MONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / December 8, 2020 / Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTC PINK:SBFM) , a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of oncology and antiviral drugs, today announced that it has ordered a new batch of Adva-27a from its manufacturer in China. The material will be delivered to the laboratories of Sunshine Biopharma's drug development partner in Montreal (Canada). Sunshine plans to use the material to conduct testing on various types of cancer cells that overproduce Topoisomerase II (TopII). Following these cell culture studies, Sunshine will proceed to performing studies on mice harboring tumors of human origin with TopII amplification.

"All cancer types that have amplification of the Topoisomerase II gene are potential new targets for our Adva-27a," said Dr. Steve Slilaty, CEO of Sunshine Biopharma. "This is an additional application for our Adva-27a beyond the original multidrug resistance indication," he added.
