Eradicate CML?????

[Guest guest]

" ScienceDaily (June 8, 2009) — In the battle against cancer, allies can come

from unexpected sources. Research at The Laboratory has yielded a new

approach to treating leukemia, one that targets leukemia-proliferating cells

with drugs that are already on the market.

" Li also treated mice with CML with Zileuton, an asthma medication that inhibits

the Alox5 inflammation pathway, as well imatinib, commonly known as Gleevec, the

most effective current leukemia medication. Imatinib effectively treated CML,

but Zileuton was more effective. The two drugs combined provided an even better

therapeutic effect. The Laboratory is seeking patent protection on the

novel approach to treat CML that Li and colleagues have demonstrated. '
