Telomir Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced that its investigational compound, Telomir-1, effectively kills aggressive human leukemia cells in vitro. The study shows Telomir-1 reduces leukemia cell viability in a dose-dependent manner and lowers intracellular iron levels, crucial for leukemia cell growth. It also inhibits histone-demethylase enzymes and reduces abnormal DNA methylation of tumor-suppressor genes, expanding its oncology profile to include blood cancers. This supports further oncology research by the company.
