• Description: Afamelanotide acetate is a human protein that acts as a kinase inhibitor. It is derived from d-xylose and has been shown to have anticancer properties. Afamelanotide acetate inhibits the activity of kinases, which are enzymes that play a crucial role in tumor growth and progression. This drug induces apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells and has been shown to be effective against various types of cancer, including Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Afamelanotide acetate has also been found in human urine and may have potential as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis or monitoring.
