摘要:
Compositions and methods concern organic molecules that bind to human Atox1 and CCS at the copper trafficking interface of these proteins. This binding suppresses copper trafficking, which leads to inhibition of cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth. In addition to serving as an effective treatment of cancer, these organic molecules inhibit cellular copper uptake and can be used as treatment of disorders of copper metabolism such as Wilson's disease, which is characterized by copper overload, as well as wound healing.
