Cancer cells move in the body like small caterpillars to gain a foothold in a new place. Researchers have created new medical substances that change the "walk" of cancer cells and stop their movement.

Scientists conducted experiments in mice implanted with cancer cells and macrokineton molecules. As a result, rodents from the first group survived, and in the control group, the mice suffered from metastases, which only implanted cancer cells. Introduction of macrokinetone a week after the introduction of malignant cells by 80% stopped their spread.

More than 90% of cancer patients die precisely because of metastatic cancer, so discovery is very important in the development of drugs.

Macro ketones prevent the formation of a "vehicle" from protein filaments. New experiments confirmed the work of the molecules of this substance: they did not stop the growth of the tumor, but prevented its spread. Scientists have been developing macrokinetone molecules since 2003.
