Abstract
A method for treating skin cancer including the steps of applying an isothiocyanate functional surfactant to an area affected by skin cancer, wherein the isothiocyanate functional surfactant comprises at least one isothiocyanate functional group associated with an aliphatic and/or aromatic carbon atom of the isothiocyanate functional surfactant.
Claims9
A method for treating skin cancer, comprising the step(s) of:
- administering a surfactant or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a patient having skin cancer, wherein the protonated form of the surfactant is represented by the following chemical structure:
- wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, alkanoyl, aroyl, alkenyl, and cyano group containing 1 to approximately 25 carbon atom(s);
- wherein R2 is NCS;
- and wherein R3-R5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of H, OH, and an alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, alkanoyl, aroyl, alkenyl, and/or cyano group containing 1 to approximately 25 carbon atom(s) with the proviso that at least one of R3-R5 is selected from the group consisting of an alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, alkanoyl, aroyl, alkenyl, and/or cyano group containing approximately 8 to approximately 25 carbon atom(s).
