Marshall Edwards Announces Presentation of New Data Showing Activity in Chemotherapy-Resistant Ovarian Cancer Cells
Date:11/18/2010

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Marshall Edwards, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSHL), an oncology company focused on the clinical development of novel anti-cancer therapeutics, announced the presentation of new data from the Company's mitochondrial inhibitor program showing activity in chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer stem cells.  The data were reported today at the 1st World Congress on Targeting Mitochondria in Berlin.

Ayesha Alvero, M.D., Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences, Yale University School of Medicine, presented data from a pre-clinical study of first-generation compound NV-128 demonstrating its ability to induce mitochondrial instability, ultimately leading to cell death in chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer stem cells.

"This study showed for the first time that targeting the mitochondria induces caspase-independent cell death in otherwise chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer stem cells," said Dr. Alvero.  "The demonstration that a compound can disrupt cancer cell metabolism by specifically targeting the mitochondria to induce cell death opens anavenue for the development of potential new therapeutics for ovarian cancer patients."

The study further characterized the novel mechanism of action of NV-128, an isoflavone derivative that promotes a state of cellular starvation, resulting in the activation of two independent signalling pathways in cancer cells: 1) the AMPkinase pathway leading to inhibition of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complexes and the induction of destructive autophagy; and 2) the MEK/ERK pathway leading to mitochondrial depolarization and DNA fragmentation.

"In addition to this exciting data from Yale, our first-generation compound NV-128 has shown pre-clinical activity against a broad range of cancers, including KRAS-mutant, Tarceva®-resistant non-small cell lung cancer
