Methods and medical devices for treating a proliferative disorder in a subject, e.g., restenosis in a blood vessel that has been implanted with a stent, employ a bis(thio-hydrazide amide) represented by Structural Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. n nY is a covalent bond or an optionally substituted straight chained hydrocarbyl group, or, Y, taken together with both >C=Z groups to which it is bonded, is an optionally substituted aromatic group. n R 1 -R 4 are independently —H, an optionally substituted aliphatic group, an optionally substituted aryl group, or R 1 and R 3 taken together with the carbon and nitrogen atoms to which they are bonded, and/or R 2 and R 4 taken together with the carbon and nitrogen atoms to which they are bonded, form a non-aromatic heterocyclic ring optionally fused to an aromatic ring. n R 7 -R 8 are independently —H, an optionally substituted aliphatic group, or an optionally substituted aryl group. Z is O or S. |
