Pathological or otherwise undesirable cell or tissue growth in mammals, including humans, is inhibited by administering thereto a composition exemplified by (1) a water-soluble cyclodextrin sulfate salt, together with (2) a growth-inhibiting organic compound. The growth-inhibiting compound (2) may be a steroid having no inhibiting effect in the absence of (1), or an organic compound which may be an active growth inhibitor, the action of which is potentiated by (1). The invention provides a method for inhibiting angiogenesis and controlling the growth of tumors as well as treating other diseases and pathological conditions associated with undesired cell or tissue growth, including angiogenesis.n[WO8906536A1] |
