Description : Flavopiridol is a potent and selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) with IC50 values of ~41 nM for CDK1, CDK2, CDK4, CDK6 and 300 nM for CDK7, respectively [1].CDKs are a family of protein kinases regulating the cell cycle and play an important role in transcription, mRNA processing, and cell differentiation.Analysis of the crystal structure suggested flavopiridol binded to the ATP-binding pocket of CDK2. In MCF-7 breast cancer cells, flavopiridol reduced the mRNA level of cyclin D1 protein and cyclin D3 protein [1]. In 23 human tumor cell models, flavopiridol significantly inhibited human bone marrow colony formation between 10 and 100 ng/ml [2].In prostate cancer xenograft PRXFI369, flavopinidol (10 mg/kg/day) had antitumor activity of optimal test/control (T/C) of 33% and a growth delay of 30 days. Also, it reduced tumor volume by 85%. In prostate cancer xenograft PRXFI337, the optimal T/C was 27% and the growth delay was 17 days [2]. References:[1]. Senderowicz AM.
