Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 140 words
A method of increasing the sensitivity of a tumor to an antineoplastic agent, which tumor is harbored in a subject and which tumor is resistant to said antineoplastic agent, comprising concurrently administering to said subject an antineoplastic agent and a potentiating agent, said potentiating agent selected from the class consisting of ##STR2## wherein: R 1 is halogen; R 2 is selected from the class consisting of hydrogen, halogen, C 1-4 alkoxy, --OCH 2 C 6 H 5 , and --CH═CHCO 2 R, wherein R is C 1-4 alkyl; and R 3 is selected from the class consisting of C 1-4 alkyl, --CH 2 CH═CH 2 , and--CH 2 C 6 H 4 CH 3; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, said potentiating agent being administered in an amount effective to increase the sensitivity of said tumor to said antineoplastic agent.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 140 words
A method of increasing the sensitivity of a tumor to an antineoplastic agent, which tumor is harbored in a subject and which tumor is resistant to said antineoplastic agent, comprising concurrently administering to said subject an antineoplastic agent and a potentiating agent, said potentiating agent selected from the class consisting of ##STR2## wherein: R 1 is halogen; R 2 is selected from the class consisting of hydrogen, halogen, C 1-4 alkoxy, --OCH 2 C 6 H 5 , and --CH═CHCO 2 R, wherein R is C 1-4 alkyl; and R 3 is selected from the class consisting of C 1-4 alkyl, --CH 2 CH═CH 2 , and--CH 2 C 6 H 4 CH 3; and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, said potentiating agent being administered in an amount effective to increase the sensitivity of said tumor to said antineoplastic agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said antineoplastic agent is administered to said subject parenterally and said potentiating agent is administered to said subject parenterally.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said antineoplastic agent is selected from the class consisting of vinca alkaloids, epipodophyllotoxins, anthracycline antibiotics, actinomycin D, plicamycin, puromycin, gramicidin D, taxol, colchicine, cytochalasin B, emetine, maytansine, and amsacrine.

Dependent Claim 12 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said compound is 1-(3-Benzyloxy-4'-chlorobenzhydryl)-4-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 12 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said compound is 1-(3-Benzyloxy-4'-chlorobenzhydryl)-4-(3-methylbenzyl)piperazine dihydrochloride.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 12 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said compound is 1-(2-Bromo-4'-chlorobenzhydryl)-4-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 12 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said compound is 1-(α-(4-Bromophenyl)-3-methoxybenzyl)-4-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride.
