Cyxone's T20K development drug in 87 different pharmacological tests

In co-operation with Taiwan-based Eurofins Panlabs Discovery Services, Cyxone has investigated whether T20K has the capacity to influence receptors or other cellular functions to shed light on the substance's potential side effects.

T20K has undergone extensive testing, amounting to a total of 87 different test systems. Cyxone has selected those pharmacological tests that are likely to have the greatest potential of being affected by the company's development substance.

The tests suggest that T20K does not bind, or binds weakly, to the studied cellular receptors. Furthermore, the majority of such receptors are found in tissue to which a relatively large molecule such as T20K is not expected to be able to be distributed.

In Cyxone's judgement, T20K is unlikely to cause side effects through any effect on the studied receptors of primarily human cells.
