Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the fields of pharmaceutical chemistry and formulation. More particularly, it concerns the use of an effective amount of riboflavin and amino acids, in any combination, in the alleviation of the nutritional, metabolic and toxic symptoms of cancer and cancer chemotherapy in diagnosed cancer patients.
  • TPN total parenteral nutrition
  • TPN facilitated cancer progression through supply of large quantities of nutrients necessary for cancer growth, suggesting that the broad use of TPN in cancer patients could be deleterious at worst or ineffective at best. While it has been clearly shown that exogenous substrates have a distinct effect on both host and cancer metabolism, the characteristics of the substrates, such as caloric intake and the kind of amino acids used appear to be crucial for a selective response. As a result, fatigue and weakness are currently not indicators for the use of TPN in cancer patients.
  • amino acids have indicated promise as nutritional supplements in the treatment of a variety of disorders, including cancer.
  • arginine has properties which suggest that it may be of value both nutritionally and immunologically when administered as a dietary supplement.
  • research has shown that a retardation in tumor growth, tumor regression, decreased tumor incidence, or a combination of all three can be affected by the administration of dietary arginine.
  • mixtures which contain arginine as well as a variety of other amino acids, sugars, vitamins, and nucleobases have exhibited potentially cytotoxic effects against several cancer cell lines.
  • the non-essential amino-acid glycine has been shown to inhibit hepatocyte proliferation, and may have general anticancer properties as a dietary supplement.
  • the present invention provides a method for the treatment or alleviation of cancer chemotherapy toxicity, involving administering to a patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising therapeutically-effective amounts of riboflavin, a component of the urea cycle, and effective amounts of the amino acids alanine, glycine, serine, taurine, threonine, and valine.
  • a further aspect of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutically acceptable agent for the alleviation of the symptoms of fatigue and weakness associated with cancer and cancer cytotoxicity, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of riboflavin, an effector of the urea cycle, and one or more amino acids selected from a group of essential and non-essential amino acids, wherein the latter two constituents are in free form or pharmacologically acceptable salts.
  • a preferred composition consists of the six amino acids, alanine, glycine, serine, taurine, threonine, and valine; an effector of the urea cycle selected from L-arginine, L-omithine, and L-citrulline; riboflavin; and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent.
  • Riboflavin used within the present invention, can be obtained from a commercial source (e.g., Spectrum Laboratory Products, Inc., Gardena, Calif.) or can be prepared synthetically by any known technique in the art, e.g. by condensation of a ribitylxylidine azo derivative with barbituric acid (Yoneda, F. et al., J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. I, 348 (1978); U.S. Pat. No. 2,807,611).
  • riboflavin is preferably obtained from a fermentation process of any number of bacteria, or through a combination of synthetic and biotechnology techniques described in the art (U.S. Pat. No. 6,150,364; U.S. Pat. No. 5,589,355).
  • the amino acids used within the present invention can be obtained from a commercial source (e.g., Kyowa Hakko Kogyo Co., LTD., Tokyo, Japan), by fermentation methods, or can be prepared synthetically using any number of techniques in the art, e.g. through the displacement reactions on ⁇ -halo acids.
  • the amino acids are preferably prepared synthetically.

  • the compounds of the present invention can also exist in different stereoisomeric forms by virtue of the presence of one or more asymmetric centers in the compound.
  • the present invention contemplates L- stereoisomeric forms of the compounds, as well as mixtures thereof, including racemic mixtures.
  • Individual stereoisomers may be obtained commercially, or by methods known in the art, such as the separation of stereoisomers in chiral chromatographic columns.
  • the compounds of the present invention can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically-acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like.
  • solvated forms of the compounds are considered to be equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of the present invention.
  • pharmaceutically-acceptable salts means salts which have the biological activity of the parent compound while lacking any toxic activity at the selected administration level. Determination of whether a salt is pharmaceutically-acceptable salt can be determined readily by methods known to those of skill in the art.
