Anti-cancer drug from the venom of one of the snakes
Scientists from Hong Kong they have found the poison in one of the snakes can fit for the manufacture of a drug to treat cancer patients.
Scientists have noted Wednesday in Hong Kong, they found that a protein in the antidote, which they obtained from a live snake called the sharp nose can reduce the size of the colon and rectum cancer in mice by 28% in one month. And continued to study, by researchers under the supervision of Wendy Hsiao from the University of Hong Kong six months and covered 18 mice infected with cancer.
Researchers also discovered during a separate study on chicken embryos, the protein, which scientists classify under the name 'K 002 Z' can limit the growth of capillaries that supply tumors with food and help in their growth.
And won the preliminary results of the study or the equivalent of 500 thousand dollars from the Fund, a state scientific and a pharmaceutical company in Hong Kong.
Hsiao said that the next step will be to continue to confirm the validity of the results and then clone the protein in question and see if it is effective against other types of tumors.
And live snake ear acute in China, where used for a long time in folk medicine.
And cancer of the colon and rectum of the most common types of cancers in developed countries with a diet rich in red meat and animal fat, which is one of the more risk factors in this cancer.
And increased incidence of this cancer in the city of Hong Kong residents began moving aggressively to the Western lifestyle.
The proportion of cancer of the colon and rectum 16.4% of the total new cases of cancer in Hong Kong which led to the deaths of 1686 people in 2008, the largest number of cancer after lung cancer, which killed about 3497 people
