Abstrakt: | Researchers at Korea University in Seoul, South Korea have developed a new approach to cancer therapy that addresses the challenges of off-target toxicity and multidrug resistance. They used an optimized scaffold-conjugated drug called copper ion-incorporated diethyldithiocarbamate (Cu-DDC2) to deliver targeted treatment to tumor cells while minimizing harm to normal tissues. In experiments with xenograft mice, the Cu-DDC2 treatment effectively suppressed the growth of pancreatic and gastric cancer without causing pathological abnormalities in healthy cells. This innovative approach shows promise for safe and potent cancer therapy. [Extracted from the article] |
