  • the invention also provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising the salinomycin derivatives of the present invention and methods of using said compositions in the treatment of various disorders.
  • Salinomycin is a polyether antibiotic used in the animal farming as an anti- coccidiostat and is produced by Streptomyces albus. Recently, salinomycin was identified as a potent inhibitor of breast cancer stem cells based on a high-throughput screening of compounds with several fold higher potency than the anti-cancer drug Paclitaxel. Salinomycin has also been shown to induce apoptosis in many human cancer cells, however the mechanism of action is still not fully understood (Zhao, Y. et al., Oncol. Rep. 2018, 40, 877-886). Reports also indicate that salinomycin inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) mediated angiogenesis, which is an attractive strategy for cancer chemotherapy.
  • VAGFR2 vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2
  • WNT/D-catenin pathway is a critical process responsible for the cancer stem cell survival and salinomycin is also known to inhibit cell growth in several WNT dependent cancer cells in vitro. Salinomycin inhibits WNT-induced phosphorylation of the co-receptor LRP6, thereby inducing its degradation.
