brain cancer. Researchers from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute have
isolated a compound from the corn lily that effectively kills brain tumor
cells in mice. The compound, Cyclopamine,
is similar in some ways to TAXOL,
the cancer drug originally extracted from the Pacific Yew tree, which
eliminates a kind of tumor cell called a
medulloblastoma, by blocking a
specific protein called the smoothened protein. Tests have shown
cyclopamine is effective in destroying human brain tumor cells in the lab.
The next step will be to turn cyclopamine into a drug for human trials.
