"We are very excited about this significant development for Adva-27a," said Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, CEO of Sunshine Biopharma.

About Sunshine Biopharma's Adva-27a
Adva-27a is a unique anticancer compound targeted for multidrug resistant cancer. Tests conducted to date have demonstrated the effectiveness of Adva-27a at destroying Multidrug Resistant Cancer Cells, including Pancreatic Cancer cells, Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells, Breast Cancer cells, and Uterine Sarcoma cells. Clinical trials for Pancreatic Cancer indication are planned to be conducted at McGill University's Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada.
About Sunshine Biopharma
In addition, to working on the development of Adva-27a, Sunshine Biopharma is engaged in the development in the development of a treatment COVID-19. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that has claimed the lives of over 2.1 million people worldwide since it first appeared in December 2019. There are currently no drugs that can effectively arrest replication of the virus in people who have contracted the illness. On May 22, 2020, Sunshine Biopharma filed a provisional patent application for several molecules which were designed by computer-aided modeling to inhibit the Coronavirus proteases, thus shutting down the ability of the virus to multiply. Sunshine Biopharma has since completed the synthesis of four such molecules and identified a lead compound, SBFM-PL4. In collaboration with the University of Georgia, College of Pharmacy, the Company is currently advancing the development of SBFM-PL4 through the in vitro testing stage to be followed by mice studies before entering clinical trials on COVID-19 patients.
