Title:	Antioxidant enhancement of therapy for hyperproliferative conditions
Abstract:	A method to enhance the cytotoxic activity of an antineoplastic drug comprising administering an effective amount of the antineoplastic drug to a host exhibiting abnormal cell proliferation in combination with an effective cytotoxicity-increasing amount of an antioxidant. The invention also includes a method to decrease the toxicity to an antineoplastic agent or increase the therapeutic index of an antineoplastic agent administered for the treatment of a solid growth of abnormally proliferating cells, comprising administering an antioxidant prior to, with, or following the antineoplastic treatment.

Patent Claims:	1. A method to enhance the cytotoxicity of an antineoplastic drug for the treatment of a disorder of abnormal cell proliferation, the method comprising administering an effective amount of the antineoplastic drug to a host in need of such treatment in combination with an effective cytotoxicity-increasing amount of an antioxidant, wherein the antioxidant is a mono-ester or di-ester of probucol. 2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the mono-ester or di-ester of probucol is an ester of succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, azelaic acid or maleic acid. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the antineoplastic agent is selected from the group consisting of Aceglatone; Aclarubicin; Altretamine; Aminoglutethimide; 5-Aminogleavulinic Acid; Amsacrine; Anastrozole; Ancitabine Hydrochloride; 17-1A Antibody; Antilymphocyte Immunoglobulins; Antineoplaston A10; Asparaginase; Pegaspargase; Azacitidine; Azathioprine; Batimastat; Benzoporphyrin Derivative; Bicalutamide; Bisantrene Hydrochloride; Bleomycin Sulphate; Brequinar Sodium; Broxuridine; Busulphan; Campath-IH; Caracemide; Carbetimer; Carboplatin; Carboquone; Carmofur; Carmustine; Chlorambucil; Chlorozotocin; Chromomycin; Cisplatin; Cladribine; Corynebacterium parvum; Cyclophosphamide; Cyclosporin; Cytarabine; Dacarbazine; Dactinomycin; Daunorubicin Hydrochloride; Decitabine; Diaziquone; Dichlorodiethylsulphide; Didemnin B.; Docetaxel; Doxifluridine; Doxorubicin Hychloride; Droloxifene; Echinomycin; Edatrexate; Elliptinium; Elmustine; Enloplatin; Enocitabine; Epirubicin Hydrochloride; Estramustine Sodium Phosphate; Etanidazole; Ethoglucid; Etoposide; Fadrozole Hydrochloride; Fazarabine; Fenretinide; Floxuridine; Fludarabine Phosphate; Fluorouracil; Flutamide; Formestane; Fotemustine; Gallium Nitrate; Gencitabine; Gusperimus; Homoharringtonine; Hydroxyurea; Idarubicin Hydrochloride; Ifosfamide; Ilmofosine; Improsulfan Tosylate; Inolimomab; Interleukin-2; Irinotecan; JM-216; Letrozole; Lithium Gamolenate; Lobaplatin; Lomustine; Lonidamine; Mafosfamide; Meiphalan; Menogaril; Mercaptopurine; Methotrexate; Methotrexate Sodium; Miboplatin; Miltefosine; Misonidazole; Mitobronitol; Mitoguazone Dihydrochioride; Mitolactol; Mitomycin; Mitotane; Mitozanetrone Hydrochloride; Mizoribine; Mopidamol; Muitlaichilpeptide; Muromonab-CD3; Mustine Hydrochloride; Mycophenolic Acid; Mycophenolate Mofetil; Nedaplatin; Nilutamide; Nimustine Hydrochloride; Oxaliplatin; Paclitaxel; PCNU; Penostatin; Peplomycin Sulphate; Pipobroman; Pirarubicin; Piritrexim Isethionate; Piroxantrone Hydrochloride; Plicamycin; porfimer Sodium; Prednimustine; Procarbazine Hydrochloride; Raltitrexed; Ranimustine; Razoxane; Rogletimide; Roquinimex; Sebriplatin; Semustine; Sirolimus; Sizofiran; Sobuzoxane; Sodium Bromebrate; Sparfosic Acid; Sparfosate Sodium; Sreptozocin; Sulofenur; Tacrolimus; Tamoxifen; Tegafur; Teloxantrone Hydrochloride; Temozolomide; Teniposide; Testolactone; Tetrasodium Mesotetraphenylporphine-sulphonate; Thioguanine; Thioinosine; Thiotepa; Topotecan; Toremifene; Treosulfan; Trimetrexate; Trofosfamide; Tumor Necrosis Factor; Ubenimex; Uramustine; Vinblastine Sulphate; Vincristine Sulphate; Vindesine Sulphate; Vinorelbine Tartrate; Vorozole; Zinostatin; Zolimomab Aritox; and Zorubicin Hydrochloride. 4.
