A new study is pointing to a natural compound that could do a better job as inhibitor of cancer cell growth than contemporary therapeutics. With an aim to develop natural Bcr-Abl inhibitors, researchers performed virtual screening (VS) of ZINC natural compound database by docking with Abl kinase using Glide software. “We screened about 20,000 natural compounds and isolated two…our studies showed that one of these compounds is far more effective in managing blood cancer cells,” Dr. Baskaran said. Upon setting of this disease, the normal white blood cells lose their maturity and they grow indefinitely. A research team at Pondicherry Central University led by R. Baskaran, Associate Professor, Department of Bio Chemistry and Molecular Biology, has found a natural compound that has proved more effective than the drugs of choice in the pharmaceutical world.
