Erythrose, Cell Differentiation, and Cancer Cell Death

Cancer Cells Die With Erythrose

If you graduate from high school you can understand this.

Erythrose (C4H8O4) is a sugar, 2/3 of glucose (C6H12O6).

Not only erythrose has similar structure as glucose, but also it can be used for respiration as glucose, to be converted to CO2 and H2O (Batt et al. 1960).

Erythrose-4-phosphate is in our body. (participates in Pentose Phosphate Pathway)

Low toxicity: Erythrose's mirror, erythrulose, toxicity is very low (NICNAS, Australia 2008).

Cancer cell lines (lung, brain, breast, etc) die with ~4mM erythrose in 24hrs.

Blood glucose reaches ~8 mM after meal, people with diabetes can tolerate 30mM for days.

For normal cell lines viability, up to 30mM erythrose, it has similar result as glucose. Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) and Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDF) have been tested.

Erythrose is very similar to glucose for our cells, but kills cancer. Energy is essential for all cells in our body. Technology can deliver the 4mM erythrose to anywhere in our body. Cancer will be destroyed. The side effects could be as short-term diabetes, manageable and reversible

Although erythrose is a sugar and existed in our body. Before proper testing, it should not be used to treat people. It could be either miss the threshold or very dangerous without proper administration. The only credit supplier is Sigma, $400/g, our body can digest sugar very fast. No one can afford it now.
