A promising compound for cancer treatment has
been synthesised in a laboratory by an RMIT University researcher during
his PhD research.
Dr Dan Balan, from the School of Applied Sciences at RMIT, said
15-aza-Salicylihalamide A analogue had demonstrated potent activity
against several leukaemia cell lines.
"Salicylihalamide A is an interesting natural marine product that has
been isolated from a marine sponge of the genus Haliclona, collected
from waters around Rottnest Island, 18 km off the coast of southern
Western Australia," Dr Balan said.
