acyclics is developing Xcytrin as an anti-cancer agent with
a novel mechanism of action that is designed to selectively
concentrate in tumors and induce apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Xcytrin is a redox-active drug that has been shown to disrupt
redox-dependent pathways in cells and inhibit oxidative stress
related proteins. Its multifunctional mode of action, including its
magnetic resonance imaging detectability, provides the opportunity
for Xcytrin to be used in a broad range of cancers.
