Potential cancer drug derived from Australian rainforest -"A potential cancer drug developed from an Australian rainforest plant is set to progress to human trials after fighting off inoperable tumours in pets, the company behind it said Monday.
Queensland firm QBiotics Ltd said its drug EBC-46, derived from the seeds of a tropical rainforest shrub, was ready to be tested on humans after successfully treating solid tumours in more than 100 dogs, cats and horses.
'We've treated over 150 animals ... with a variety of tumours and we're prepared to move into human studies,' chief executive Victoria Gordon told AFP."
