Abstract

Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and its synthetic chiral analog dl-nordihydroguaiaretic acid (Nordy) show collective benefits in anti-tumor, and defending against viral and bacterial infections. Here, we synthetized a new derivative-NDGA-P21 based on NDGA structure. Regardless of the structural similarity, NDGA-P21 exhibited stronger capability in suppression of glioblastoma (GBM) cell growth as compared to Nordy. Mechanically, NDGA-P21 is able to arrest cell cycle of GBM cells in G0/G1 phase, and to block cell proliferation sequentially. It is important to note that NDGA-P21 is able to impair the stemness of glioma stem-like cells (GSLCs) via measurement of colony formation and sphere formation. Taken together, the novel NDGA-based compound NDGA-P21 exhibits potential therty -20 apeutic implications through inhibiting proliferation of glioma cells and self-renewal capability of GSLCs.

Cancer Stem Cells in Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of brain tumor. It contains a population of tumor initiating stem cell-like cells known as cancer stem cells. Investigations are ongoing into these cancer stem cells found in these solid tumors which are highly resistance to treatment. Here is the latest research on cancer stem cells in glioblastoma.
