• arsenic trioxide is limited by its toxicity.
• OA on the other hand, are much less toxic, to the extent that the methylation of inorganic arsenic in vivo into OA has been considered to be a detoxification reaction.
• the OA monomethylarsinic acid and dimethylarsinic acid are the primary metabolites of inorganic arsenic (Hughes et al., 1998).
• Inorganic arsenicals, including arsenic trioxide have varied effects on many organ systems, including cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, skin, nervous system, and blood.
• Inorganic arsenicals are particularly toxic to the liver, causing infiltration, central necrosis, and cirrhosis (IARC, 1980: ACGIH, 1991; Beliles et al., 1994; Goyer et al., 1996). There is now sufficient evidence that inorganic arsenic compounds are skin and lung carcinogens in humans (Goyer et al., 1996).
• toxicity of a given arsenical is related to the rate of its clearance from the body and to the extent of its tissue accumulation (Beliles et al., 1994). In general, toxicity increases in the following sequence: organic arsenicals ⁇ As 5+ ⁇ As 3+ (including arsenic trioxide) ⁇ arsine. Unlike inorganic arsenicals, no deaths or serious cases of toxicity due to OA have been reported in the literature. Consequently, in mammals the methylation of inorganic arsenic has been considered a detoxification mechanism because of the lower toxicity of methylated OA, and their fast excretion and low retention (Beliles et al., 1994; Goyer et al., 1996).
• a good example is that of dimethylarsinic acid, an organic compound, the predominant urinary metabolite excreted by most mammals after exposure to inorganic arsenic, including arsenic trioxide.

• the Hodgkin's lymphoma is Hodgkin's nodular sclerosis.
• Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that occurs when lymphocytes—white blood cells that help protect the body from infection and disease—begin behaving abnormally. Abnormal lymphocytes may divide faster than normal cells or they may live longer than they are supposed to. Lymphoma may develop in many parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood, or other organs. There are two main types of lymphomas: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
• NHL non-Hodgkin lymphoma
• Peripheral T-cell lymphomas are tumors composed of mature T-cells (not B-cells).
• Peripheral T-cell lymphomas such as angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma or anaplastic large cell lymphoma can arise in lymph nodes, while others like subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma, or intestinal T-cell lymphoma can arise in extranodal sites.
• lymphomas are the most common type of lymphoma. These cancers may arise in lymph nodes or in extranodal sites, including the gastrointestinal tract, testes, thyroid, skin, breast, central nervous system, or bone and may be localized or generalized (spread throughout the body).
• Marginal zone tumors are indolent B-cell lymphomas and may occur either outside lymph nodes (extranodal) or within lymph nodes (nodal). They are divided into two categories depending on the location of the lymphoma.
• Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas also called MALT or MALTomas
• MALT mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas
• Nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas are uncommon and are sometimes called monocytoid B-cell lymphomas.
• lymph nodes In Hodgkin's nodular sclerosis, the involved lymph nodes contain areas composed of Reed-Sternberg cells mixed with normal white blood cells. The lymph nodes often contain prominent scar tissue, hence the name nodular sclerosis (scarring). This subtype is the most common, making up 60% to 75% of all cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma.

• compositions of the present invention administered to a patient will follow general protocols for the administration of chemotherapeutics, taking into account the toxicity, if any. It is expected that the treatment cycles would be repeated as necessary. It also is contemplated that various standard therapies or adjunct cancer therapies, as well as surgical intervention, may be applied in combination with the described arsenical agent. These therapies include but are not limited to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy and surgery. The section below describes some adjunct cancer therapies:
• Cancer therapies also include a variety of combination therapies with both chemical and radiation based treatments.
• Combination chemotherapies include, for example, cisplatin (CDDP), carboplatin, procarbazine, mechlorethamine, cyclophosphamide, camptothecin, ifosfamide, melphalan, chlorambucil, busulfan, nitrosurea, dactinomycin, daunorubicin, doxorubicin, bleomycin, plicomycin, mitomycin, etoposide (VP16), tamoxifen, raloxifene, estrogen receptor binding agents, taxol, gemcitabine, navelbine, farnesyl-protein transferase inhibitors, transplatinum, 5-fluorouracil, vincristin, vinblastin and methotrexate, or any analog or derivative variant of the foregoing.
• CDDP cisplatin
• carboplatin carboplatin
• DNA damaging factors include what are commonly known as ⁇ -rays, X-rays, and/or the directed delivery of radioisotopes to tumor cells.
• Other forms of DNA damaging factors are also contemplated such as microwaves and UV-irradiation. It is most likely that all of these factors effect a broad range of damage on DNA, on the precursors of DNA, on the replication and repair of DNA, and on the assembly and maintenance of chromosomes.
• Dosage ranges for X-rays range from daily doses of 50 to 200 roentgens for prolonged periods of time (3 to 4 wk), to single doses of 2000 to 6000 roentgens.
• Dosage ranges for radioisotopes vary widely, and depend on the half-life of the isotope, the strength and type of radiation emitted, and the uptake by the neoplastic cells.
• the terms “contacted” and “exposed,” when applied to a cell, are used herein to describe the process by which a therapeutic construct and a chemotherapeutic or radiotherapeutic agent are delivered to a target cell or are placed in direct juxtaposition with the target cell. To achieve cell killing or stasis, both agents are delivered to a cell in a combined amount effective to kill the cell or prevent it from dividing.
• Immunotherapeutics generally, rely on the use of immune effector cells and molecules to target and destroy cancer cells.
• the immune effector may be, for example, an antibody specific for some marker on the surface of a tumor cell.
• the antibody alone may serve as an effector of therapy or it may recruit other cells to actually effect cell killing.
• the antibody also may be conjugated to a drug or toxin (chemotherapeutic, radionucleotide, ricin A chain, cholera toxin, pertussis toxin, etc.) and serve merely as a targeting agent.
• the effector may be a lymphocyte carrying a surface molecule that interacts, either directly or indirectly, with a tumor cell target.
• Various effector cells include cytotoxic T cells and NK cells.
• Immunotherapy could be used as part of a combined therapy, in conjunction with gene therapy.
• the general approach for combined therapy is discussed below.
• the tumor cell must bear some marker that is amenable to targeting, i.e., is not present on the majority of other cells.
• Common tumor markers include carcinoembryonic antigen, prostate specific antigen, urinary tumor associated antigen, fetal antigen, tyrosinase (p9′7), gp68, TAG-72, HMFG, Sialyl Lewis Antigen, MucA, MucB, PLAP, estrogen receptor, laminin receptor, erb B and p155.
• the secondary treatment is a secondary gene therapy in which a therapeutic polynucleotide is administered before, after, or at the same time a first therapeutic agent. Delivery of the therapeutic agent in conjunction with a vector encoding a gene product will have a combined anti-hyperproliferative effect on target tissues.
• Curative surgery is a cancer treatment that may be used in conjunction with other therapies, such as the treatment of the present invention, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy and/or alternative therapies. Curative surgery includes resection in which all or part of cancerous tissue is physically removed, excised, and/or destroyed. Tumor resection refers to physical removal of at least part of a tumor. In addition to tumor resection, treatment by surgery includes laser surgery, cryosurgery, electrosurgery, and microscopically controlled surgery (Mohs' surgery). It is further contemplated that the present invention may be used in conjunction with removal of superficial cancers, precancers, or incidental amounts of normal tissue.

• GMZ27 an organic arsine having the following structure
• GMZ27 had significantly higher activity than arsenic trioxide against both human leukemia cell lines and leukemic cells obtained from patients with acute or chronic leukemia (FIG. 27B).
• Arsenic trioxide exerted its anti-leukemic activity in cells other than APL via several mechanisms, including induction of apoptosis, alteration in the production of intracellular ROS resulting in the modulation of cellular GSH redox system, cell differentiation/maturation and possible effect on cell cycle regulation.
• GMZ27 was more potent in induction of apoptosis than ATO. Results show that it activated the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, as it altered mitochondrial membrane potential and cleaved caspase 9, but also by alternate, extrinsic, pathway since it cleaved caspase 8. This resulted in the induction of caspase 3 activity, cleavage of PARP, and binding of annexin V to the cells (FIGS. 28 and 29).
• GMZ27 buthionine sulfoximine(BSO) renders them more sensitive to GMZ27; while pretreatment with dthiothreitol (DTT) or N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which may increase intracellular GSH, rendered the cells less sensitive (FIG. 30).
• DTT dthiothreitol
• NAC N-acetylcysteine
• GMZ27 at low doses, was found to partially induce cell differentiation/maturation as judged by the induction of CD11b maturation marker on the surface of cells. This effect was marginal compared with that of ATO (FIG. 32). GMZ27 had no effect on the cell cycle progression (FIG. 33).
• GMZ7 Toxicity of GMZ7 against healthy donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells has been evaluated in a long-term colony forming assay. GMZ27 was less toxic to normal cells than ATO (FIG. 34).
• GMZ27 Studies to determine the toxicity of a single dose injection of GMZ27 were performed in normal Swiss-Webster mice. Toxicity was measured on the basis of mortality. It was found that the concentration of GMZ27 that kills 50% of mice (LD 50 ) was 100 mg/kg. In contrast, the LD 50 for ATO was much lower, at only 10 mg/kg.
