Researchers have successfully tested a “Trojan Horse” drug which can kill cancer and bacterial cells without damaging nearby healthy tissue. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh combined the tiny cancer-killing molecule SeNBD with a chemical food compound to trick malignant cells into ingesting it. The peer-reviewed experimental study was carried out on zebrafish and human cells, but researchers say more studies are needed to confirm if it is a safe and swift method of treating early s...

11:56 EDT, 31 May 2021 Researchers have successfully tested a new drug which can kill cancer cells without damaging nearby healthy tissue - removing the need for chemotherapy. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh combined the tiny cancer-killing molecule called SeNBD with a chemical food to trick the harmful cells into ingesting it. Cancerous cells are greedy and need to consume high amounts of food for energy and they typically ingest more than healthy cells, the experts said. By coupli...

Researchers have successfully tested a “Trojan Horse” drug which can kill cancer and bacterial cells without damaging nearby healthy tissue.

Scientists said the drug is the ‘ideal prey for harmful cells’ and will be left alone by healthy cells.

By coupling SeNBD with a chemical food compound it becomes the “ideal prey for harmful cells” which ingest it “without being alerted to its toxic nature”. The drug was invented by University of Edinburgh researchers who compared it to a Trojan Horse, and its effects to a “metabolic warhead”. SeNBD is also a light-activated photosensitiser, meaning it kills cells only after it is turned on by visible light. Researchers have successfully tested a “Trojan Horse” drug which can kill...
