Targets cancer cells, induces apoptosis, is non-toxic to normal cells, and is a peptide-based therapy.
PNC-28 is an investigational peptide derived from a segment of the p53 tumor suppressor protein. It has been studied in preclinical research for its ability to selectively target cancer cells by binding to HDM-2 (also known as MDM2), a protein involved in regulating p53 activity. In laboratory settings, PNC-28 has demonstrated the ability to induce cancer cell membrane disruption while showing minimal effects on healthy cells. Its mechanism is distinct from traditional chemotherapy or hormone-based approaches.
PNC-28 is considered an investigational compound and is not FDA-approved for the treatment of cancer or any medical condition. It may be explored strictly within physician-guided research or investigational frameworks.
