Sunshine Biopharma’s Adva-27a Destroys Cancer Cells Expressing P-glycoprotein, a Marker Present in Over 50% of All Cancer Types

  • SBFM announced that it has elucidated the mechanism of action of Adva-27a, the Company’s flagship anticancer drug candidate. Adva-27a has been found to have two activities: (i) evasion of P-glycoprotein, and (ii) inhibition of Topoisomerase II.
  • P-glycoprotein is the most often encountered transmembrane efflux protein responsible for multidrug resistance in over 50% of all cancer types. By escaping the efflux pump of P-glycoprotein, Adva-27a is able to accumulate inside cancer cells and destroy them by inhibiting Topoisomerase II, a DNA unwinding enzyme preferentially used by cancer cells to multiply.
  • Multidrug resistance is by far the biggest challenge in cancer therapy and P-glycoprotein is the major culprit. A plethora of anticancer drugs that are central to chemotherapeutic regimes are susceptible to the P-glycoprotein efflux activity.

“The implications of this development are vast in the context of cancer therapy as a whole,” said Dr. Steve Slilaty, CEO of Sunshine Biopharma. “We are excited to soon have a new drug available for cancer sufferers around the world,” he added.
