DARVIAS®, an organoarsenic compound with anticancer activity, is a novel mitochondrial-targeted agent being developed for the treatment of various hematologic and solid tumors. DARVIAS® provokes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through disruption of mitochondrial functions and increased production of reactive oxygen species in tumor cells. DARVIAS® is expected to exert an anticancer effect by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. "The entire Brand Institute and Drug Safety Institute team congratulates Solasia on the MHLW approval of the DARVIAS injection," said Brand Institute's Chairman and C.E.O., James L. Dettore.
