Powerful fish-killing toxin could have cancer-killing properties
Posted On: September 9, 2009A powerful fish-killing toxin could have cancer-killing properties as well, according to collaborative research led by Agricultural Research Service(ARS) microbiologist Paul V. Zimba and chemist Peter Moeller of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The toxin, called euglenophycin, has a molecular structure similar to that of solenopsin, an alkaloid from fire ant venom known to inhibit tumor development.
The findings were published online in July in the journal Toxicon.
