The cancer-killing pill is being tested on humans

A cancer-killing pill thought to destroy solid tumors while leaving healthy cells intact is now being tested in humans.

The new drug has been in development for 20 years and is now undergoing preclinical research in the US, reports Sky News.

Known as AOH1996, it targets a cancerous variant of a protein called proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA).

In its mutant form PCNA is "critical" in DNA replication and repair in all tumors.

AOH1996 is being worked on by City of Hope, one of America's largest organizations for cancer research and treatment./ CNA.al
