Abstract
Methods and compositions suitable for the treatment of malignancies in subjects with a germline deletion polymorphism that blocks the activity of thymidine kinase inhibitors in triggering apoptosis in tumor cells or in subjects having a mutation in or a dysregulation of the AHI1 gene are disclosed. These methods employ an alkylating hexitol derivative such as dianhydrogalactitol, a derivative or analog of dianhydrogalactitol, diacetyldianhydrogalactitol, a derivative or analog of diacetyldianhydrogalactitol, dibromodulcitol, and a derivative or analog of dibromodulcitol. The compositions can include such alkylating hexitol derivatives. The methods can further include administration of a BH3 mimetic, and the compositions can further include a BH3 mimetic. In subjects having a dysregulation of the AHI1 gene, the methods can further include the administration of an agent modulating the expression or activity of the AHI1 gene or AHI1 protein, and the compositions can further include such an agent.
