Entest BioMedical's Subsidiary Zander Therapeutics, Inc., Reports Its Series A Compounds Suppressed the Production of Multiple Cytokines Known to be Involved in Inflammation With No Toxicity In Canine Studies
SAN DIEGO, June 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Entest BioMedical Inc.'s (OTC-PINK: ENTB) subsidiary, Zander Therapeutics, Inc. has tested compounds that act on human cells in suppressing the immune system in a small amount of dog blood. The results indicate that one of the compounds, termed Series A, suppressed the production of multiple cytokines known to be involved in inflammation by activating checkpoint NR2F6. These include IL-17a, IL-1, IL-2, TNF-? and IFN-? production from activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells in a non-toxic manner.
"Creating a small molecule drug that targets inflammation through activation of NR2F6 is a completely novel method and one which has great promise to improve the quality of life of many pets," says Dr. Harry Lander, President and Chief Scientific Officer of Zander. "we are continuing to improve this particular drug by making it more potent. We found excellent efficacy at concentrations 50 fold lower than where toxicity is seen, but we want to do even better."
Zander is continuing similar experiments testing other compounds and will also begin to test anti-cancer small molecule compounds in the coming months.
