Telomir Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TELO) announced the peer-reviewed publication of preclinical data showing Telomir-Zn suppressed tumor growth in prostate and triple-negative breast cancer (“TNBC”) models through selective modulation of intracellular iron and copper. Published in the Journal of Oncology Research and Therapy, the study showed Telomir-Zn inhibited histone demethylases by depleting intracellular iron, selectively killed iron-dependent TNBC cells while sparing normal cells at concentrations more than 50-fold higher and reactivated tumor-suppressor genes in a prostate cancer model.
In TNBC xenograft models, Telomir-Zn reduced primary tumor size across several cell lines and significantly reduced metastatic dissemination in HCC1806 xenografts. In BT-549 xenografts, combining Telomir-Zn with paclitaxel produced significantly greater tumor reduction than either treatment alone, while MDA-MB-231 xenografts did not respond, indicating tumor-specific differences in sensitivity. Telomir said the findings provide the scientific foundation for advancing Telomir-Zn toward its planned Phase 1/2 clinical trial in TNBC under its active Investigational New Drug application.
