Abstract To identify novel small molecules that induce selective cancer cell death, we screened a chemical library containing 1040 compounds in HT29 colon cancer and CCD18-Co normal colon cells, using a phenotypic cell-based viability assay system with the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). We discovered a novel anthraquinone derivative, N-(4-[{(9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydro-1-anthracenyl)sulfonyl}amino]phenyl)-Nmethylacetamide, which was cytotoxic against the human colon cancer cells tested. The novel anthraquinone derivative is a potent, cancer cell-specific cytotoxic agent. Furthermore, This derivative induced cell death through cell cycle arrest at the S and G2/M phases, and enhanced either the chemo or radiosensitivity of cancer cells.
