Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9524894A2] The present method provides a method for treating an epithelial cell-derived cancer in a subject in need of such treatment which comprises administering to the subject an amount of a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor or derivative thereof effective to treat the epithelial cell-derived cancer. The present invention also provides a method for preventing an epithelial cell-derived cancer in a subject in need of such prevention which comprises administering to the subject an amount of a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor effective to prevent the epithelial cell-derived cancer. Suitable 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors useful for the methods of the present invention preferably include 2-(12-Hydroxydodeca-5,10-dinyl)-3,5,6-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone and derivatives thereof; Nordihydroguaiaretic acid and derivatives; and 3-[1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-3-t-butyl-thio-t-isopropyl-indol-2-yl]-2-2-dimethylpropanoic acid and derivatives thereof. Also intended to be encompassed by this invention are hydroxyurea derivatives as inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors for use in the prevention and treatment of epithelial cell-derived cancers.
