PNC-27 (30 mg Vial)
PNC-27 is a synthetic 32‑amino‑acid peptide containing an HDM‑2‑binding domain linked to a membrane‑penetrating sequence, studied preclinically for its selective cytotoxicity toward cancer cells expressing abnormal p53/HDM‑2 complexes. No human clinical trials exist, and the FDA explicitly warns that PNC-27 products are unapproved and lack established safety data. This educational protocol presents a once‑daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin‑syringe measurements.
Detailed protocol below.
| Week | Daily Dose (mcg) | Units (per injection) (mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 100 mcg (0.10 mg) | 1 unit (0.01 mL) |
| Weeks 3–4 | 200 mcg (0.20 mg) | 2 units (0.02 mL) |
| Weeks 5–8 | 300 mcg (0.30 mg) | 3 units (0.03 mL) |
| Weeks 9–12 | 400 mcg (0.40 mg) | 4 units (0.04 mL) |
| Weeks 13–16 | 500 mcg (0.50 mg) | 5 units (0.05 mL) |
- •Peptide Vials (PNC-27, 30 mg each):
- •Insulin Syringes (U‑100 or 30/50‑unit for precision):
- •Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use 3.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.
- •Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.
