HIDE SMILES / InChI
Antineoplaston (Phenylacetylglutamine) is the amino acid acetylation product of phenylacetate (or phenylbutyrate after beta-oxidation). The chemical structure of Antineoplaston AS2-5 corresponds to phenylacetylglutamine. Two synthetic derivatives of Antineoplaston A10 were named Antineoplaston AS2-1 and AS2-5. All antineoplaston formulations were submitted for Phase I clinical studies in advanced cancer patients. The treatment was free from significant side-effects and resulted in objective response in a number of advanced cancer cases. Antineoplastons are an experimental cancer therapy developed by S.R. Burzynski, MD, PhD. Chemically, antineoplastons are a mixture of amino acid derivatives, peptides, and amino acids found in human blood and urine. The developer originally isolated antineoplastons from human blood and later found the same peptides in urine. Urine was subsequently used because it was less expensive and easier to obtain. Since 1980, antineoplastons have been synthesized from commercially available chemicals at the Burzynski Research Institute. According to the developer, antineoplastons are part of a biochemical surveillance system in the body and work as "molecular switches." For the developer, cell differentiation is the key to cancer therapy. At the molecular level, abnormal cells that are potential cancer cells need to be "switched" to normal mode. Antineoplastons are the surveillance system that directs cancer cells into normal channels of differentiation. According to statements published by the developer, people with cancer lack this surveillance system because they do not have an adequate supply of antineoplastons.

Sample Use Guides

Toxicology studies of Antineoplaston AS2-5 injections involved 13 patients diagnosed with 15 types of neoplastic disease, including: lung cancer, 3 cases; breast, 3 cases; colon, 2 cases; and single cases of cancer of the larynx, prostate, stomach, pancreas, malignant fibrohistiocytoma, embryonal teratoma and lymphocytic lymphoma. Antineoplaston AS2-5 was injected i.v. daily through subclavian vein catheter in divided doses. The treatment was administered from 41 to 436 days. The highest dosage given was 167.6 mg/kg/24 h.
