Title:
CANCER STEM CELL DIFFERENTIATION INDUCER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/014936
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an inducer of the differentiation of a cancer stem cell having resistance to existing therapy methods, which can be effective for the treatment of cancer through the induction of the differentiation of the cancer stem cell. Specifically provided are an inducer of the differentiation of a cancer stem cell which comprises an acetaminophen derivative as an active ingredient and an anti-cancer activity enhancer which comprises an acetaminophen derivative as an active ingredient and can enhance the anti-cancer activity of an anti-cancer agent when used in combination with the anti-cancer agent, wherein the acetaminophen derivative is acetaminophen (p-hydroxyacetamide) or o-hydroxyacetamide.
