How LErafAON works
Raf-1 protein serine threonine kinase plays an important role in cell survival and proliferation. Antisense inhibition of Raf-1 expression by drugs such as LErafAON has been shown to enhance the cytotoxic effects of radiation and anticancer drugs.
Half Life
In monkeys, the terminal plasma half-life of 30.36 +/- 23.87 hours was observed at an i.v. dose of 6.25 mg/kg.
