Definitions

  • the present invention relates to combination chemotherapeutics for treatment of humans, and especially for the treatment of human cancers, and corresponding methods for the treatment of humans suffering from cancers or other maladies.
  • the invention further provides dosage forms and regimens for administration to human patients, and methods of formulating and administering such dosage forms to yield improvements in treatment outcomes. More particularly, the invention is concerned with the administration of specific chemotherapeutic dosage forms (e.g., liquid mixtures, capsules, pills, or tablets) containing one or more curcumin components), harmine components), and isovaiullin components), and sub-combinations thereof.
  • specific chemotherapeutic dosage forms e.g., liquid mixtures, capsules, pills, or tablets
  • Cancer is a generic term for a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body. Other terms used are malignant tumors and neoplasms.
  • One defining feature of cancer is the rapid creation of abnormal cells mat grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs. This process is referred to as metastasis. Metastases are the major cause of death from cancer.
  • the transformation from a normal cell into a tumor cell is a multistage process, typically a progression from a pre-cancerous lesion to malignant tumors. These changes are the result of the interaction between a person's genetic factors and three categories of external agents, including:
  • physical carcinogens such as ultraviolet and ionizing radiation
  • chemical carcinogens such as asbestos, components of tobacco smoke, aflatoxin (a food contaminant) and arsenic (a drinking water contaminant)
  • biological carcinogens such as infections from certain viruses, bacteria or parasites.
  • Viruses hepatitis B and liver cancer, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and cervical cancer, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Kaposi sarcoma.
  • Aging is another fundamental factor for the development of cancer.
  • the incidence of cancer rises dramatically with age, most likely due to a buildup of risks for specific cancers that increase with age.
  • the overall risk accumulation is combined with the tendency for cellular repair mechanisms to be less effective as a person grows older.
  • HBV hepatitis B
  • HCV hepatitis C virus
  • HPV Human Papilloma Virus
  • cancer treatment modalities are surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. All of these techniques have significant drawbacks in terms of side effects and patient discomfort.
  • chemotherapy may result in significant decreases in white blood cell count (neutropenia), red blood cell count (anemia), and platelet count (thrombocytopenia). This can result in pain, diarrhea, constipation, mouth sores, hair loss, nausea, and vomiting.
  • Bio therapy (sometimes called immunotherapy, biotherapy, or biological response modifier therapy) is a relatively new addition to the family of cancer treatments.
  • Biological therapies use the body's immune system, either directly or indirectly, to fight cancer or to lessen the side effects that may be caused by some cancer treatments.
  • Examples of famous negative drug interactions include the development of rhabdomyolysis, a severe muscle disease, when taking Simvastatin with Amiodarone. As a result, the FDA introduced a warning on the drug label about the interaction.
  • Cancer cells are cells that, by definition, grow and di vide without normal limitations. The unrestricted cell growth results in tumors, comprised of a variety of cell types. Treatments to fight cancer are frequently successful in killing the typical, differentiated cancer cells that form the majority of a solid tumor, otherwise known as the bulk cells. However even with the best treatment, the cancer may return a few months to years later (Prince, M.E. et al., "Cancer stem cells in head and neck squamous cell cancer.” Clin. Oncol. 26.17 (2008):2871-2875). For example, recurrence is frequently the case for pancreatic and head and neck cancer. It is now hypothesized that one of the key factors in the recurrence rate for cancers is the presence of cancer stem cells.
  • Cancer stem cells were not identified until the late 1990s and show two important properties of stem cells: 1) cancer stem cells can self-renew and, 2) cancer stem cells can differentiate into any other cell type (Bandhavkar, S. "Cancer stem cells: a metastasizing menace.” Cancer Med. (2016) doi:10.1002/cam4.629; Dick, J.E. "Stem cell concepts renew cancer research " Blood, 112 (2008):4793-4807). While they make up only a small percentage of the total number of cells in a tumor, they compromise a unique category of cancer cells that are more likely to be resistant to chemotherapy or radiation therapy. In tact, it is now believed that the majority of cells in tumors are not cancer-causing and cannot initiate new tumors ( Bandhavkar).
  • cancer stem cells Only cancer stem cells appear to be tumor-initiators (Visvader, J.E. et al. "Cancer stem cells: Current status and evolving complexities.' * Cell Stem Cell 10 (2012):717-728). Cancer stem cells have been shown to coordinate tumor cell growth, metastases (migration and invasion), and drug resistance (Carnmarora, F. et al. "Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells in stromal evolution and cancer progression/* Stem Cells lint, (2016):4$24573).
  • cancer stem cells behave differently than non-cancerous stem cells in the person (Cammarota et al.), and have been described as the "roots of aggressive tumors for which we have no effective treatment” (Doherty, M.R. et al. "Cancer stem cell plasticity drives therapeutic resistance.” Cancers 8,8 (2016) doi: 10.3390). hi general stem cells are naturally resistant to chemotherapies and radiation therapy (Diehn, M. et al "Cancer stem cells and radiotherapy: new insights into tumor radioresistance.” J. NatL Cancer Inst. 98 (2016): 1775-1757; Mery, B. et al.
  • cancer stem cells are capable of self-renewal and generating tumors resembling the primary tumor (Ponnurangam, S. et al. "Quinotnycin A targets Notch signaling pathway in pancreatic cancer stem cells.” Oncotarget 7.3 (2015):3217-3232).
  • the sphere-forming assays have been widely used to identify stem cells based on their reported capacity to evaluate self-renewal and differentiation.
