The following research provides validation for the efficacy of 3-bromopyruvate (3BP) as an effective anticancer therapeutic. As known among those researching 3BP, the  formulation to deliver this molecule is paramount in developing  a stable therapeutic agent that may be used as a drug in humans or animals. Therefore, these studies verify the potential efficacy of 3BP utilized in KoDiscovery Anticancer Technology (KAT), although Dr. Ko's patented formulation is unavailable for general research, unless specifically authorized by KoDiscovery, LLC.​
