A damaged cell normally shuts off production of the antiapoptotic proteins FLIP and XIAP to allow activation of the apoptosis-triggering receptors (Fas, TNFR1, DR3, TRAIL). Cancer cells resist this process by producing large amounts of blocking proteins such as FLIP. Phenoxodiol blocks FLIP and XIAP in cancer cells without harming noncancer cells, the company said in a news release.
