Methods and pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting tumor cell growth
First Claim
1. A method for inhibiting proliferation of a PPARγ
- -responsive hyperproliferative cell, comprising contacting the cell with a) a PPARγ
agonist in an amount effective to inhbit proliferation of the cell, and b) a MAP kinase inhibitor.

Abstract
A method for inhibiting proliferation of a PPAR γ-responsive hyperproliferative cell which comprises the step of contacting the cell with (I) an inhibitory amount of a PPARγ agonist and (II) a MAP kinase inhibitor is disclosed. A method for treating or prophylactically preventing in an animal subject a disorder characterized by unwanted proliferation of PPARγ-responsive hyperproliferative cells which comprises administering to the subject (I) an inhibitory amount of a PPARγ agonist and (II) a MAP kinase inhibitor is also disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a PPARγ agonist and a MAP kinase inhibitor are disclosed for use in the methods.
