1 A method of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells is disclosed in which cancer cells that contain an enhanced amount relative to non-cancerous cells of one or more of phosphorylated mTOR, Aktl, ERK2 and serine2152-phosphorylated filamin A are contacted with an FLNA-binding effective amount of a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that binds to the pentapeptide of filamin A (FLNA) of SEQ ID NO: 1 and exhibits at least about 60 percent of the FITC- labeled naloxone binding amount when present at a 10 μΜ concentration and using unlabeled naloxone as the control inhibitor at the same concentration. A compound that binds to the FLNA pentapeptide preferably also contains at least four of the six pharmacophores of Figs. 19-24.
本发明揭示了一种抑制癌细胞生长的方法,其中将相对于非癌细胞含有增强量的一个或多个
磷酸化mTOR、Aktl、ERK2和
丝氨酸2152-
磷酸化filamin A的癌细胞与与filamin A(FLNA)的
SEQ ID NO: 1的五肽结合并且在10μΜ浓度下至少表现出FITC标记的
纳洛酮结合量的60%的化合物或其药学上可接受的盐接触。优选结合到FLNA五肽的化合物还包含Figs. 19-24中的六个药效团中的至少四个。
