Ionophore antibiotics are promising compounds with potent anticancer and anti-cancer stem cell (anti-CSC) activity. However, resistance mediated by drug transporters potentially confines their use to CSC populations that do not exhibit appreciable drug efflux capacity. Further research is required to delineate which CSC subsets are likely to be susceptible to ionophore antibiotic cytotoxicity.
离子载体抗生素是具有强大抗癌和抗癌干细胞(抗CSC)活性的有前景的化合物。然而,由药物转运蛋白介导的耐药性可能会限制它们仅用于那些没有明显药物外排能力的CSC群体。需要进一步研究来确定哪些CSC亚群可能对离子载体抗生素的细胞毒性敏感。
