Chemical decontamination of iPS cell-derived neural cell mixtures

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Feb 1;54(11):1355-1358. doi: 10.1039/c7cc08686e.

Abstract

This report describes the design and evaluation of phosphorylated 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38-P), which selectively eliminates tumor-forming proliferative stem cells, including human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and neural stem cells, from iPSC-derived neural cell mixtures. Results of the present study demonstrate that simple phosphorylation of an anticancer drug can provide a safe, cost-effective, and chemically-defined tool for decontaminating hiPSC-derived neuron.
