Ehrlich: The retinoblastoma, or Rb, protein is responsible for a major checkpoint in cell growth. Damaged or mutated Rb or p53 is exhibited in nearly 100 percent of all cancers, regardless of origin. We have only discovered Kevetrin’s impact on Rb in recent months, so I can’t comment too much on it until more data is collected. Our research team is continuously conducting more research on Kevetrin’s Mechanism of Action and we now feel strongly that the Rb pathway is a major part of it. People cannot over-simplify defining a Mechanism of Action. Most great inventions begin with a thought that something may work and then the next years are spent defining exactly why it does. Our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Krishna Menon, while conducting in-vivo studies at Eli Lilly saw something in Alimta and Gemzar. He helped push for further development of these drugs. For this Lilly awarded him its President’s Recognition Award, Lilly’s most prestigious award. They went on to be multi-billion dollar blockbuster cancer drugs. In Dr. Menon’s development of Kevetrin as a potential anti-cancer drug, it is showing even greater results in tumor suppression. Then the p53 connection was confirmed. Now they are seeing connections to the Rb pathway, but more research is needed for documentation. The fact is that these are the two most powerful proteins in the body related to stopping tumor progression and Kevetrin seems to be impacting both. We have to leave it at that for the moment.

What other major drugs are you bullish about?

Ehrlich: I don’t want to be put on the spot on other companies’ compounds. However, I will say I am more excited about Kevetrin’s anti-cancer potential than any other compound out there. That includes compounds being touted by big pharma.
