Salinomycin sodium salt

Description

Salinomycin Na (55721-31-8) is a polyether ionophore with antibiotic and anti-cancer properties. It induces cell death in some types of cancer cells such as breast, lung, gastric cancer, leukemia and osteosarcoma.1?Salinomycin Na displays selective toxicity for cancer stem cells.1?Induces rapid mitochondrial hyperpolarization.2?Induces selective cytotoxicity to MCF-7 mammosphere cells via the hedgehog signaling pathway.3?Salinomycin Na reduces doxorubicin resistance of breast tumor cells by inhibiting drug efflux pump expression and activity.4?Kills cancer stem cells by sequestering iron.5

The Uses of Salinomycin sodium salt

Salinomycin is an ionophore agent.

The Uses of Salinomycin sodium salt

Salinomycin sodium is prepared from salinomycin taking advantage of the acidic carboxylic acid which ionises and readily forms the salt in sodium hydroxide solutions. The sodium salt is the preferred formulation in animals to prevent coccidiosis and to promote growth. Salinomycin has a high affinity for monovalent cations, particularly potassium. Recently, salinomycin has been shown to inhibit cancer stem cells.
