During the cytotoxicity tests, the company utilized multidrug resistant breast cancer cells, ovarian adenocarcinoma cells and pancreatic cancer cells to test with the mRNA molecules. The molecules had little to no cytotoxic effect and were able to destroy the cancer cell’s growth.
The mRNA molecules are easily and readily adaptable to be delivered to patients using mRNA vaccine technology. Sunshine Biopharma says they plan to file a patent application to secure its intellectual property related to the results.
Dr. Steve Slilaty, CEO of Sunshine Biopharma: “We are delighted by these findings in connection with our ongoing mRNA-as-therapeutic-agents research. The potential use of mRNA to treat cancer opens the door to many possibilities for patients including convenience, reduced toxicity and enhanced efficacy.”
