Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Indirubin is the major active anti-tumor component of a traditional Chinese herbal medicine used for treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Indirubin derivatives (IRDs) potently reduce the viabilities of various cancer cells and affect kinase activities. IRDs disclosed herein provide new therapeutics for cancer and conditions regulated by the kinase activities.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating a cancer or tumor in a subject comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an indirubin derivative (IRD) selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 9-13, 59, 61, 68-71, 79-87, 115, 124, 128 and 176, the cancer or tumor being selected from the group consisting of CML, prostate cancer, melanoma, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cancer is prostate cancer, and the indirubin derivative is selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 10-11, 13, 59, 71, 79, 80, 83, 84, 87, 128, and 176. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cancer is melanoma, and the indirubin derivative is selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 59, and 176. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cancer is pancreatic cancer, and the indirubin derivative is selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 9, 11, 13, 59, 61, 68-71, 82-87, 115, and 176. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cancer is ovarian cancer, and the indirubin derivative is selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 11, 13, 59, 61, 69, 71, 79-82, 84-87, 124, and 176. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cancer is leukemia, and the indirubin derivative is selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 10-13, 59, 61, 70, 71, 79-80, 83-87, 115, 128, and 176. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cancer is lymphoma, and the indirubin derivative is selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 10-13, 59, 79-80, 83, 84, 87, 115, 128, and 176. 8. A method of treating a condition regulated by a protein kinase in a subject comprising administering an indirubin derivative (IRD) selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 10, 11, 13, 61, 70, 71, 79, 80, 83-87, and 176, the protein kinase being selected from the group consisting of ABL1, ABL1 (T315I mutant), Aurora A, c-Src, FGR, FLT3, HCK, LYN, JAK2, and TYK2. 9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the protein kinase is ABL1, and the indirubin derivative is selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 11, 13, 61, 70, 71, 79, 80, 83-87, and 176. 10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the protein kinase is ABL1 (T315I mutant), and the indirubin derivative is selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 61, 79, 80, 83-85, and 87. 11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the protein kinase is Aurora A, and the indirubin derivative is selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos.61, 70, 79, 80, 83-87, and 176. 12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the protein kinase is c-Src, and the indirubin derivative is selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 10, 11, 13, 61, 70, 71, 79, 80, 83-87, and 176. 13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the protein kinase is FGR, FLT3, HCK, LYN, or TYK2, and the indirubin derivative is IRD No. 176. 14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the protein kinase is JAK2, and the indirubin derivative is selected from the group consisting of IRD Nos. 61, 79, 80, 83, 84, and 87.
