BERWYN, PA, Sept. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Panavance Therapeutics Inc. (“Panavance” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company advancing the development of a novel oncology therapeutic intended to improve the outcomes and quality of life for patients, today announced publication of positive data in the peer-reviewed Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine in a manuscript titled, “GP-2250, a novel anticancer agent, inhibits the energy metabolism, activates AMP-Kinase and impairs the NF-kB pathway in pancreatic cancer cells1.” The publication by Majchrzak-Stiller, et al. (2023) details the multiple sites of action of GP-2250 in the disruption of energy production of cancer cells and the downregulation of tumor promoting transcription factors.

Key Points: 
  • GP-2250 is a highly selective yet broadly active cancer therapeutic with a unique mechanism of action that suppresses cancer by disrupting its energy metabolism, leading to cancer cell death through several validated mechanisms.
  • GP-2250 is currently being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial for pancreatic cancer.
  • Results of the preclinical study showed that at the lowest dose of GP-2250 tested (250 μM), a significant decrease in ATP was apparent at 6 hours in both pancreatic cancer cell lines.
  • We are pleased with the results GP-2250 demonstrated, and the metabolic and transcriptional findings provide molecular targets for GP-2250.
