Dosage protocol · Experimental Research
PNC-27 30 mg
Typical daily range: 100–500 mcg once daily (gradual titration).
- Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 10 mg/mL concentration.
- Typical daily range: 100–500 mcg once daily (gradual titration).
- Easy measuring: At 10 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL = 100 mcg on a U‑100 insulin syringe.
- Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); avoid freeze–thaw cycles.

How it works
PNC-27 is a synthetic, p53-derived research peptide described by the U.S. National Cancer Institute's Drug Dictionary as having potential antineoplastic activity.[1] It combines a fragment of the p53 tumor-suppressor protein that can bind the regulatory protein HDM-2 (also called MDM2) with a separate membrane residency segment designed to anchor the peptide at cell membranes.
PNC-27 is strictly an investigational compound studied in laboratory and animal cancer models. It is not an approved cancer drug, and it should never be treated as a substitute for oncology care.
Benefits & side effects
Published PNC-27 research is limited to preclinical work: cytotoxicity experiments in cancer cell lines including pancreatic, breast, and leukemia cells, comparisons with a designated negative-control peptide to test mechanism specificity, and some animal xenograft studies using human tumor cells implanted in immunodeficient mice.[2] [3]
These experiments report that PNC-27 reduces cancer cell viability and causes membrane damage under laboratory conditions, with some studies describing apparent selectivity for cancer over normal cells in culture. No human clinical trials of PNC-27 have been identified in public trial registries, and no peer-reviewed evidence establishes tumor shrinkage, survival benefit, or any patient-level outcome.[16] Laboratory cytotoxicity is a research signal, not proof of a working cancer treatment.
