New Potent Anti-cancer Drug from Toxic Sea Algae

Wolf Wrasidlo, Ph.D., senior author at the Moores UCSD Cancer Center and first author of the work, said that the unique structure of this compound lends itself very well to nanotechnology, because it incorporates spontaneously into molecule-sized nanoparticles, important for the kind of highly targeted, combination therapy being developed to treat cancer.
The structure is also simple enough that the scientists can reproduce it.
ScA is the first, and most potent compound weve identified so far. But we dont yet know how abundant ScA is, or if its feasible to harvest, so it is important that we have been able to produce this natural product in the lab, Stupack said.
