Application

Roscovitine has been used:
  • an inhibitor of p34cdc2/cyclin B kinase to preculture porcine oocytes
  • as a supplement in TCM199 medium for in vitro prematuration of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) of adult goats
  • in astrocyte conditioned media as an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5)
  • as a CDK2 inhibitor in culture media to treat hESCs

Biochem/physiol Actions

Roscovitine is a potent, selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases.
Roscovitine is a purine derived inhibitor. It stimulates apoptosis in cancer cells. It has inhibitory action on mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) and M-phase promoting factor (MPF) kinase activity. Roscovitine is known to arrest meiosis and thus, prevent embryonic development.

세포 주기 연구를 위한 생체 활성 저분자

증식하는 세포에서 세포 주기는 4단계로 구성됩니다. Gap 1(G1)은 유사분열과 세포 성장을 특징으로 하는 DNA 복제 사이의 기간입니다. DNA 복제는 합성(S)기에 일어나며, 세포 분열을 위한 성장 및 준비를 하는 Gap 2(G2)가 뒤따릅니다. 이 세 단계는 함께 세포주기의 간기 단계를 구성합니다. 간기 이후에 분열(M)기가 뒤따릅니다.
