2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said antiproliferative agent is camptothecin.
3. A method of treatment of a host with a cellular proliferative disease, comprising contacting said host with amonafide in conjunction with an antiproliferative agent, each in an amount sufficient to have an anticancer effect on said cellular proliferative disease, wherein said cellular proliferative disease is a solid tumor, and wherein said antiproliferative agent is selected from the group consisting of vinbiastine, genistein, 5-fluorouracil, paclitaxel, etoposide, curcumin, parthenolide, and rosmarinic acid.
4. The method according to claim 1 or 3 , wherein said antiproliferative agent is 5-FU.
5. The method according to claim 1 or 3 , wherein said antiproliferative agent is genistein.
6. The method according to claim 1 or 3 , wherein said antiproliferative agent is rosmarinic acid.
7. The method according to claim 1 or 3 wherein said host is a human.
8. The method according to claim 1 or 3 wherein said amonafide is administered before the administration of said antiproliferative agent.
9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein said amonafide is administered less than 4 hours before the administration of said antiproliferative agent.
10. The method according to claim 1 or 3 wherein said amonafide is administered during the administration of said antiproliferative agent.
11. The method according to claim 1 or 3 wherein said amonafide is administered after the administration of said antiproliferative agent.
12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein said amonafide is administered less than 4 hours after the administration of said antiproliferative agent.
13. The method of claim 1 or 3 wherein said anticancer effect is greater than that for said antiproliferative agent alone.
