Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. operates as a drug discovery company that uses biomarker technology to identify enzyme targets related with serious common diseases and designs novel compounds to attack those targets. The company primarily focuses on inhibitors of protein phosphatases that are used alone and in combination with cytotoxic agents and/or x-ray and immune checkpoint blockers; and encompasses two major categories of compounds at various stages of pre-clinical and clinical development. It develops two series of pharmacologically active drugs, which include the LB-100 series that consists of novel structures for the treatment of cancers, and vascular and metabolic diseases; and LB-200 series to treat chronic hereditary diseases, such as Gaucher's disease, as well as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. has a clinical trial research agreement with the Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Hospital Inc.; collaboration agreement for an investigator-initiated clinical trial with the Spanish Sarcoma Group, as well as Netherlands Cancer Institute and Oncode Institute. The company was founded in 2005 and is based in Pasadena, California.

Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc.

Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. (Lixte) is a clinical-stage public (LIXT) pharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering drugs for more effective treatments for cancer. Lixte has identified molecular signaling pathways altered in disease states and designed compounds that can safely target them in animal models. The current drug portfolio includes inhibitors of protein phosphatases that are critical to cell division and DNA damage repair and inhibitors of protein deacetylases that regulate pathways of gene expression and protein degradation. 

The phosphatase inhibitors enhance the effectiveness of cytotoxic anti-cancer drugs in general as well as radiation therapy making them potentially useful for the treatment of many, if not all, cancers in combination with existing standard chemotherapy regimens and the evolving targeted cytotoxic therapies of personalized cancer medicine. The lead compound LB-100 is in Phase I trial and has the potential to be first-in-class. 

The deacetylase inhibitors have anti-cancer activity and in model systems correct enzymes deficiencies underlying several inborn metabolic diseases including Gaucher and von Hippel-Lindau disease and neurofibromatosis type 2. 

Lixte's cancer drug development strategy has led to the discovery of novel compounds with the potential to be therapeutically useful against several other important but seemingly disparate diseases. The phosphatase inhibitors are in pre-clinical development for reducing the extent of tissue damage following stroke, heart attack, and septic shock; and, the deacetylase inhibitors for prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injury, and topically for fungal dermatitis .

This morning we announced that our lead clinical compound, LB-100, can kill cancer cells through hyper-stimulation of cell proliferation signals in pre-clinical models, according to a report published in Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's bioRxiv titled, “Paradoxical activation of oncogenic signaling as a cancer treatment strategy.” Click the graphic to read comments from the report's co-author and Lixte's CEO, John Kovach, MD, on how the data suggests that paradoxical activation of oncogenic signaling can result in tumor suppressive resistance. #LB100 #cancer #hyperstimulation #Lixte #BixRxiv
