S100 PROTEIN INHIBITORS FOR TREATING LEUKEMIA

摘要

The present invention is directed to compounds, composition and method for reducing or inhibiting the differentiation or development of progenitor blood cells into leukemia cells, Particularly, the invention describes the use of inhibitors of S100 proteins, including myeloid related proteins (MRP). Inhibition of the activity or synthesis of S100 proteins results in the reduction or inhibition of the production or proliferation of leukemia cells.
