Methods of treating bone cancer are disclosed. The methods comprise administering to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (Ia) wherein R, R, R, R, and Rare described herein, wherein at least two of the five R, R, R, R, and Rsubstituents are always hydrogen, at least one of the five substituents is always nitro, and at least one substituent positioned adjacent to a nitro is always iodo, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Treatment of cancer

Methods of treating ovarian cancer, endometrium cancer, cervical cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, eve cancer, central nervous system cancer, thyroid cancer and lung cancer are disclosed. Specifically disclosed are methods of treating ovarian adenocarcinoma that has migrated into the abdominal cavity, a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, an epithelioid carcinoma in a pancreatic duct, an adenocarcinoma in a pancreatic duct, an adenocarcinoma in the cervical epithelium. The methods comprise administering to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (Ia) wherein R, R, R, R, and Rare described herein, wherein at least two of the five R, R, R, R, and Rsubstituents are always hydrogen, at least one of the five substituents is always nitro, and at least one substituent positioned adjacent to a nitro is always iodo, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

The present invention is directed to a method for inhibiting viral replication and treating viral infections by administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound capable of binding a microtubule such as a diiodo thyronine analogue having no significant hormonal activity. The present invention also features novel pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same.

Methods for treating viral infections using a compound capable of inhibiting microtubules

A method for inhibition of retroviral replication by manipulation of enzyme adenosine diphosphoribosyl transferase which endogenously inhibits retroviral reverse transcriptase. The method is useful for prevention and treatment of retroviral infections, including HIV. The inhibition of the viral replication is achieved by administration to a mammal susceptible to or infected with a retrovirus drugs which specifically inhibit poly-ADP-ribosylation of adenosine diphosphoribosyl transferase.

Method for inhibition of retroviral replication

The present invention is directed to a method for treating cancers by administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a diiodo thyronine analogue having no significant hormonal activity and a vinca alkaloid or biologically active analog thereof.
