Efficacy/Progress

1

TA65

Preclinical

Multiple cells

a. Extended the average telomere length of leukocytes

b. Increased cytotoxic T cells

Help the body to reinforce the immune system.

2

CAG

Preclinical

Multiple cells

a. accelerates the presentation of tumor antigens

b. The combination of CAG and PD-1 antibody can also effectively enhance the killing ability of CD8+T cells

Anti-cancer

3

Vc

Preclinical

Multiple cancer cells

a. Reduce telomerase activity in HeLa cells by restoring cell redox potential, inhibiting E6 gene and promoting p53 gene expression

b. Target redox imbalances, epigenetic reprogramming, and oxygen-sensing regulation in cancer cells

a. Activate telomerase in HeLa cells

b. Treat and prevent cancer
