sesquiterpene gamma lactone from a species of
wormwood endemic to the Karaganda region of Kazakstan


I wouldn't presume to judge the abstract, too many
big words;-) But you showed me yours...I'll show what
I grabbed for my turn...

Magainin, MAGN
Squalamine...a steroid-related aminosterol, is presently
undergoing Phase I clinical trials in advanced cancer patients


In a Sqalamine abstract I found triple combination therapy
produced a TGI of 95.7% (3/10 animals) and a tumor shrinkage
of 54.8% (4/10 animals) compared to the TGI of 55.9% and no
tumor shrinkage without the addition of squalamine.
So
what the heck? You have to have a little fun with the stocks
too right? Cant just sink it all into a promising platform
company and wait for a decade--although that is mostly what
I think a person should do.

But the Kazakstan wormwood sounds way cool...just the sort
of thing to get written up in the Times...especially if
they have data for 300 humans...but I could not find
anything on Recap.com...and the abstract only mentioned
'cultures of human tumor cells'...if you have something
more than that please post.

In the meantime I'll PM some stuff to you.
