Staurosporine(ZTALX380014M0-01)
Overview
Model apoptosis inducer. Potent cell-permeable inhibitor of a variety of protein kinases, e.g. protein kinase C (PKC), CDK1/cyclin B (IC50~5nM), CDK2/cyclin A (IC50=7nM), CDK4/cyclin D (IC50=3-10μM), CDK5/p25 (IC50=4nM), GSK-3β (IC50=15nM), Pim-1 kinase (IC50=10nM).Binds do the ATP binding domain. Did not inhibit PKC-ζ. At 1μM induced apoptosis in CHO cells. Inhibits topoisomerase II directly by blocking transfer of phosphodiester bonds from DNA to active site tyrosine.
