Evolved metabolites already treat many cancers. We are discovering the next generation.

Many of the pathways that drive cancer growth are targeted by natural products – such as topoisomerase inhibitors, tubulin inhibitors, DNA damaging agents, and more. These molecules evolved to inhibit cell growth and are valuable anti-cancer agents. New technologies have revealed the next-generation of targeted therapies, particularly as novel payloads for antibody drug conjugates, for cancer treatments.
