Abstract
Some embodiments include methods for treating, preventing, reversing, halting, or slowing the progression of cancer, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of one or more chemotherapeutic agents, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition, wherein at least one of the chemotherapeutic agents is a cytotoxic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (GCFR) modulator. Methods are also disclosed for treating, preventing, reversing, halting, or slowing the progression of a hematopoietic disorder, comprising administered a therapeutically effective cytotoxic amount of a GCFR modulator to a subject in need thereof.
Claims14
A method for treating a cancer selected from the group consisting of a leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, colon cancer, CNS cancer, skin cancer, ovarian cancer, renal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and myeloma, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I), (II), Ill, or (IV) in combination with an additional therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of a chemotherapeutic agent, bone marrow transplant, and radiation therapy, wherein the compound of Formula (I), (II), Ill, or (IV) has the structure:
