Phosphonic acid agents are synthesized and characterized which are potent inhibitors of angiogenesis, tumorigenesis and metalloproteinase activity. Their method of use for the inhibition of angiogenesis and metalloproteinase and the treatment of tumors is also shown.

Method for treating infection using steroid based pharmaceutical

A method of inhibiting angiogenesis in a patient includes administering to the patient an effective amount of squalamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of squalamine. Alternatively, a compound according to the following Formula (III) (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) can be administered: ##STR1## wherein Z.sub.5 is .alpha.-H or .beta.-H; each of the substituents Z.sub.7 is selected from the group of --H, --OH, --SH, --NH.sub.2, --F, --(C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)-alkyl, and --(C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)-alkoxy; and one of the substituents Z.sub.12 is --H and the other is --H or --OH. X' is a polyamine side chain of the formula --X.sub.1 --(CH.sub.2).sub.p --X.sub.2 --(CH.sub.2).sub.q --N(R.sup.II)(R.sup.III), wherein one of X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 is --N(R.sup.IV) and the other is selected from the group of --N(R.sup.V), --O, --S, and --CH.sub.2. R.sup.IV and R.sup.V are each --H or --(C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)-alkyl, p and q are each an integer of from 0 to 5 (but both are not 0). R.sup.II and R.sup.III in the formula for X' are each --H, --(C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)-alkyl, or --(CH.sub.2).sub.r --N(R.sub.10)(R.sub.11) wherein r is an integer from 2 to 5 and R.sub.10 and R.sub.11 are each --H or --(C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)-alkyl. R' in Formula (III) is --H or --(C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)-alkyl, and Y' is --(C.sub.1 -C.sub.10)-alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted with --CO.sub.2 H, --OH, --NH--SO.sub.2 CF.sub.3, --SO.sub.3 H, --PO.sub.3 H.sub.2, --OSO.sub.3 H, --CF.sub.3, --F, ##STR2##

Method for inhibiting angiogenesis using squalamine and squalamine

Aurintricarboxylic acid has potent anti-angiogenic activity and may be used for new therapeutic approaches for diseases of neovascularization including the treatment of solid tumors, diabetic retinopathy and arthritis, among others.
