PH Researchers Discover Anti-Pain, Anti-Cancer Peptides from Marine Organisms

#DOSTintheNEWS

The country’s researchers have discovered bioactive peptides from marine organisms that may be used to treat pain, infections, and cancer, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) said Friday, Nov. 26.

DOST Secretary Fortunato “Boy” T. de la Peña said the project team, led by Dr. Arturo Lluisma from the University of the Philippines-Marine Science Institute made the discovery during the third year implementation of the “Anti-pain Peptides from Marine Organisms” project.

“Now on its third year of implementation, the project has discovered bioactive peptides and compounds that exhibit significant potential for therapeutic applications in the treatment of pain, infections, and cancer and identified their structural and functional characteristics,” he said during the Talakayang HeaRT Beat on the agency’s BIG 21 Tuklas Lunas Projects initiated by the DOST-Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) on Friday.
