Phytochemicals (natural plant-derived compounds) that may affect CSCs:
Curcumin
— suppresses self-renewal and pathways (Wnt/Notch/Hedgehog).
Resveratrol
— shown to reduce CSC populations and sphere formation in multiple models.
Sulforaphane (from broccoli sprouts)
— reported to inhibit CSC properties and pathways; active in vitro and in vivo.
EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate, green tea)
— reduces CSC markers and sphere formation in several cancer types.
Quercetin
— reported to inhibit CSC proliferation, self-renewal and invasiveness (breast, endometrial, others).
Berberine
— shown to suppress CSC “stemness” and reduce tumorigenic properties in multiple models.
Genistein (soy isoflavone)
— decreases CSC markers, sphere formation and stemness signaling in prostate/breast/other models.
Honokiol (Magnolia bark)
— shown to eliminate or suppress CSC-like populations in oral, colon, glioma models.
Luteolin
— inhibits stemness/EMT and reduces CSC markers and self-renewal in breast, prostate and other models.
Withaferin A (from Withania somnifera / ashwagandha)
— multiple preclinical reports show WA targets CSCs and reduces tumor growth/metastasis in models.

5380- ART/DHA,    Artemisinin and Its Derivatives as Potential Anticancer Agents
- Review, Var, NA
TumCG↓, Artemisinin (1, Figure 2) could suppress cell growth [16], reduce angiogenesis-related factors [17], and induce ferroptosis [18] in breast cancer cell lines
angioG↓,
Ferroptosis↑,
TumCP↑, Dihydroartemisinin (2, Figure 2) exhibited anticancer effects against breast cancer by suppressing cell proliferation [16], inhibiting angiogenesis [19], inducing autophagy [20] and pyroptosis [21], and targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs) [
TumAuto↑,
CSCs↑,
eff↑, Dihydroartemisinin is more potent than artemisinin, as the IC50 values at 24 h were lower on MCF-7 (129.1 μM versus 396.6 μM) and MDA-MB-231 (62.95 μM versus 336.63 μM)
YAP/TEAD↓, Additionally, dihydroartemisinin was proven to have the ability to reduce the expression of yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), which has been commonly used as a prognostic marker in liver cancer.
TumCCA↑, induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by promoting oxygen species (ROS) accumulation.
ROS↑,
ChemoSen↑, The application of combination treatment using artemisinin and its derivatives with commonly used chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, doxorubicin, temozolomide, etc., always exhibits significantly improved anticancer effects
N-cadherin↓, and inhibiting the proliferation, colony formation, and invasiveness of colon cancer cells by inhibiting NRP2, N-cadherin, and Vimentin expression
Vim↓,
MMP9↓, by decreasing the expression of HuR and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 proteins [24],
eff↑, Further investigations suggested that both dihydroartemisinin treatment and the loss of PRIM2 could lead to a decreased GSH level and induce cellular lipid ROS and mitochondrial MDA expression.
STAT3↓, Recently, artemisinin and its derivatives were reported to have potential as direct STAT3 inhibitors [98].
CD133↓, dihydroartemisinin treatment could significantly reduce the expression of CSC markers (CD133, CD44, Nanog, c-Myc, and OCT4) by downregulating Akt/mTOR pathway
CD44↓,
Nanog↓,
cMyc↓,
OCT4↓,
Akt↓,
mTOR↓,

5005- Sal,    Salinomycin Derivatives Kill Breast Cancer Stem Cells by Lysosomal Iron Targeting
- Review, Var, NA
CSCs↑, Salinomycin (1) exhibits a large spectrum of biological activities including the capacity to selectively eradicate cancer stem cells (CSC), making it and its derivatives promising candidates for the development of drug leads against CSC

5004- Sal,    Targeting Telomerase Enhances Cytotoxicity of Salinomycin in Cancer Cells
- in-vitro, BC, MCF-7 - in-vitro, BC, MDA-MB-231
eff↑, Herein, we improve the toxicity of salinomycin against cancer cells by telomerase inhibition BIBR1532 (BIBR), which binds to the active site of telomerase reverse transcriptase.
AntiCan↑, targeting telomerase improves anti-cancer effects of salinomycin.
CSCs↑, Until 2009, Weinberg group reported that salinomycin possessed anti-cancer effects, especially anti-cancer stem-like cell activities
Wnt↓, inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, induction differentiation, and overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
β-catenin/ZEB1↓,
Diff↑,
ROS↑,
toxicity↝, has been reported that salinomycin in high dose exhibits severe systemic adverse reactions in mammals, which hinders its application as a drug for human diseases.
selectivity↝, Therefore, it is urgent to find more effective methods for increasing salinomycin’s toxicity to cancer cells with little effects on normal cells.
eff↑, BIBR improves salinomycin’s toxicity partially through enhancing ROS generation.

4909- Sal,    Salinomycin: Anti-tumor activity in a pre-clinical colorectal cancer model
- vitro+vivo, CRC, NA
AntiTum↑, salinomycin alone or in combination with FOLFOX exerts superior antitumor activity compared to FOLFOX therapy in a patient-derived mouse xenograft model of colorectal cancer
Apoptosis↑, Salinomycin induces apoptosis of human colorectal cancer cells, accompanied by accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria and reactive oxygen species
mtDam↑,
ROS↑, Accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria and increased production of reactive oxygen species upon salinomycin treatment
SOD1↓, These effects are associated with expressional down-regulation of superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) in response to salinomycin treatment.
ChemoSen↑, salinomycin alone or in combination with 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin exerts increased antitumoral activity compared to common chemotherapy.
CSCs↑, Anti-stem cell activity of salinomycin in TIC cultures
ALDH↓, Strikingly, exposure to 5-FU and oxaliplatin resulted in a more pronounced reduction of the ALDH1+ population compared to salinomycin treatment
TumCG↓, Salinomycin inhibits tumor growth in a patient-derived xenograft model
TumCP↓, Salinomycin inhibits proliferation, induces cell death and abolishes ATP production of human colorectal cancer cells
TumCD↑,
ATP↓,
