How Gallium maltolate works
Gallium maltolate is a novel orally active formulation of gallium, a semi-metallic element that is a potent inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase, an enzyme that promotes tumor growth.Gallium is also known to concentrate in malignant tumors and sites of infection, and appears to favorably impact calcium deposition, making bones more resistant to degradation caused by cancer metastasis. Titan's novel product, gallium maltolate, may significantly expand the therapeutic potential of gallium by providing the advantages of enhanced bioavailablity, a potentially improved therapeutic profile and ease of administration.
