Abstract

A novel supramolecular oligomer, cyclic polylactate (CPL), was originally discovered in the culture medium of tumor cells. CPL suppresses the growth of tumor cells by inhibiting the activities of enzymes involved in the glycolytic pathway, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase. Application of CPL was found to induce apoptosis in tumor cells through 7A6 antigen expression and DNA ladder formation. In addition, CPL is reported to prolong significantly the survival period of tumor bearing mice. These findings suggest that CPL might be a useful chemotherapeutic agent for cancers.
