Description

Salinomycin is an anticoccidial drug with potent anti-bacterial activity and an novel anticancer agent targeting human cancer stem cells.


Salinomycin was found in the culture mycelium of Streptomyces albus by Otake et al. of the University of Tokyo in 1973. Like other polyether ionophore antibiotics, it shows activity against gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and Coccidium. Salinomycin has been used as a feed additive to protect poultry against coccidial infections.

ChEBI: Salinomycin is a polyketide and a spiroketal. It has a role as an animal growth promotant and a potassium ionophore.

Salinomycin Use and Manufacturing

Salinomycin is a polyether ionophore with broad spectrum Gram positive and anti-coccidial activity. Salinomycin has a high affinity for monovalent cations, particularly potassium. Salinomycin is used to control coccidia in animals and for growth promotion in ruminants. Recently, salinomycin has been shown to inhibit cancer stem cells and is >100 times more potent than taxol. While the mechanism of action is unknown, it was noted that among the 60,000 compounds screened, another monovalent ionophore, nigericin, and a chloride channel inhibitor, avermectin, were also active.


antibacterial


Salinomycin was used as a standard in the development of LC-MS/MS method for detection of residual coccidiostats in egg and muscle samples. It was used to screen out CD44+CD24-mesenchymal-like subpopulation within breast carcinomas.
