Biochem/physiol Actions

Reversible: yes

Product competes with ATP.

Primary TargetCDK4/D1

Cell permeable: yes

Target IC₅₀: 0.35 µM against Cdk4/D1

General description

A cell-permeable red pigment, originally isolated from a species of marine sponge, that acts as a potent, ATP-competitive inhibitor of Cdk4/cyclin D1 (IC₅₀ = 350 nM). Reported to inhibit Cdk6/cyclin D1 with much lower potency (IC₅₀ = 3.4 µM). Exhibits little to no effect on the activities of several other Cdk′s (IC₅₀ >20 µM) and tyrosine kinases (IC₅₀ >10 µM). Biological effects are attributed, in part, to its ability to intercalate into DNA. Also displays anti-microbial activity.

It inhibits Cdk6/D1 with much lower potency (IC₅₀ = 3.4 µM) and has been shown not to affect the activities of several other Cdk's (IC₅₀ >20 µM) and tyrosine kinases (IC₅₀ >10 µM). Part of its biological effects may also be attributed to its ability to intercalate into DNA. Has also been shown to display anti-microbial activity.
