Description: AFPep has been shown previously to stop the growth of estrogen-dependent human breast cancer xenografts in mice and prevent carcinogen-induced breast cancer in a rat model. As the anti-oncogenic, anti-estrotrophic active site of AFP, the cyclic 9-mer peptide AFPep has substantial biologic activity that suggests it may be useful in the fight against breast cancer. AFPep is efficacious in vitro and in vivo for therapy and prevention of breast cancer, is well tolerated, and has a unique mechanism of action.
