A study from Karolinska Institutet, Sweden shows that MTH1 inhibition eradicates cancer by preventing sanitation of the dNTP pool.
This study was published in the April 10, 2014 Nature by Prof. Dr Helleday T, Dr Gad H and others from Science for Life Laboratory, Division of Translational Medicine and Chemical Biology, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden.
On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan, Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports here that: Treating cancer with an anti-diabetic pill: Acarbose, an anti-diabetic drug used to treat non-insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus, eradicates cancer by suppressing the expression of nucleotide sanitizing enzyme MTH1/NUDT1
