Despite advances in cancer therapy, many malignancies remain difficult to treat due to resistance to conventional chemotherapeutics and

targeted agents. The need for novel compounds with unique mechanisms of action continues to drive oncology drug discovery.

Interestingly, screening efforts have revealed that certain components of Centipede Venom possess selective toxicity toward cancer cells

through induction of apoptotic pathways. The primary technological challenge lies in identifying the specific peptides responsible for this

activity and elucidating their precise molecular targets within cancer signaling networks. The complexity of the venom mixture and the

multiple potential mechanisms involved require sophisticated fractionation and functional screening approaches. For oncology drug

developers considering Centipede Venom as a source of lead compounds, critical procurement considerations include demonstration of

selective cytotoxicity toward cancer cells versus normal cells, identification of the affected signaling pathways, and evidence of efficacy in

relevant animal models. Our investigations have identified a peptide fraction from Centipede Venom that induces apoptosis in

triple-negative breast cancer cell lines through simultaneous activation of caspase-8 and -9, indicating both extrinsic and intrinsic pathway

engagement. This fraction demonstrated significant tumor growth inhibition in a mouse xenograft model, reducing tumor volume by 68%

compared to controls after 28 days of treatment. The discovery of novel anticancer agents requires access to diverse natural product

libraries with demonstrated bioactivity. Blue Eyes Biotech Co., Ltd. provides well-characterized Centipede Venom fractions and isolated

peptides for anticancer drug screening and development. To request samples for your oncology research program, contact our team at
