Oncology Pharma, Inc. Is Pursuing the Development of Its Small Molecule Drug for the Treatment of Colon Cancer

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 18, 2021 / Oncology Pharma Inc. (OTC PINK:ONPH) Oncology Pharma, Inc. (the "Company") is pursuing, through its licensing arrangements, the development of a small molecule drug ("SMD") for the treatment of colon cancer. SMD is defined as any organic compound that enters cells easily because it has low molecular weight (< 900 daltons). Once inside the cells, it can affect other molecules, such as proteins, and may cause cancer cells to die. This is different from drugs that have a large molecular weight, which keep them from getting inside cells easily. Their small size makes them easily ingestible in the gastrointestinal tract where active substances are immediately absorbed into the bloodstream and can travel anywhere in the body. The small size of these molecules allows them to easily penetrate cell membranes as they travel throughout the body.

SMD's have a preference, if successfully developed, over "large molecule", or biologics, in that SMD's can be generally taken orally, easier to use, more accessible, and usually do not require doctor visits at time of administration. Many targeted therapies have in the past been small molecules. In the last several years large pharma companies have been developing biologics and have chosen to acquire smaller companies that have been developing small-molecule drugs. They generally have a lower cost to the patient. The successful development of SMDs has great interest by larger pharmaceutical companies due to the widely available attributes that have a demand on a global basis.
