Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a major cause of tumor recurrence; therefore, using CSC inhibitors is a potential strategy for cancer chemotherapy. We used our previously reported screening system that targets CSCs to identify a new scarce compound, streptospherin A (1), isolated from Streptomyces sp. KUSC-240. The planar structure of 1 was determined by high-resolution-MS (HR-MS) and NMR analysis. Nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy correlation and J-resolved heteronuclear multiple bond connectivity analysis revealed the partial relative configuration on the tetrahydropyran ring. Streptospherin A (1) inhibited CSC sphere formation and suppressed the growth of CSCs. These results suggest that streptospherin A (1) is a potential anticancer agent that may target CSCs.
