Embodiment 1

[0067] m 4 N and several other NDGA derivatives contribute to SP1-regulated E 6 / E 7 effect on promoter activity.

[0068] m 4 N and several other NDGA derivatives contribute to SP1-regulated E 6 / E 7 The effect on promoter activity was detected using luciferase as a reporter. In this test method, the HPV16LCR (P 97 ) DNA was transfected into C33A cells. C33A is a cervical tumor cell line (ATCC accession number HTB-31 ) that does not contain any integrated HPV DNA, but possesses transcription factors necessary for strong expression of HPV early gene promoters. On the second day of DNA transfection, drugs of different concentrations formulated in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were added to the cells. Thirty hours after drug treatment (to allow testing to be completed within 48 hours of the standard transient transfection assay), cells were lysed and specific luciferase activity was determined (Luciferase AssaySystems, Promega, U.S. Pat. No. 5283, 179 ). With M 4 Specific...

Embodiment 2

[0071] use M 4 E after N treatment 6 / E 7 Inhibition of mRNA synthesis

[0072] use M 4 E after N treatment 6 / E 7 Inhibition of mRNA synthesis was achieved by the cervical cell line C 3 RT-PCR in the test. Correlative RT-PCR was performed based on total cellular RNA amounts normalized to cell counts. The RT-PCR product was analyzed on 2% agarose gel, and the results are shown in FIG. 3 . RT-PCR results showed that amplified cDNAs with the expected size of E7 (321 bp) and E6 (204 bp) were detected at cycle 22 in DMSO-treated cells. Such products were barely detectable in drug-treated RNA extracts amplified for 30 cycles. No amplified product was detected in the total RNA extracts for the no-template PCR control or the HPV16-negative C33a cell line.

Embodiment 3

[0074] by M 4 N treatment inhibited the growth of cervical C3 cells

[0075] Immortal mouse epidermal cells (C3 cells) transfected with HPV16 were placed in vials so that each bottle contained 10 5 cells. After 24 hours, half of the vials were given growth matrix containing 40 μM M in 1% DMSO 4 N, while the other half was given a growth substrate containing only 1% DMSO. see results Figure 4A . Within 24 hours, the cell morphology of drug-treated C3 cells and control C3 cells showed differences. Drug-treated cells grew and divided significantly less than non-drug-treated control cells, while the ratio fraction of viable cells to total counted cells remained unchanged for drug-treated and DMSO-only control cells. This shows that M 4 N can significantly reduce cell differentiation.

[0076] Will M 4 The effect of N on the growth of C3 cells after removal from the matrix was also examined. C3 cells were placed in vials so that each vial contained 10 4 cells. At time ...

Abstract

Use of nordihydroguaiaretic derivatives to suppress CDC-2 and survivin, stimulate apoptosis, and treat tumors.

Description

[0001] Part of the funding for this invention comes from the No.AI 32301 fund approved by the National Center for Health Research (NIH) and the DAMD17-93-C3122 fund approved by the US military medical research. The United States Government has certain rights in this invention. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to the application of nordihydroguaiaretic acid derivatives, especially the derivatives containing natural amino acid substituents in the treatment of tumors and viral infections. Background technique [0003] Cancer is caused by a variety of genetic and extrinsic factors, manifested by uncontrolled cell growth in different tissues. A global goal of anticancer research is to develop clinical treatments that shrink tumor growth, are nontoxic to the host, and are tolerated by the majority of patients. Oncology drugs that inhibit specific cell division should be effective chemotherapeutic agents without significant side effects. [0004] Cells pass ...
