Monensin is an antiprotozoal agent produced by Streptomyces cinnamonensis. Monensin is a sodium and proton selective ionophore and is widely used as such in bioactive compound studies, particularly as an anti-tumor agent. It has an inhibitory effect on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascade, which may be useful when the cascade is aberrantly activated in cancer cells. Monensin is a prospective anticancer drug for therapy of neoplasia with deregulated Wnt signaling. References: Abrar A, Tsukahara T, Kondo M, Ban-Tokuda T, Chao W, Matsui H.
