*Abstract

Uses Small Drug-Like Molecules to Prevent Cancer Cell Proliferation

This breakthrough approach to treating cancer is efficacious and has limited side effects. Cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for one in four deaths annually, according to the American Cancer Society. An estimated 595,600 Americans will die of cancer-related causes in 2016, and predictions for the future continue to rise. Existing treatments often suffer from a lack of efficacy or lead to debilitating side effects for the patient. Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a distinct therapy to specifically target cancerous cell proliferation and halt the growth of tumors and the spread of cancer. This breakthrough treatment also has minimal side effects, making it a desirable treatment for both the patient and health practitioner.

Application

A therapeutic cancer treatment that inhibits the proliferation of cancer

Advantages

Capable of preventing and treating cancer and other cell proliferation diseases, offering a therapy that is effective at a lower concentrations
Decreases cancerous cell proliferation, inhibiting the spread of cancer to other sites and improving the probability of life expectancy
Minimal side effects, improving patient quality of life and providing a significant market advantage

Technology

This technology is a specially designed therapeutic that treats and prevents cell proliferation diseases such as cancer. Small drug-like molecules are used to bind the dichloroacetate (DCA) binding pocket of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoform 2 (PDK2) and inhibit cancer cell proliferation. A patient suffering from or susceptible to a PDK2 mediated disorder or disease is administered a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that activates PDK2 activity, thereby receiving treatment.
