The present invention is directed to the use of benzimidazole derivatives for the treatment of tumors and in combination with tumor suppressor gene therapy. In a particular embodiment, treatment of p53-positive tumors with benzimidazole derivatives induces p53 expression and increases its half-life, resulting in apoptotic death of the tumor cells. Similarly, in conjunction with p53 gene therapy, benzimidazole derivatives induce p53 expression and accumulation in tumor cells regardless of their p53 status. The combination treatment subsequently elicits apoptosis of the tumor cells.

La présente invention a trait à l'utilisation de dérivés du benzimidazole dans le traitement de tumeurs et en combinaison avec une thérapie génique faisant appel à des gènes suppresseurs de tumeurs. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le traitement de tumeurs positives à l'égard du p53 avec des dérivés du benzimidazole provoque l'expression du p53 et augmente sa demi-vie, ce qui entraîne la mort apoptotique des cellules tumorales. De la même façon, en conjugaison avec une thérapie génique faisant appel au p53, les dérivés du benzimidazole provoquent l'expression du p53 et l'accumulation dans les cellules tumorales, quel que soit l'état de p53 de ces cellules. Le traitement combiné provoque par la suite l'apoptose des cellules tumorales.
