Arctic Sea Cucumber Delivers One-Two Punch to Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Arctic Sea Cucumber Delivers One-Two Punch to Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Sputnik International
Two compounds that can stop the growth of one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer have been derived from a sea cucumber (Ocnus glacialis) by researchers at the Elyakov Pacific Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry.

Compounds named glacialisosides A and B - derived from the sea cucumber found in the cold waters of the Chukchi Sea — showed particularly strong activity against triple-negative breast cancer, revealed the research.These compounds selectively target malignant cells while having little effect on healthy breast cells:The Russian scientists say the findings point toward a new class of anti-cancer drugs based on glycosides derived from Arctic marine invertebrates.

Arctic Sea Cucumber Delivers One-Two Punch to Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Two compounds that can stop the growth of one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer have been derived from a sea cucumber (Ocnus glacialis) by researchers at the Elyakov Pacific Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Compounds named glacialisosides A and B - derived from the sea cucumber found in the cold waters of the Chukchi Sea — showed particularly strong activity against triple-negative breast cancer, revealed the research.
These compounds selectively target malignant cells while having little effect on healthy breast cells:
at concentrations below 0.2 μM, they stopped cancer-cell division
at 1 μM, they completely blocked the growth of cancer-cell colonies
The Russian scientists say the findings point toward a new class of anti-cancer drugs based on glycosides derived from Arctic marine invertebrates.
