Method and compositions for treatment of cell proliferative disorders

The present invention relates to methods and compositions comprising at least one endothelin antagonist, preferably in combination with a poly- beta -1->4-N-acetylglucosamine (p-GlcNAc) polysaccharide matrix, for use in the treatment of cancer and other proliferative diseases. The endothelin anta...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to methods and compositions comprising at least one endothelin antagonist, preferably in combination with a poly- beta -1->4-N-acetylglucosamine (p-GlcNAc) polysaccharide matrix, for use in the treatment of cancer and other proliferative diseases. The endothelin antagonist can be a peptide or non-peptide compound, and the p-GlcNAc matrix of the invention is comprised of a polymer of high molecular weight whose constituent monosaccharide sugars are attached in a beta -1->4 conformation, and which is free of proteins, and substantially free of single amino acids, and other organic and inorganic contaminants. The compositions and methods of the invention are useful for inhibiting the growth of tumors and other neoplastic cells and/or for inhibiting the metastasis of neoplastic cells in vivo.
