Ebola Virus Infections Could Potentially Be Treated With Sunshine Biopharma's Lead Anticancer Compound, Adva-27a
ACCESSWIRE - Mon Nov 03, 4:00AM CST
Montreal, Quebec / ACCESSWIRE / November 3, 2014 / Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCQB: SBFM), a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer, today announced that it has conducted a scientific review of the mechanisms by which Ebola virus penetrates human cells and takes over their machinery to multiply rapidly and go on to infecting other cells leading to massive cell destruction and ultimately death in nearly 80% of the cases. The review found that the progression of Ebola virus infection is very similar to that of Influenza A virus, the causative agent that was responsible for the death of over 90 million people in the 1918 flu pandemic. In severe Influenza A virus infections, a condition associated with high mortality rate called haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is developed by the affected patient. HLH has previously been treated successfully with Etoposide which increased survivability from 50% to 90% (LANCET, Volume 367, Pages 870-873, March 2006). Etoposide is an anticancer drug that inhibits the activity Topoisomerase II, an essential enzyme found in hyperactive, rapidly growing cells such as cancer cells and HLH cells. Like Etoposide, Sunshine Biopharma's lead anticancer compound, Adva-27a, is a Topoisomerase II inhibitor however it has been shown to be more effective and less toxic than Etoposide (ANTICANCER RESEARCH, Volume 32, Pages 4423-4432, October 2012). The latter characteristics make Adva-27a superior to Etoposide for possible treatment of Ebola patients with already weakened state of health.

Galectin Shares Rise on IND Filing, is Sunshine Biopharma Next in Line?
ACCESSWIRE - Wed Sep 18, 7:21AM CDT
Drug development is a business that can be a minefield; littered with pieces of failed companies that couldn't manage expenses and compounds that failed to meet expectations. The beauty of biotechnology, though, is a level playing field in which companies can grow robust valuations based upon target indications and assets, even at early stages of development. With initiatives around the world to expedite the regulatory pathway and major pharmaceutical companies hungry for acquisitions, there probably isn't a better time to be looking at some well-positioned up-and-comers in the space.
