Chemical agents, such as disulfonamide derivatives of fluorene, anthracene, xanthene, dibenzosuberone and acridine, and similar heterocyclic ring structures, including salts thereof, that act as anti-cancer and anti-tumor agents, especially where such agents modulate the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and serve to reduce β-catenin levels present in cells, such as cancer cells, or where the agents modulate levels of gene expression in cellular systems, including cancer cells, are disclosed, along with methods for preparing such agents, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing such agents as active ingredients and methods of using these as therapeutic agents.
本发明涉及化学剂,例如荧光烯,蒽,三苯甲烷和吖啶的二磺酰胺衍生物,以及类似的杂环环结构及其盐,这些化学剂作为抗癌和抗肿瘤剂,特别是当这些剂调节Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号通路的活性时,并能降低β-连环蛋白在细胞中(如癌细胞)的水平,或当这些剂调节细胞系统(包括癌细胞)的基因表达水平时。此外,本发明还揭示了制备这些化学剂的方法,以及包含这些化学剂作为活性成分的制药组合物和使用它们作为治疗剂的方法。
