Indian scientists discover new anti-cancer agent showing huge promise.
Mumbai, Jan 3: Scientists from Mumbai’s Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), the Agharkar Research Institute (ARI) in Pune, and IIT Hyderabad have discovered an alternative drug molecule indicating high antitumor potential on cancer cells with exceptional ability to reduce unwanted growth of blood vessels (antiangiogenic effect), said one of the scientific team members here on Tuesday.
This development is considered significant given the limited applicability of platinum drugs, currently the main treatment option for many types of cancer, due to the fast resistance developed by the patients.
The study was jointly conducted by a team comprising TIFR’s Malay Patra, Manikandan M., Sushanta Chhatar, Shubhankar Gadre, ARI’s Chinmay Patra and Gourav Chakraborty, and IIT-Hyderabad’s Naushad Ahmed.
