinetic profiles such as high bioavailability and surprisingly give rise to high blood levels of the active compounds over an extended period of time. The present invention further provides a safe, daily dosing regimen of these pharmaceutical compositions, which is easy to follow, and which results in a therapeutically effective amount of the HDAC inhibitors in vivo.
Design and Synthesis of Bis-amide and Hydrazide-containing Derivatives of Malonic Acid as Potential HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors
HIV-1 integrase (IN) is an attractive and validated target for the development of novel therapeutics against AIDS. In the search for new IN inhibitors, we designed and synthesized three series of bis-amide and hydrazide-containing derivatives of malonic acid. We performed a docking study to investigate the potential interactions of the title compounds with essential amino acids on the IN active site.
HIV-1 整合酶(IN)是开发新型艾滋病治疗药物的一个极具吸引力的有效靶点。为了寻找新的 IN 抑制剂,我们设计并合成了三个系列的丙二酸双酰胺和含酰肼衍生物。我们进行了一项对接研究,探讨了标题化合物与 IN 活性位点上必需氨基酸的潜在相互作用。
