Abstract
A method of inducing high anti-leukemia activity responsive to the combination of hydroxamic acid analogue histone deacetylase inhibitors and PKC412 against human acute leukemia characterized as expressing phosphorylated (p)FLT3 kinase by a novel flow cytometry-based assay.
Claims4
A method of treating Acute Myeloid Leukemia comprising the steps of:
- contacting a target cell with a therapeutically effective amount of N-hydroxy-3-[4-[[(2-hydroxyethyl)[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]amino]methyl]phenyl]-2(E)-propenamide;
- and
- concomitantly contacting the target cell with a therapeutically effective amount of 4-benzoyl staurosporine, wherein the target cell expresses constitutively active mutant type or wild type autophosphorylated (p) FLT-3 tyrosine kinase.
A method of treating leukemia, the method comprising obtaining a leukemia cell sample from a patient, determining the presence of autophosphorylated (p) FLT-3 tyrosine kinase expression in the cell sample, and concomitantly administering N-hydroxy-3-[4-[[(2-hydroxyethyl)[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]amino]methyl]phenyl]-2(E)-propenamide and 4-benzoyl staurosporine to the patient.
A method of treating Acute Myeloid Leukemia in a patient whose leukemia cells express constitutively active mutant type or wild type autophosphorylated (p) FLT-3 tyrosine kinase activity, the method comprising administering to the patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising N-hydroxy-3-[4-[[(2-hydroxyethyl)[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]amino]methyl]phenyl]-2(E)-propenamide, 4-benzoyl staurosporine, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
