Abstract

The present invention provides for a perillyl alcohol (POH) carbamate, such as POH-Rolipram. The present invention also provides for a method of treating a disease such as cancer, by delivering to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of POH-Rolipram.

Claims (5)

1. A method for treating a cancer in a mammal, comprising administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of perillyl alcohol carbamate using a nasal delivery device, wherein the perillyl alcohol carbamate comprises perillyl alcohol conjugated with rolipram, wherein the cancer is a tumor of the nervous system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nasal delivery device is selected from the group consisting of an intranasal inhaler, an intranasal spray device, an atomizer, a nebulizer, a metered dose inhaler (MDI), a pressurized dose inhaler, an insufflator, a unit dose container, a pump, a dropper, a nasal spray bottle, a squeeze bottle and a bi-directional device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tumor is a glioblastoma.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of treating the mammal with radiation.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of delivering to the mammal a chemotherapeutic agent.
