Science & research

The scientific foundation of our developments

A technology studied for more than 20 years at leading Ukrainian scientific institutions underpins our programmes in oncology and gerontology.

Scientific approach

A research programme built on the substance

The Institute's work is built on a biologically active substance whose synthesis technology was developed in the 1990s. It has been studied for more than 20 years at leading research and clinical institutions in Ukraine.

The substance has broad potential for application. The Institute currently works in two main directions: oncology and gerontology.

Research directions

Oncology and gerontology

Abstract visual: tumour cells attempt to divide and break apart, while healthy cells remain intact
Primary direction

Oncology

A new class of selective cytostatic drugs: mechanism of action, preclinical research and clinical programme.

Oncology research
Abstract visual: a damaged section of the DNA double helix is restored
Second direction

Gerontology

A cellular detoxification technology for healthy longevity and quality of life.

Gerontology research
Development stages

From substance synthesis to clinical use

  1. 01

    Development

  2. 02

    In vitro

    Study of the mechanism of action and selectivity in cell cultures.

  3. 03

    In vivo

    Antitumour activity in standard preclinical models.

  4. 04

    Clinical trials

    Development of clinical programmes across different tumour sites.

  5. 05

    Registration

    Registration and market introduction of the Institute's new developments.

  6. 06

    Clinical practice

    Use in clinics within individual protocols.
