Description

WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 TITLE: COMPOUNDS, COMPOSITIONS AND USE FOR ANTICANCER THERAPY DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION RELATED APPLICATION This application is a continuation in part claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/156,507, filed Mar. 1, 2009, which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the fields of oncology and chemotherapy. Specifically, the invention provides novel methods, pharmaceutical composition and targets for more efficient and less or non cytotoxic treatments of cancer. BACKGROUND ART OF THE INVENTION Cancer is a deadly disease and has been the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming 7.4 million lives (about 13% of all deaths) in 2004. This number has been projected to continue rising, with an estimated 12 million deaths worldwide in 2030. Even though the cancer death in US has been stabilized during the past decade, cancer incidence, prevalence and mortality from the developing countries are still in the rising phase. An effective and safe cure for cancer has been badly sought. Up to date, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are still the mainstream for cancer treatment. These treatments were based on targeting proliferating cells rather than cancer cells only, which is also the intrinsic cause of their lethal side effects that, in turn, limit the treatment doses and, hence, the efficacy. Targeted therapy, a new generation of cancer treatment, is aimed to target cancer specific changes of molecules and signaling pathways to induce cancer cell death, with the assumption of specifically targeting cancer cells while limiting the effects on normal cells. Enormous efforts have been made and are currently making for finding the targets and the ways of targeting them in the cells as a treatment. However, due to the complexity and overlapping regulation in biological systems, up to date, the success rate of such new generation of cancer treatment is limited. Majority of such developments are used as adjunct therapy to conventional chemotherapies. Unlike normal cells that oxidize pyruvate and synthesize ATP in mitochondria, cancer cells predominantly metabolize glucose and produce energy by glycolysis in the cytosol. Nobel laureate Otto Heinrich Warburg pointed out that it is the aerobic fermentation lead to the formation of cancer cells (Warburg 0., Science 123:309, 1956) over half century ago. This Aerobic glycolysis is a unique feature of cancer cell energy metabolism. More recently, PKM2 has been identified to be responsible for this energy metabolic switch. However, using PKM2 inhibitors to inhibit glycolysis as an anticancer treatment caused intolerable neurotoxicity. 1 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 Associated with the aerobic glycoslysis, these cancer cells consume oxygen through trans-plasma membrane electron transport (tPMET, Heart, PM, Curr Mol Med, 2006, 6:895). The tPMET is mediated by NADH Oxidases (NOX) located on cell plasma membrane. This process oxidizes intracellular NADH to form NAD* that recycles the NAD+ to maintain the NADH/NAD+ ratio and to support glycolytic. Several across cell plasma membrane electron transfer systems have been identified. These tPMET systems include the NADH:Ferricyanide Oxidoreductase PMET system, the NADH:Ubiquinone:WST-1 Reductase system and cell surface NADH-Oxidase activities. As normal cells consume oxygen at mitochondrial, the tPMET is also unique for cancer cells. In general, the higher degree aggressive tumors are associated with increased glycolysis rate and tPMET activity. Compounds that affect tPMET also affect cancer cell survival. As ATP production contributes substantially to fulfilling the energy requirements of rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells, and that tPMET is the major source for cancer cell energy production, targeting tPMET could be a strategy for cancer specific treatment. This concept was initially proposed by Herst PM, and Berridge MV based on the available data reporting the compounds that affecting tPMET resulted in cancer cell death and the link between the plasma membrane redox mechanism and the activation of acid sphingomyelinase and the formation of ceramide-enriched membrane islands with the resulted apoptosis (Herst PM, Berridge MV, Curr Mol Med 6:895, 2006). Baesd on this hypothesis, Herst PM, and Berridge MV proposed that to target tPMET it will need to discover or make compounds that specifically locate to the plasma memebrane without entering the cell (Herst PM, Berridge MV, Curr Mol Med 6:895, 2006). However, no further development has been reported. On the other hand, a novel tumor specific NADH Oxidase (tNOX), an ECTO-NOX, has been identified and has been used as a target for anti-cancer drug development (Davies SL, Bozzo J, Drug News Perspect 2006 19:223). Several products either currently utilized, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, (-)-epigallocatecin gallate, and doxorubicinjhydrdrochloride (Adria-Mycin) or under development, phenoxodiol, for cancer display capability of inhibiting tNOX as one of their underlying mechanisms. These developments are designed to inhibit the NOX enzymes, but not the direct targeting the tPMET. Phenoxoldiol is a modified isoflevene capable of interact with cell membrane tNOX as well as inhibiting multiple regulatory processes. Phenoxodiol has demonstrated its effect in sensitizing cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs. It is currently under clinical evaluation as adjunct treatment in combination with conventional chemotherapy drugs. Phenoxodiol has also been used as a single treatment for selected tumors. In addition, cancer cells also exhibit increased hypoxia responses, including increased expression levels and activities of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) activities, which also contribute to the aerobic glycolysis. Inhibiting HIF has shown promising efficacy effects. Apigenin is one of the naturally exited flavonoids contained in a wide range of fruits and vegetables such as apple and celery. Apigenin has been identified as multi-function inhibitor. It 2 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 induced p53 activation, suspends cell cycle progression, maintaining genomic stability, and inhibits CK2, NF-KB HIF, Her2 etc activities and their corresponding pathways. Apigenin also induces reactive oxygen species generation. Over 100 patent applications have been filed regarding apigenin. Among those, several of them claimed apigenin as a drug for treating inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases. Apigenin has also been claimed for cancer prevention drug and for combination therapy with chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment. Other isoforms of apigenin, other flavonoids, isoflavonoids including, naturally existed, modified or synthetic including phenoxodiol a synthetic isoflevene, have also been found with similar function of apigenin. All of those need to be combined with chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment. Previously, the inventor described a combination treatment composition for the use as anticancer therapy. This composition comprised of a WST-1 reagent, the mixture of a water soluble tetrazolium salt WST- 1 and an intermediate electron acceptor mPMS, in combination with apigenin, a flavonoid. According to the description, the WST-1 reagent is capable of interfere with tPMET and could be substituted by either combination of other tetrazolium salts and intermediate electron acceptors, or individual tetrazolium salts or intermediate electron acceptors, including WST-3 and WST-3 plus mPMS. Also according to the description, apigenin can be substituted by IKK inhibitors, CK2 inhibitors, inhibition of NF-KB, other flavonoids, as well as pUC19 DNA vector and corresponding siRNA sequences and all other means against the listed target genes. The proposed mechanism included inhibition of NF-KB activity, induction of reactive oxygen species, prolonged activation of JNK and inhibition of HIF. However, it did not touch blocking the ATP syntheses, and the combination of inhibition of cell surface respiration and energy production and inhibition of HIF or cell hypoxia response. Therefore, not the corresponding substitutes for the same. As cancer cells rely on the aerobic glycolysis and the tPMET for their repiration and ATP production, which may represent the features that are unique for cancer cells, therefore, direct targeting the tPMET processes, including the process of coupling of electron transfer and oxidative phoslphorylation will be useful for developing cancer specific anti-cancer treatment. However, most of the research efforts on tPMET have been focused on developing inhibitors against tumor specific NOX (tNOX). Little attention has been putting on direct targeting the tPMET process and the process of coupling the electron transfer and the oxidative phosphorylation involved in tPMET. SUMMERY OF THE INVENTION The present invention describes compounds that are cell plasma membrane impermeable and containing functional groups capable of blocking and/or inhibiting trans plasma membrane electron transport (tPMET), cell surface respiration and uncoupling cell surface oxidative phosphorylation on cell surface, compositions of combining blocking cancer cell tPMET and cell surface respiration with inhibiting cancer cell hypoxia responses, and use these compounds and compositions for cancer specific, high efficient, less toxic and broad spectrum anticancer therapy. 3 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 One embodiment of this invention described cell plasma membrane impermeable compound containing functional groups capable of blocking and/or inhibiting trans plasma membrane electron transport (tPMET), cell surface respiration and uncoupling cell surface oxidative-phosphorylation for treating cancer in patient.

III. Cancer Specific Target for Targeting tPMET Processes 8 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 Normal cells obtain energy from metabolizing glucose mainly through the Tri-Citric Acid (TCA) cycle located in mitochondria matrix. The energy that released through this process is carried in the form of NADH, which, then, releases to the H' that are further pumped out of the inner mitochondrial along with the electrons transfer by the electron transfer system located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This electron transfer process build an H' gradient across the inner mitochonfrial memebrane. Driven by the H' concentration gradient, the H' will, then, enter into the mitochondria through a proton selective ional pore, the ATP syntheses, to phosphorylate the ADP to form ATP. At the same time, one oxygen atom will accept two electrons and two H' to form one molecule of water. This is the Oxidative-Phosphorylation coupling process, through which the energy that released from the H+ gradient will be stored into the ATP (Fig 1B), the major energy source for the living cells. This process consumes oxygen to form water and is also called cell respiration. In the case of glycolysis, cells obtain energy through glucose fermentation in the cytoplasm. No oxygen is consumed during this process. Accompanying this process, the NADH that generated through glycolysis will be oxidized to NAD* by reducing pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, to form lactate in order to recycle the NAD* in cytoplasm to maintain the NADH/ND* ratio. As mentioned above, cancer cells metabolize glucose by glycolysis even in the presence of sufficient oxygen and that this switch to aerobic glycolysis process is also accompanying with tPMET. The NADH that generated through glycolysis in the cytoplasm is further oxidized to NAD* through tPMET to maintain the NADH/NAD* ratio. This process consumes oxygen on cell surface through cell plasma membrane electron transport (tPMET). Potential oxidative phosphorylation on the cell plasma membrane has been predicted. Therefore, one significant difference between normal cells and cancer cells is the different sub cellular location of cell respiration and energy production. Normal cells respiration to consume oxygen and produce ATP in mitochondria, while cancer cells do so at cell surface. As cell respiration and energy metabolism are crucial to cell survival, this differential sub cellular location of cell respiration and energy production makes the cell surface respiration and ATP syntheses a special cancer selective target for anticancer therapy. One embodiment of this present invention provides a cancer specific drug target on cancer cell surface for anticancer therapy. This target is located on/in cell plasma membrane. Its function is involved in trans-plasma electron transport systems, cell surface respiration and oxidative-phosphorylation coupling processes. They can be selectively targeted by compounds that are impermeable to cell plasma membrane. A more specific embodiment is that the target molecules include, but not limited to a cell surface proton specific ional pore with ATP syntheses activity located in the cell plasma membrane. The inhibition of this process can be direct inhibition of the function of the molecule and/or indirect interfere the proton gradient across the plasma membrane. Yet another embodiment is that each of the molecule of the tPMET systemes and their corresponding function, including, but not limited to the molecules that form the 9 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 NADH:Ferricyanide Oxidoreductase system, the NADH: Ubiquinone:WST-1 Reductase system and cell surface NADH-Oxidases are also the target to inhibit and/or block cell surface respiration. These molecules can be targeted directly or indirectly for anticancer therapy. The function of these systems can be targeted directly and indirectly for anticancer therapy. VI. Compounds targeting Cell Surface Respiration for Anticancer Therapy One embodiment of the present invention provides a principle for designing and making compounds that can be used for targeting cell surface respiration. The said compounds are composed of two functional chemical groups: 1) at least one of the first functional group that is capable of binding to and/or interfering and/or blocking the electron transport process of the tPMET systems, blocking the coupling of oxidative phosphorylation, and/or inhibiting the tNOX, therefore, to block cell surface respiration and oxygen consumption; and 2) at least one of the second chemical group or a combination of chemical groups that make(s) the entire compound impermeable to cell plasma membrane and capable of blocking the said compound penetrating the cell plasma membrane and entering the cell. By integrating these functional groups into single molecule, the said compound is capable of interfering, inhibiting and/or blocking the tPMET, or the oxidative phosphorylation process or the coupling of the oxidative phosphorylation and cell surface respiration specifically on cell surface, but not affecting the mitochondrial respiration in normal cells. One embodiment of the present invention provides such a compound, WST-3, Chemical name: 2-(4-Iodophenyl)-3-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, sodium salt (WST-3, Japanese patent JP,2592436,B, 1995), that can be used for targeting cell surface respiration, the oxidating-phosphorylation process. Fig. 1 diagrams the chemical structure of WST-3, which is composed of two types of functional chemical groups: a 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP), chemical structure linked to the tetrazolium ring as the said functional chemical group for uncoupling the said oxidative phosphorylation and the [1,3-benzenedilsulfonate] and a [4-lodophenyl] to enhance its hydrophilic feature that makes the compound impermeable to cell plasma membrane. The 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), a cellular metabolic poison, represents a class of six manufactured chemical compounds that can dissolve in the inner mitochondria membrane, acts as a proton specific ionophore, an agent that can shuttle protons (hydrogen ions) across biological membranes driven by the proton concentration gradient built by the electron transport process to enter into the mitochondria that bypass the ATP syntheses, the oxidative phosphorylation process, where it uncouples oxidative phosphorylation by carrying protons across the mitochondrial membrane, leading to a rapid consumption of energy without generating ATP. DNP defeats the proton gradient across mitochondria and chloroplast membranes, collapsing the proton motive force that the cell uses to produce most of its ATP chemical energy. Instead of producing ATP, the energy of the proton gradient is lost as heat. Cells counteract the lowered yields of ATP by oxidizing more stored reserves such as carbohydrates and fat. For this reason, DNP has been used as weight loss treatment for burning 10 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 extra fats. However, it is toxic to the cells by exoughsting cell energy sources and leads to cell death. By integrating the said DNP with the said second group, the cell plasma impermeable group, it keeps the DNP from entering the cell, but can only function on the surface of cell plasma membrane. As cancer cells respiration mainly rely on tPMET and cell surface oxygen consumption, the WST-3 will only blocks the cell surface respiration of cancer cells, but, will not affect the oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondrial of normal cells, hence, the treatment will be cancer specific. The DNP as the said first functional chemical group represents an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylatoin and may also implicate a principle of other ways of blocking tPMET and cell surface respiration.

V. Combinational Composition For Anticancer Therapy 1. A Cancer Treatment Strategy by Combination of Inhibition of HIF and Cell surface Respiration A living cell relies on energy. Unlike normal cells that consume oxygen and generate ATP in mitochondrial, cancer cells consume oxygen on cell surface through tPMET.

Pharmaceutical Composition of WST-3 And Apigenin And Use of the Combination Treatment For Cancer Therapy One specific embodiment of the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising (1) at least one Water-soluble tetrazolium salts 3 (WST-3, 2-(4-Iodophenyl)-3-(2,4 dinitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, salt, Fig TA) or its valid substitutes in combination with (2) at least one apigenin or its valid substitutes. Such a pharmaceutical composition may be administered, in a therapeutically effective amount, in optimized concentration in pharmaceutical acceptable medium, to a patient in need for the treatment of cancer. The combination of WST-3 and apigenin resulted in synergistic cancer specific death. This effect can be further enhanced by adding a third compound, 1-methoxy-5-methyl-phenazinium methyl sulfate (mPMS), and an intermediate electron acceptor. As described above, WST-3 is a water soluble tetrazoliums (WST) that were developed by Dojindo Inc., whose WSTs have sulfate groups added directly or indirectly to the phenyl ring to improve water-solubility that also makes the compound impermeable to cell plasma 16 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 membrane. Different from all other WSTs, WST-3 contains a 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) group directly linked to the tetrazolium ring (Fig 1). The DNP is an oxidative-phosphorylation uncoupler by dissolving in the inner mitochondria membrane and forming proton specific ional pores, which caused the protons enter the mitochondrial driven by the proton concentration gradient that bypass the ATP syntheses, the oxidative-phosphorylation process. This process leads to a rapid consumption of energy without generating ATP. Therefore, DNP is a mitochondria poison. It exhausts energy and ATP in the cell that leads to cell death. However, as WST-3 is impermeable to the cell plasma membrane, the incorporating DNP into the water soluble tetrozolium salts WST-3 that keeps the DNP impermeable to cell plasma membrane, hence, makes WST3 capable of mimicking the DNP effect to act on the surface of cell plasma membrane for uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation that interrupts tPMET and cell surface respiration, but does not affect mitochondria in normal cells (Fig 1). Thus, WST-3 represents classes of cell plasma membrane impermeable compounds that are capable of blocking cell surface respiration by uncoupling cell surface oxidative phosphorylation. In this way such a compound shall be able to specifically block the tPMET electron transport, cell surface respiration and/or oxidative-phosphorylation on cell surface, hence, specifically inhibit cell surface respiration and/or ATP production in cancer cells, while not affect mitochondrial respiration in normal cells.

The effective concentration of apigenin that were used may vary depending on cell type. The preferred dose is at the range of 0.001-500pM in vitro. For all the above and following embodiments, the effective concentration of WST-3 and the valid substitutes may vary depending on the individual composition and the effective concentration of each of the composition may or may not be the same concentration as that in the WST-3 and may vary from each of the compositions and their valid substitutes and between in vitro and in vivo usage.

In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the administration of the WST-3 or at least one valid substitutes of WST-3, the apigenin or at least one of the valid substitutes of apigenin can be in any type of order. Specifically, the WST-3 or at least one valid substitutes of WST-3, and the apigenin or at least one of the valid substitutes of apigenin may be administered to the cells or patient concurrently or sequentially. In other words, the apigenin or at least one of the valid substitutes of apigenin or the WST-3 or the at least one substitute of WST-3 may be administered first, or the WST-3 or at least one valid substitutes of WST-3, and the apigenin or at least one of the valid substitutes of apigenin may be administered at the same time.

In a particular embodiment, the treatment of WST-3 is in contact with cells for 15 minutes to 8 hours. The preferred time is between 30 min to 4 hours. The more preferred time is between 2-4 hours. A removal of the WST-3 or its valid substitute's from treatment is required for all the above and following embodiments to induce cancer cell death of the treated cells by this method thereof. 23 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 Moreover, the present invention provides a method for the treatment of cancer by administering to a patient, in need thereof, a therapeutically effective dose of at least one of the WST-3 or its valid substitutes and apigenin or at least one of its valid substitutes mentioned above in pharmaceutical acceptable medium. A broad spectrum of cancers may be treated using this combinatorial protocol. Cancers that may be treated using the present protocol are as listed previously in this description. ADVANTAGES According to the above description, this treatment has shown the advantages in treating cancer with high efficiency, less cytotoxic and broad spectrum of cancer types. 2. The chemical structure of WST-3 represents a model of a class of cell plasma membrane impermeable compounds that is capable of interfere the tPMET and cell surface respiration that restricts its activity on cell surface without affecting the mitochondrial respiration in the normal cells. Cell respiration is crucial to cell survival, and as cancer cells rely on cell surface oxygen consumption, this model provides a mean of cancer specific targeting. 3. This combination treatment targets the tPMET, cell surface respiration to block cell energy metabolism, and at the same time inhibit the HIF or cell responses to hypoxia. This combination strategy further enhances cancer cell sensitivity to hypoxia that lead to synergistic induction of cancer cell specific death. It is a more effective anticancer treatment. 4. As the aerobic glyclysis and tPMET are cancer specific changes and are common in almost all types of cancer cells, this treatment strategy targets the fundamental changes of cancer cells in common. This treatment can be applied to a broad spectrum of tumor type for therapy. 5. This combination treatment utilizes two non cytotoxic compounds to reach a synergistic and cancer specific induction of cancer cell death. This combination treatment is safe or at least less toxic comparing to the conventional chemotherapy. In summary this present invention provides a new concept of combinational treatment strategy for anticancer drug development. This combination treatment will selectively block the cell surface respiration of cancer cell while inhibiting their capability to response to hypoxia, therefore, to inhibit cancer cell respiration and hence the energy metabolism from two direction to obtain synergistic inducible cancer cell death. In addition, these treatments utilize non cytotoxic compounds result in synergistic cancer specific cell death, which provides a new strategy for anti-cancer drug development to reach a highly efficient, safe and broad spectrum and cancer specific anticancer therapy. Although the description above contains much specificity, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments but as merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments. For example, the WST-3 and the apigenin each represents classes of chemical compounds with similar function. Also the combination of WST-3 and 24 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 apigenin represents a new strategy and a new avenue of cancer drug development by targeting tPMET in combination with inhibition of cellular responses to hypoxia and some other related process. Thus the scope of the embodiments should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given. V. ADMINISTRATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND COMPOUNDS The pharmaceutical compositions can be administered by any suitable route, for example, by injection, by intra vaneus infusion, by intra artery infusion, by oral, pulmonary, nasal, transdermal or other methods of administration. In general, pharmaceutical compositions of the present specification comprise, among other things, pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, preservatives, solubilizers, emulsifiers, adjuvants and/or carriers. Such compositions can include diluents of various buffer content (e.g., Tris-HCl, acetate, phosphate), pH and ionic strength; and additives such as detergents and solubilizing agents (e.g., Tween 80, Polysorbate 80), anti-oxidants (e.g., ascorbic acid, sodium metabisulfite), preservatives (e.g., Thimersol, benzyl alcohol) and bulking substances (e.g., lactose, mannitol). The compositions can be incorporated into particulate preparations of polymeric compounds such as polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, etc., or into liposomes. Such compositions may influence the physical state, stability, rate of in vivo release, and rate of in vivo clearance of components of pharmaceutical compositions. Please see, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Ed. (1990, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. 18042) pages 1435-1712 which are herein incorporated by reference. The pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared, for example, in liquid form, or can be in dried powder form (e.g., lyophilized). Particular methods of administering pharmaceutical compositions are described hereinabove. In yet another embodiment, the pharmaceutical compositions can be delivered in a controlled release system, such as using an intravenous infusion, an implantable osmotic pump, a transdermal patch, liposomes, or other modes of administration. In a particular embodiment, a pump may be used (see Langer, supra; Sefton, CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng. (1987) 14:201; Buchwald et al., Surgery (1980) 88:507; Saudek et al., N. Engl. J. Med. (1989) 321:574). In another embodiment, polymeric materials may be employed (see Medical Applications of Controlled Release, Langer and Wise (eds.), CRC Press: Boca Raton, Fla. (1974); Controlled Drug Bioavailability, Drug Product Design and Performance, Smolen and Ball (eds.), Wiley: New York (1984); Ranger and Peppas, J. Macromol. Sci. Rev. Macromol. Chem. (1983) 23:61; see also Levy et al., Science (1985) 228:190; During et al., Ann. Neurol. (1989) 25:351; Howard et al., J. Neurosurg. (1989) 71:105). In yet another embodiment, a controlled release system can be placed in proximity of the target tissues of the animal, thus requiring only a fraction of the systemic dose (see, e.g., Goodson, in Medical Applications of Controlled Release, supra, (1984) vol. 2, pp. 115-138). In particular, a controlled release device can be introduced into an animal in proximity of the site of inappropriate immune activation or a tumor. Other controlled release systems are discussed in the review by Langer (Science (1990) 249:1527-1533). The conclusion that this is cancer specific programmed cell death is formed by the observation that normal cells had no cytotoxic reaction and further, that a over 90% kill rate is more than substantial 25 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 evidence of a significant finding. Therein, because this specification touches a programmed cancer cell death pathway that was prior untouched, or in the alternative, that this invention may activates a known pathway or a novel unknown pathway in a manner not able to be duplicated by other inventions, the very sequence of events defined in this specification activates programmed cell death in the cancer cells and as such, presents a valid model for further study. In other words, through processes known to those of skill, the very core molecular event leading to the over 90% kill rate, can be explored because we have the working model to induce such events. Therein, the invention is also claimed as an important model for further research, study and pathway illumination/elucidation. Although this description above and below have shown specific experimentation and data, one of skill in the art of cancer preclinical and clinical protocol structure, execution and analysis will recognize upon reading this document, through variation of the dosages of the named components, the order in which they are applied and the time frames between applications, valid substitutions of the named components there are a myriad of variable applications which may result in the same or similar outcome. To the extent that these variables can be applied to any cancer in any mammal, the inventor notes than nothing contained within this document or any subsequent documentation provided by the inventor is intended to be limiting. The inventor also notes that this specification is intended to work alone, and reduce cytotoxic effects of traditional cancer therapy, such as chemotherapy and radiation, however, nothing herein is intended to limit the use of this specification to the extent that chemotherapeutic and radiation combination therapies can be utilized in combination with this specification. Further, that the use of chemotherapy and radiation therapy combinations, in conjunction with this specification, may reduce the cytotoxicity of the chemotherapy or radiation therapy because the dosages of the chemotherapy and radiation therapy can be reduced when used in combination with this specification. And finally, that the named sprcification may further sensitize cancer cells selectively over normal cells such that subsequent application of chemotherapy and radiation, as well as combination chemo/radiation therapies, will work more efficiently again, allowing for the reduction of chemotherapy and radiation and combination chemo/radiation dosages. The foregoing description of the present specification provides illustration and description, but is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the specifications to the precise one disclosed. Modifications and variations consistent with the above teachings may be acquired from practice of the specification. Thus, it is noted that the scope of the invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents. The present specification will now be illustrated in more detail in the following examples. It is to be understood that these examples serve only to describe the specific embodiments of the present specification, but do not in any way intend to limit the scope of the claims. It is of further note to one of skill that unique sequence data has been provided in this application. To the extent that each of these new sequence data represents novel targets for the development of cancer therapeutics, nothing contained herein is intended to be limiting. Said targets are noted as potential targets for further development under this application using the above methods and other methods known to those of skilled person. Although not mentioned in this specification elsewhere, use of radiation as a distinct step, or other small molecule drugs, DNA, RNA, siRNA and all other methods for cancer therapy known to those of skill are noted as possible adjuvant to these protocols. 26 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 Examples Example 1 mPMS Dose-Response Method: A & B: HT1080 (Fig 2A) and UM-SCC6 (Fig2B) cells were treated with variable concentrations of mPMS as indicated in combination with ImM WST-1c and 10, 30 or 100 piM apigenin for 4 hours and, then, changed to normal growth medium for another 24 hours. Cell viabilities were measured by CCK8 Kit. 1 mM WST-1 only, 0.12mM mPMS only and 10% WST-lr were used as parallel control. AP 0: Untreated Control, AP 10: 10pjM Apigenin, AP 30: 30pjM Apigenin, AP 100: 100pjM Apigenin. Result: Data showed mPMS and apigenin dose dependent cell death of both HT1080 and UM scc6 cells (Fig 2A &B). mPMS IC50 of combination treatment of apigenin 100 piM and mPMS+WST-1 from HT1080 cells was 5piM verses 60piM from untreated control cells. mPMS IC50 of combination treatment of apigenin 100 piM and mPMS+WST-1 from UM-SCC6 cells was 30piM verses 80piM from untreated control cells. Example 2 Differential Cellular Responses to mPNS Treatment Non cancer human keratinocyte (HEKa), SK-Mel-5 human malonoma cell line (SK5), human head and neck cancer cell Cal27 line (Cal27) and UM-SCC6 line (SCC6) cells and human soft tissue sarcoma cell line HT1080 (HT1080) were treated with 30, 40 or 50pjM mPMS for 4 hours and then cultured in normal growth medium for another 24 hours. Cell viabilities were measured with CCK8 kit. Data showed mPMS dose dependent cell death and differential sensitivities to mPMS treatment from each of the cell lines (Fig3). Among those, the non cancer primary cultured HEKa cells showed the least sensitivity to mPMS treatment with IC50 50pjM, while the IC50 from Cal27, UM-SCC6 and HT1080 cells were 20, and 30pjM respectively. Example 3 Effect of combination treatment of WST-3 with apigenin on induction of cancer cell death Method: UM-SCC6, HT1080, Cal27, SK-Mel-5, and HEKa cells were treated with 50 or 100pjM WST-3 or 10 or 30pjM apigenin alone, or combination of WST-3 and apigenin at different concentrations for 4 hours with untreated cells as control, then, changed to normal growth medium and remained culture in this medium for another 24 hours. After the 24 hours culture, cell viabilities were measured with CCK8 Kit. Data were normalized to % of untreated control cells. Result: A: Summary of differential cell responses to WST-3, apigenin and combination treatments. Comparing to untreated cells (Ctrl) treatment of 50pjM WST-3 (WST-3) or 30pjM apigenin (Apigenin) alone showed no or limited effect of cell death to all tested cell line. Combination of WST-3 and apigenin (Apigenin+WST-3) resulted in synergistic cell death of SK-Mel-5, Cal27, UM-SCC6 and HT1080 all four tested human cancer cell lines, but limited cell death from non cancer human keratnocytes (Fig4A). 27 WO 2010/099731 PCT/CN2010/070813 B & C: Comparison of Dose-Response of WST-3 and apigenin between non cancer HEKa and human melanoma cell line SK-Mel-5 cells. Data showed both WST-3 and apigenin induced and dose dependent but limited cell death from both HEKa cells (Fig4B) and SK-Mel-5 (Fig5C) cells. HEKa cells showed limited cell death in response to apigenin or WST-3 alone treatment. WST-3 IC50 of combination of 30pM apigenin and WST-3 was 40pM. Further increase WST-3 concentration showed no more cell death from HEKa cells (Fig4B). However, the SK-Mel-5 cells showed synergistic cell death response to combination treatment of 50pM WST-3 and 30pM apigenin. The WST-3 IC50 from this combination treatment of the SK-Mel-5 cells was 20pM, one fold less than that from HEKa cells (Fig4C). The HEKa cells were much more resistant to this combination treatment. Similar results were also observed from other cancer cells. 28
