Pharmaceutical composition for preventing, alleviating, or treating cancer containing 2,6-dichloro-4-(4-(4-hydroxycyclohexylamino)-7H- pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)phenol as active ingredient

Abstract

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer, containing 2,6-dichloro-4-(4-(4-hydroxycyclohexylamino)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-D]pyrimidin-5-yl)phenol as an active ingredient. It has been ascertained that the present invention inhibits the formation of mammospheres in a breast cancer cell line and, when compared to anticancer drugs sorafenib and etoposide, which are topoisomerase inhibitors widely used in lung cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, melanoma and the like, exhibits remarkable effects greater than or equal to those of the anticancer drugs sorafenib and etoposide. In addition, a compound of example 1, according to the present invention, exhibits synergistic anticancer effects when combined with radiotherapy or other anticancer drugs in a breast cancer cell line and a liver cancer cell line, and thus can be developed as an anticancer drug or a food exhibiting excellent effects in the treatment of cancer.
