Aleksandra Stańczak, MD: Our poster aroused great interest among visitors. Inhibiting initiation of the protein degradation pathway is a new, innovative and effective therapeutic approach in cancer therapy with special focus on solid tumours and cancer of the blood. The compound developed by Celon Pharma scientists is more active than the previous inhibitors of the enzyme initiating the protein degradation pathway. The CPL-410-005 inhibitor has huge anticancer potential, i.a. for breast, prostate or colon cancers.
