This invention provides a method for treating cancer in mammals through cellular-organelle-crystallization-induced-death (herein defined as “Cocid”), a method for treating cancer using cellular organelle and/or cytoskeleton crystallizing agents (e.g. tetrazolium salts and their derivatives), pharmaceutical compositions containing a therapeutically effective amount of organelle and/or cytoskeleton crystallizing agents, and compositions containing organelle and/or cytoskeleton crystallizing agents in combination With a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient. The crystallizing agents with or without a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient, are used in combination with surgery and/or non-surgical anti-tumor treatments.
本发明提供了一种通过细胞器-结晶-诱导死亡(此处定义为 "Cocid")治疗哺乳动物癌症的方法,一种使用细胞器和/或细胞骨架结晶剂(如
四唑盐及其衍
生物)治疗癌症的方法,一种含有治疗有效量的细胞器和/或细胞骨架结晶剂的药物组合物,以及含有细胞器和/或细胞骨架结晶剂的组合物。
四唑盐及其衍
生物)、含有治疗有效量的细胞器和/或细胞骨架结晶剂的药物组合物,以及含有细胞器和/或细胞骨架结晶剂与药学上可接受的载体、稀释剂或赋形剂的组合物。结晶剂与或不与药学上可接受的载体、稀释剂或赋形剂结合,可用于手术和/或非手术抗肿瘤治疗。
