Laali writes that his patent, which is for Novel ‘Curcuminoid-Inspired’ Synthetic Compounds as Anti-tumor Agents, “discloses the synthesis and characterization of structurally diverse libraries of curcumin-inspired compounds and reports on their anti-tumor activity against a host of cancer cell lines. Through these studies, he and his research group synthesized and characterized over 120 new compounds and in the process discovered a number of ‘hit-compounds’ that are effective not only in stopping cancer cell growth but also killing cancer cells and are therefore suitable for pre-clinical development.”
The next step is extensive testing.
“It’s very costly, something that needs to be done outside of UNF,” Laali said. “I’ve basically taken it as far as it is possible at this time.”
