The study, has tested the protein across over 70 cancer cell lines.Background -PCNA - Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen plays an essential role in nucleic acid metabolism as a component of the replication and repair machinery. This toroidal-shaped protein encircles DNA and can slide bidirectionally along the duplex. It has been historically used as a marker for tumor progression.  DNA replication stress is a key hallmark of cancer cells that have been exploited as a therapeutic strategy to induce further DNA damage leading to catastrophic consequences for cancer cells. Thus, PCNA represents a major anti-cancer target, given its role in DNA replication/repair. Besides, discovering a distinct cancer-associated PCNA isoform (caPCNA) has opened new avenues for developing novel chemotherapeutics.Previously this team found a potential inhibitor (AOH1160) of caPCNA but it lacked suitable metabolic properties. Now they identified an analog of AOH1160,  AOH1996 which can an suppress tumour growth as a monotherapy or combination treatment in cell and animal models without resulting in toxicity. The investigational chemotherapeutic is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial in humans.The team tested AOH1996 in normal cells and over 70 (cancer) cell lines. They found that AOH1996 selectively killed cancer cells, with a median concentration of about 300 nM for 50% growth inhibition. AOH1996 was not significantly toxic to non-malignant cells, even up to 10 µM. It induced cell cycle changes (G2/M or S phase arrest) and apoptosis in cancer cells but not non-malignant cells. AOH1996's half-life increased by approximately 27% relative to that of AOH1160 in oral pharmacokinetic studies in mice.PS: Hope this will at least pave the way for the long sought miracle cancer pill that everybody was looking for.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite22" alt="(y)" title="Thumbs up    (y)" loading="lazy" data-shortname="(y)" /> Also if you have missed my earlier post, the Japanese alternative  <a href="https://elakiri.com/threads/japanese-new-treatment-for-multiple-types-of-cancer-targeted-%CE%B1-particle.2112231/" target="_blank">https://elakiri.com/threads/japanese-new-treatment-for-multiple-types-of-cancer-targeted-α-particle.2112231/</a></blockquote>
