Product Description

Salinomycin (also known as AHR-3096, or Procoxacin) is a potent antibacterial and coccidiostat ionophore therapeutic agent with potential anticancer activities by targeting stem cells. Salinomycin (Procoxacin) has been shown by Piyush Gupta to kill breast cancer stem cells at least 100 times more effectively than another popular anti-cancer compound (paclitaxel) in mice. The mechanism of action by which salinomycin (Procoxacin) kills cancer stem cells specifically remains unknown, but is thought to be due to its action as a potassium ionophore due to the detection of Nigericin in the same compound screen. Salinomycin has high toxicity and a narrow therapeutic window which may limit its clinical use.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Salinomycin is a strong Wnt signaling cascade agent. With an average IC50 of 230 nM, salinomycin oxazoline can be produced in cells in 48 hours. Another antibacterial potassium ionophore is salinomycin. According to recent reports, it is a novel and potent anti-cancer medication for breast cancer stem cells. The SW620 cells and Cisp-resistant SW620 cells are inhibited by salinomycin, with IC50 values of 1.54±0.23 μM and 0.32±0.05 μM, respectively. It was discovered that salinomycin had the ability to destroy cancer stem cells (CSC) and their carrying capacity. Following a 48-hour period of continuous salinomycin treatment, the stained cells were examined under a microscope, and a minimum of 100 cells were randomly counted within each field of view. The amount of Hoechst33342-stained cells in Cisp-resistant SW620 cells (20.20±3.72) revealed a significant difference from 9.40±2.07)/100 cells in SW620 cells (p<0.05). Both Cisp-resistant and SW620 cells were found using flow cytometric analysis 48 hours after the cells were treated with salinomycin. Compared to SW620 cells (16.78±2.56%), the disinfection rate of Cisp (37.82±3.63%) was much greater (p<0.05).[2].
ln Vivo
After receiving 4 mg/kg of salinomycin (Sal), 8 mg/kg of salinomycin, and 10 μL/g of saline, the mice were sacrificed six weeks later. When compared to the control group, the liver tumor size was smaller in the salinomycin-treated group. There was a significant drop in the average tumor diameter (from 12.17 mm to 3.67 mm; p<0.05) and average tumor volume (V=length×width2×0.5) from 819 mm3 to 25.25 mm3. To assess salinomycin's antitumor activity, tumors were then removed and put through immunohistochemistry, TUNEL assay, and HE staining. The tissue structure of liver cancer is revealed by HE staining, which displays nuclei of varying sizes as well as the destroyed liver cord structure. Following salinomycin treatment, immunohistochemistry revealed decreased PCNA expression. The cell apoptosis rate was higher in the salinomycin-treated group than in the control group, as demonstrated by HE staining and the TUNEL assay. Moreover, immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the treatment with salinomycin increased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. The group treated with salinomycin had lower levels of β-catenin protein expression than the control group [4]. Streptomyces albicans fermentation results in the production of salinomycin, a monocarboxylic acid polyether antibiotic. Its unique ring structure enables it to form complexes with the extracellular cations of coccidia and pathogenic microorganisms, particularly K+, Na+, and Rb+, which alters the ion concentration both inside and outside of the cell [5].
Animal Protocol
Mice: 4 and 8 mg/kg, i.p. inection; Rat: 8 mg/kg, i.p. inection
Mice: Nude mice (nu/nu; 4-6 weeks of age) are used. HepG2 cells are suspended in 100 mL 1:1 serum-free DMEM and Matrigel. Mice are anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine and after surgically opening the abdomen, HepG2 cells are inoculated into the liver parenchyma and mice are monitored every 3 days for 35 days. Finally, 18 nude mice are divided into three groups that are intraperitoneally injected daily for 6 weeks: two Salinomycin-treated groups (4 mg/kg Salinomycin group, 8 mg/kg Salinomycin group) and the control group (saline water group)


Rats: total of 10 male rats are used in the experiment. After a routine anesthesia, the abdomen is opened. After a resuspension of high glucose medium not containing serum DMEM, and matrigel, the bladder transitional cancer cell line T24 is inoculated in the parenchyma of bladder in rats, and then the abdomen is sutured. After operation, the rats are randomized into the experiment group and the control group with five in each group. After operation, the rats in the experiment group are immediately given intraperitoneal injection of Salinomycin with a dosage of 8 mg/kg, while the rats in the control group are given intraperitoneal injection of normal saline. A close observation is paid during the drug administration period. After 15 d, the rats are sacrificed by cervical dislocation, and the complete tumor tissues are stripped to observe the tumor growth and metastasis.
