Description
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
This invention describes pharmaceutical compositions containing phosphole derivatives complexed with gold or platinium and their use in particular for the prevention or treatment of pathologies associated with an excess activity of human glutathione reductase and/or thioredoxin reductase. These components act as irreversible inhibitors of glutathione and thioredoxin reductases.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
– Prevention or treatment of cancers, rheumatoid polyarthritis, psoriasis or Sögren syndrome.
– Prevention or treatment of resistance to anti-cancerous drugs.
The anti-tumour activity of this pharmaceutical composition was tested in vivo on rat and showed a 44% reduction of the tumour size.
