The present application relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a salt of arsenous acid, such as sodium meta arsenite or potassium meta arsenite, and methods of manufacturing the pharmaceutical compositions.

A composite anti-restenosis drug for use with a coronary drug-eluting stent, and a controlled release system for the drug. The composite drug comprises arsenic trioxide and rapamycin, which may be used in combination to prevent in-stent restenosis and reduce the incidence of intravascular thrombosis. The controlled release system for the composite drug may control the release of the composite drug so as to achieve the therapeutic effect of controlling restenosis and preventing the formation of thromboses.

The present invention relates to compositions for the treatment of a malignant disease and in particular to compositions comprising an NF-B inhibitor and a -glutamyltransferase (-GT) inhibitor and therapeutic uses thereof. The invention further relates to in vitro methods of testing putative anti-tumour agents for their potential to act as therapeutically effective anti-tumour agents in vivo. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly developed for bringing NF-B inhibitors to the clinic such as to provide alternative therapeutic options in the treatment of malignant diseases and will be described hereinafter with reference to this application. However, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to this particular field of use.
