[0002] Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor of the head and neck, with a high incidence in southern my country, such as Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, and Fujian. Currently, the main treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy. Common chemotherapy drugs include paclitaxel, cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, nedaplatin, and gemcitabine. However, these drugs have significant side effects and are prone to drug resistance, affecting patient treatment and recovery. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find new drugs for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
[0003] Cyclofaulknamycin (Cyc-fly) is a small polypeptide secondary metabolite produced by Streptomyces, first isolated from Streptomyces albus. Cyclofaulknamycin contains a cyclic guanidine group in its structure. Although known compounds containing cyclic guanidine groups exhibit significant pharmacological activity, such as the broad-spectrum antibacterial compound muraymycins, the anti-tuberculosis drugs viomycin and capreomycin IA, the in vitro antibacterial and antitumor activities of cyclofaulknamycin have not been reported.
