Funded Activity Summary

Novel Vitamin E Analogues with Enhanced Specificity for Malignant Cells. The aim of this project is to synthesise and characterise novel compounds based on vitamin E succinate that are capable of efficiently and selectively killing cancer cells. The new compounds will be tested for their ability to induce programmed cell death in cancer cells and the most active of them will be also tested for anti-cancer effect in a pre-clinical model. We believe that novel analogues based on vitamin E succinate can lead to the discovery of very effcient and selective anti-cancer drugs with no side-effects that may be used for patient treatment in the future. This makes our project of exceptional significance.
