New Data from Seoul National University College of Medicine Illuminate Research in Breast Cancer (Cysteine protease I29 propeptide from Calotropis procera R. Br. As a potent cathepsin L inhibitor and its suppressive activity in breast cancer...).

A recent study conducted at Seoul National University College of Medicine focused on the role of Cathepsin L in breast cancer metastasis. The researchers identified a potent inhibitor, SnuCalCpI15, derived from Calotropis procera R. Br., which showed promising results in suppressing tumor cell migration and invasion. The study suggests that SnuCalCpI15 could be a novel agent for preventing breast cancer metastasis, offering potential implications for anti-cancer therapy.
