METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER USING COENZYME Q10 AND FATTY ACID METABOLISM INHIBITORS

摘要

Presented herein are methods for the treatment of oncological disorders by the co-administration of CoQ10 compositions and at least one fatty acid metabolism inhibitor. In one embodiment, the CoQ10 compositions are lipid-containing compositions. The fatty acid metabolism inhibitor may be an inhibitor of fatty acid synthesis, storage, transport or degradation. The fatty acid metabolism inhibitor may also be a modulator of fatty acid structure, for example a fatty acid desaturase or elongase. The fatty acid inhibitor may inhibit any molecule involved in fatty acid metabolism, such as fatty acid synthase (FASN), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT-1), long-chain 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase, or stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD-1). In embodiments, the fatty acid metabolism inhibitor may be C75, Etomoxir, trimetazidine or A939572.
