Oncolin Therapeutics, Inc., (OTCBB:OCOL) announces that its new Super Cell Blocker, ONC-127, has been effective in treating animals that have been implanted with human tumors in their brains. This technology has extended the life of animals in a preclinical environment.

The Super Cell Blocker, ONC-127, drug candidate is a major breakthrough in inhibiting a process known as glycolysis which "starves the tumor" by blocking its ability to provide energy for the cell to live. The founding scientists have designed a drug that passes through the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) which is the brain's security mechanism that stops most other drugs from reaching the brain in order to target the brain tumor and is also selectively taken up by brain tumor cells. This technology is also applicable to other cancers that have a high sugar uptake such as breast and pancreatic cancers.

This technology is covered under Oncolin's recent exclusive option to license from The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center which is one of the world's leading cancer treatment facilities.
