Hope to find cancer medicine from the sea slug

The results of the new study published by scientists at the University of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia show that they have proven that substances in the sea slug live along the east coast of Australia. The ability to fight cancer is very strong.

The researchers said that the molecules found in the eggs of the White Rock sea slug (White Rock) not only prevent cancer cells, but they are also proven to effectively destroy the resistant white blood cells. Chemotherapy and sarcoma (a rare form of cancer) in the uterus.

Researchers believe that this molecule will also work in fighting breast, prostate, and rectal cancers.

Dr. Kara Perrow found that these substances - known as N-alkylisatins - killed 100% of laboratory-resistant cancer cells in just 48 hours.

According to Dr. Karra Perrow, when compared to the use of anti-cancer drugs Doxorubicin, they found that the drug only killed 10% of cancer cells.

Meanwhile, drug resistance is one of the biggest obstacles scientists face, especially when it comes to chemotherapy.

Since 2002, Australian scientists have also discovered that the egg formula of this Da Trang sea slug has surprising medicinal properties.

However, only recently, with the support of many chemical scientists, Wollongong University scientists have discovered that they also work when targeting chemotherapy-resistant cancer cells. .

The next step is how to ensure that the molecules from this nudibranch egg are safe to put into the human body.

Dr Perrow said scientists are considering introducing them into nanoparticles so that they become non-toxic and safe for injection into the human body.

She also said this could take 5-10 years before putting the drug into use, but it will depend on the success of human trials.
