I haven't posted much here, except to ask for opinions on certain companies (ONCY and SYY.TO). I continue that trend by asking for opinions on HBY. Hybridon is working on antisense inhibition of MDM2, with promising results in preclinical work. Is anyone here familiar with other companies working on antisense cancer therapies?

"Now that MDM2 has been shown in cell-based models to bind directly to p21 as well as to p53, the antisense approach to MDM2 inhibition is even more attractive," said Dr. Agrawal. "As we have reported previously, our MDM2 antisense drug candidate has potent antitumor effects in combination with radiation or various chemotherapeutic agents in animal models."

XIAP antisense may have even more potential:

Disclaimer: I bought HBY recently, based on the chart, insider buying and my preliminary assessment of the technology.

Antisense therapy is fairly new to me, so comments from more learned threadsters would be appreciated. I suppose I should have asked for opinions before buying, but I have the patience and attention span of a 5-year-old.
