▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Composition comprises a solubilizing agent and a conjugate compound or its salt, solvate or prodrug. USE - Composition for treating cells expressing Sortilin, and cancer or aggressive cancer in cancerous tissues or cells expressing Sortilin (all claimed), where cancer is ovarian, breast, colon and prostate cancer. The ability of composition was tested in mice implanted with MDA-MB-231 s.c. xenografts received a high dose of docetaxel (15mg/kg), TH1902 (at equivalent docetaxel dose) or vehicle, and second group of mice implanted with MDA-MB-231 s.c. xenografts received a low dose of docetaxel (3.75 mg/kg), TH1902 (at equivalent docetaxel dose) or vehicle. The results showed that TH1902 demonstrated improved tolerability (lower toxicity) and improved efficacy (stronger inhibition of Triple-negative breast cancer tumor growth) compared to docetaxel alone (at equivalent dose). ADVANTAGE - The composition prevents tumor growth or progression for a period of 10-15 days post-treatment, is effective for reducing tumor size for a period of at least 10 days, preferably 10-15 days post-treatment.
