Agents and methods for chemoprevention and treatment of neoplasia are described, the agents including a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase and a combination of a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase and an inhibitor of cylcooxygenase-2 in a pharmaceutical composition. The agents and methods are used for chemoprevention and treatment of neoplasia including colorectal cancer and other cancers affecting epithelial cells throughout the body. The agents can also be used to treat the fibrosis that occurs with radiation therapy, as well as adenomatous polyps, including those with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
Ophthalmologic Treatment Methods Using Selective Inos Inhibitors
Therapeutic methods for the prevention and treatment of ophthalmologic conditions are described, the methods including administering to a subject in need thereof a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase.
Neuroprotective Treatment Methods Using Selective Inos Inhibitors
Therapeutic methods for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative conditions are described, the methods including administering to a subject in need thereof a neuroprotective effective amount of a selective inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase.
