Description
  • Potent and selective inhibitor of CDKs [1, 2, 4, 16].
  • More potent than olomoucine [3].
  • Inhibits CDK1/cyclin B kinase (IC50 = 450 nM) [2], CDK2 (IC50 = 700 nM) [4] and CDK5/p35 (IC50 = 160 nM) [4,5]. 
  • Inhibits M phase promoting factor (MPF) kinase activity [2].
  • Arrests human fibroblasts in G1 phase [6].
  • Antitumor compound [8].
  • Activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway [9].
  • Targets both the p53 and NF-κB pathways[10].
  • Has effects on calcium channel gating [12, 17, 18].
  • Prevents DNA damage-induced cyclin A1 upregulation [13].
  • Apoptosis inducer [11, 15, 20].
  • As CYC202 in phase I clinical trials [14].
  • Reviews [3, 7, 19].
