Potential telomere length modulators in tumor prevention
| NO | Compounds | Level | Preclinical Model | Mechanism | Efficacy/Progress |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TA65 | Preclinical | Multiple cells |
a. Extended the average telomere length of leukocytes b. Increased cytotoxic T cells |
Help the body to reinforce the immune system. |
| 2 | CAG | Preclinical | Multiple cells |
a. accelerates the presentation of tumor antigens b. The combination of CAG and PD-1 antibody can also effectively enhance the killing ability of CD8+T cells |
Anti-cancer |
| 3 | Vc | Preclinical | Multiple cancer cells |
a. Reduce telomerase activity in HeLa cells by restoring cell redox potential, inhibiting E6 gene and promoting p53 gene expression b. Target redox imbalances, epigenetic reprogramming, and oxygen-sensing regulation in cancer cells |
a. Activate telomerase in HeLa cells b. Treat and prevent cancer |
