Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is directed to provide antitumor agent including water-soluble sulfasalazine as an active ingredient. Antitumor agents were obtained with, as the water-soluble sulfasalazine, a PEG-modified sulfasalazine represented by the following formula:wherein an average value of n is 4 or larger and 1136 or smaller.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for treating a patient with a tumor, comprising administering an effective amount of water-soluble sulfasalazine, the water-soluble sulfasalazine being a PEG-modified sulfasalazine represented by the following formula: wherein an average value of n is 4 or larger and 1136 or smaller. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an average molecular weight of PEG that modifies sulfasalazine is 500 or more and 6,000 or less. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein an average molecular weight of PEG that modifies sulfasalazine is 4,000 or more and 6,000 or less. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the water-soluble sulfasalazine is injected to the patient.
