current financial year 2007-08.
Optimization of New Anti-Cancer Formulation using Methylglyoxal as a lead
compound:
An anti-cancer formulation using Methylglyoxal as a lead compound for the
treatment of cancer has been developed by Indian Association for the
Cultivation of Science, Kolkata. The formulation has broad applications and
it can cover many aspects using imino acid conjugates of methylgyoxal.
Methylgyoxal acts selectively against malignant cells. Its effects can be
significantly augmented with natural compounds, ascorbic acid and other
vitamins. Methylgyoxal is a potent anti-cancer agent through both in-vitro
and in-vivo routes. The following studies are being further carried out for
the formulation:
(a) To test the toxicity of single and multiple dose treatment to animals
(acute and chronic toxicity study).
(b) To study the anti-tumor effect on Sarcoma-180 cell bearing mice and on
carcinogen induced solid tumor bearing mice.
(c) To monitor the biochemical parameters in relation to these toxicity
studies.
The Corporation provided a fund of Rs. 4 lakhs to carry out the work on the
above.
The formulation when tested on normal tissues, showed no effect. A
preliminary study on the possible toxic effect of methylglyoxal plus
melatonin indicated that it has no apparent toxic effect on the host.
The work is going on satisfactorily and results are expected during the
current financial year 2007-08.
