Disclosed are novel methods for the therapeutic treatment of cancer and angiogenesis. The enzyme Ape1/Ref-1, via its redox function, enhances the DNA binding activity of transcription factors that are associated with the progression of cancer. The present disclosure describes the use of agents to selectively inhibit the redox function of Ape1/Ref-1 and thereby reduce tumor cell growth, survival, migration and metastasis. In addition, Ape1/Ref-1 inhibitory activity is shown to augment the therapeutic effects of other therapeutics and protect normal cells against toxicity. Further, Ape1/Ref-1 inhibition is shown to decrease angiogenesis, for use in the treatment of cancer as well other pathologic conditions of which altered angiogenesis is a component.
所公开的是治疗癌症和血管生成的新方法。Ape1/Ref-1 酶通过其氧化还原功能增强与癌症进展相关的转录因子的 DNA 结合活性。本公开描述了如何使用药剂选择性地抑制 Ape1/Ref-1 的氧化还原功能,从而减少肿瘤细胞的生长、存活、迁移和转移。此外,Ape1/Ref-1 抑制活性还能增强其他疗法的治疗效果,保护正常细胞免受毒性影响。此外,Ape1/Ref-1 抑制剂还能减少血管生成,可用于治疗癌症及其他以血管生成改变为组成部分的病理状况。
