Bioactivity

Salinomycin (Procoxacin), a polyether potassium ionophore antibiotic, selectively inhibits the growth of gram-positive bacteria. Salinomycin is a potent inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, blocks Wnt-induced LRP6 phosphorylation. Salinomycin (Procoxacin) shows selective activity against human cancer stem cells[1][2][3].

Invitro

Salinomycin is a potent inhibitor of the Wnt signaling cascade. Incubation of the malignant lymphocytes with Salinomycin induces apoptosis within 48 h, with a mean IC50 of 230 nM. Salinomycin is also an antibiotic potassium ionophore, has been reported recently to act as a selective breast cancer stem cell inhibitor[1]. Salinomycin is a novel and an effective anticancer drug, inhibits SW620 cells and Cisp-resistant SW620 cells with IC50 of 1.54±0.23 μM and 0.32±0.05 μM, respectively. Salinomycin is found to have the ability to kill both cancer stem cells (CSCs) and therapy-resistant cancer cells. After continuous Salinomycin treatment for 48 h, the apoptotic cells are observed under the microscope and counted randomly at least 100 cells in one field. The number of apoptotic cells which are stained by Hoechst33342 is significantly increased in Cisp-resistant SW620 cells (20.20±3.72) than that of SW620 cells (9.40±2.07) per 100 cells (p<0.05). After treatment with Salinomycin for 48 h, flow cytometric analysis is used to detect the cell apoptosis both in SW620 cells and Cisp-resistant SW620 cells. The cell apoptotic rate in Cisp-resistant SW620 cells (37.82±3.63%) is significantly higher than that of SW620 cells (16.78±2.56%) (p<0.05)[2].
