摘要:
Methods of using redox APE1/Ref-1 inhibitors to treat prostate cancer, and particularly, metastatic prostate cancer, are disclosed. Particularly, small molecule inhibitors of APE1/Ref-1 redox activity have been found to decrease cell proliferation and induce cell cycle arrest in metastatic prostate cancer cell lines. Further, these APE1/Ref-1 redox inhibitors can be used to reduce expression of survivin, which has been shown to be overexpressed in primary and metastatic tumors.
