The present invention describes methods and compositions for improving the therapeutic efficacy of therapeutically active agents previously limited by suboptimal therapeutic performance by either improving efficacy as monotherapy or reducing side effects. Such methods and compositions are particularly applicable to therapeutically active agents selected from the group consisting of: (i) indirubin; (ii) an analog of indirubin; (iii) a derivative of indirubin or of an analog of indirubin; and (iv) a pharmaceutical composition comprising indirubin, an analog of indirubin, or a derivative of indirubin or of an analog of indirubin, especially meisoindigo. In particular, the therapeutically active agents selected from the group consisting of: (i) indirubin; (ii) an analog of indirubin; (iii) a derivative of indirubin or of an analog of indirubin; and (iv) a pharmaceutical composition comprising indirubin, an analog of indirubin, or a derivative of indirubin or of an analog of indirubin, especially meisoindigo, are effective Nek9 inhibitors. The active agent, such as meisoindigo, can act as a Nek9 inhibitor. The active agent can be used together with Nek9 inhibitors or agents that inhibit the expression of Nek9.
A method of treating a disease or condition treatable by administration of a Nek9 inhibitor to a subject in need thereof comprising administration of an effective quantity of a therapeutically active agent selected from the group consisting of:
The method of claim 51 wherein the anti-Nek antibody is selected from the group consisting of polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, and fully human antibodies.
A composition to improve the efficacy and/or reduce the side effects of suboptimally administered drug therapy comprising an alternative selected from the group consisting of:
