Devices, systems and methods for localized delivery of a chemotherapy, hormonal therapy or targeted drug/biologic therapy to a target tissue area of an internal body organ of a patient. A catheter forms a sealed treatment chamber in a natural lumen extending through the target tissue area. Air is purged from the chamber, which is then filled with a liquid drug solution for an adequate treatment session time, solution volume and drug concentration to saturate the target tissue area, thereby providing the treatment. The drug concentration in the liquid soaking solution may be formulated to approximate the known maximum plasma concentration achieved during systemic delivery of the same drug. An integrated pressure relief circuit may be included to avoid unsafe pressure levels in the isolated chamber. The chamber is evacuated at the end of the treatment session.

Provided are methods of using an anti-cancer agent's cell cycle-related, cell-killing activity to identify it as an effective combination with YM155 monobromide for treating MYC-associated cancers, and related kits, compositions, methods of screening, and methods for treating cancer in a subject in need thereof.

The invention provides compounds of Formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: ##STR00001## The compounds, compositions, methods and kits of the invention are useful for the treatment of pain, itch, and neurogenic inflammation.

The invention provides compounds of Formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: ##STR00001## The compounds, compositions, methods and kits of the invention are useful for the treatment of pain, itch, and neurogenic inflammation.

The present disclosure relates to prodrugs, double prodrugs, derivatives and analogues of 3-(methylamino)-2-((methylamino)methyl)propane-1-thiol. The compounds of this disclosure also relate to formula I:

##STR00001##

The use of these compounds as radio- and chemo-protectors is also described.

The present disclosure provides use of a norepinephrine or a β-adrenergic receptor inhibitor in the preparation of a medicament for nerve injury repair in diabetes, and belongs to the technical field of nerve repair drugs. By inhibiting norepinephrine secretion or antagonizing β2-adrenergic receptors, the present disclosure promotes the expression of neurotrophic factors in epithelial cells to further regulate nerve repair. Therefore, the present disclosure provides the use of a norepinephrine inhibitor or a β-adrenergic receptor inhibitor in the preparation of a medicament for nerve injury repair in diabetes. The inhibitor provided by the present disclosure features excellent stability and low cost, and has excellent clinical application prospects.

The present disclosure relates to prodrugs, double prodrugs, derivatives and analogues of 3-(methylamino)-2-((methy-lamino)methyl)propane-1-thiol. Their use as radio- and chemo-protectors is also described.

This disclosure provides therapeutic methods for treating cancer including combination therapy with a multimeric anti-DR5 antibody and a cancer therapy, e.g., radiation, an anthracycline, a folic acid analog, a platinum-based agent, a taxane, a topoisomerase II inhibitor, a SMAC mimetic, a vinca alkaloid, a Brutons tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, a phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) inhibitor, a myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) inhibitor, or any combination thereof.

The present technology provides compounds, as well as compositions including such compounds, useful for imaging and/or treatment of a non-small cell lung cancer, small cell carcinoma of the lung, bladder cancer, colon cancer, gallbladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, melanoma, liver cancer, primary gastric adenocarcinoma, primary colorectal adenocarcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, a neuroendocrine tumor, a pituitary tumor, a vasoactive intestinal peptide-secreting tumor, a glioma, breast cancer, an adrenal cortical cancer, a cervical carcinoma, a vulvar carcinoma, an endometrial carcinoma, a primary ovarian carcinoma, a metastatic ovarian carcinoma, and/or a metastatic cancer. The compounds include a tumor targeting domain (that includes a moiety capable of recognizing or interacting with a molecular target on the surface of tumor cells), a blood-protein binding domain, and a sarcophagine-containing domain, where the moiety of the tumor targeting domain is distal to and sterically unimpeded by the blood-protein binding domain.
