Does Dinaciclib block Cdk1?
Does Dinaciclib block Cdk1?
Dinaciclib (SCH727965, PS-095760) is a novel and potent CDK inhibitor for CDK2, CDK5, CDK1 and CDK9 with IC50 of 1 nM, 1 nM, 3 nM and 4 nM in cell-free assays, respectively. It also blocks thymidine (dThd) DNA incorporation. Dinaciclib induces apoptosis through the activation of caspases 8 and 9.
What is the minimum effective dose of Dinaciclib?
Dinaciclib MED (minimum effective dose) appears to be <8 mg/kg. Dinaciclib is well tolerated, and the maximum body weight loss in the highest dosage group is 5%. Dinaciclib has dose-dependent antitumor activity in vivo, and that nearly complete inhibition of tumor growth occurs at a dose level below the MTD (maximum tolerated dose).
What is the mechanism of action of Dinaciclib?
Dinaciclib is a pyrazolo [1,5-a]pyrimidine with potential antineoplastic activity. Dinaciclib selectively inhibits cyclin dependent kinases CDK1, CDK2, CDK5, and CDK9; inhibition of CDK1 and CDK2 may result in cell cycle repression and tumor cell apoptosis.
Does dinaciclib work on xenograft cells?
Dinaciclib is a small molecule multi-CDK inhibitor targeting CDK 2/5/9. In this study, the therapeutic efficacy of dinaciclib was assessed using patient-derived xenograft cells (PDXC) and CCA cell lines.
