BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cytokines generally stimulate proliferation or differentiation of cells of the hematopoietic lineage or participate in the immune and inflammatory response mechanisms of the body. Examples of cytokines which affect hematopoiesis are erythropoietin (EPO), which stimulates
This invention relates to N-acetyl-cysteine having the formula ##STR1## and has as its object the use of this compound to block cardiac damage resulting from the use of anthracyclines, notably adriamycin, in cancer therapy.
The anthracyclines have the general formula ##STR2## and their essential
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel receptors in the TNF family. A novel receptor has been identified, referred to herein as TRAIN (TNF Receptor in the BRAIN).
The TNF family consists of pairs of ligands and their specific receptors referred to as TNF family ligands
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cysteine proteases, such as cathepsins B, L, S, and O.sub.2, have been implicated in a number of diseases, including cancer metastasis and invasion (Clin. Exp. Metastasis 1992, 10, 145-155; Cancer Metastasis Rev. 1990, 9, 333-352), arthritis (Int. J. Biochem. 1993, 25,
It is a purpose of this invention to create a cytostatic composition for treatment of transplanted tumors in animals by structurally combining antimetabolics (the hydrazide of cystine and of cysteine, respectively) with an alkylating group. In connection with the invention, U.S. Pat. No. 3,897,494,
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention generally relates to the treatment of cancer, and, more specifically, to compounds that inhibit the ability of cancer cells to invade tissues and cause metastases. Such compounds and methods can be used alone, or together with other anticancer therapies
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to selective peptidyl inhibitors of cancer procoagulant (CP), a protein elaborated by malignant, but not normal, animal and human cells, and to the use of these selective peptidyl inhibitors in cancer therapy and in CP removal from blood.
