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.
这些组合物和方法涉及与人类Atox1和CCS在这些蛋白质的铜转运界面结合的有机分子。这种结合抑制铜转运,导致抑制癌细胞增殖和肿瘤生长。除了作为癌症的有效治疗外,这些有机分子还抑制细胞铜摄取,可用于治疗铜代谢紊乱,如威尔逊病,其特征是铜超载,以及伤口愈合。
