The Russian Federal Far East University published a scientific statement confirming the extraction of a sea cucumber capable of killing cancer cells.
The sea cucumber is a type of marine animal with a long, compact, cucumber-like body. It belongs to a group of skin prickles. These marine animals live in the Russian Far East Seas.
An international team of researchers, including the Russians, conducted a study on cancer cells. It turned out that the bioactive fronzoid A compound, which contains the cucumber, can inhibit the growth of malignant tissues that do not produce p53 protein.
This protein lives in healthy cells and helps in its infection if DNA is injured. But half of the malignant tumors make him change and acquire mutations that prevent him from performing his protective tasks.
The scientists said that fronzedoid kills cancer cells, including those not affected by conventional chemotherapy. However, scientists stressed the need to continue research and expand it to include living organisms to experiment with the material.
Many of the active substances accumulate in marine invertebrate cells to protect them, so these compounds have medical capabilities that can be used for treatment, said Sergei Dichlovoy, one of the authors of the scientific study.
