Genomic-scale measurement of mRNA turnover and the mechanisms of action of the anti-cancer drug flavopiridol
13 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Flavopiridol, a flavonoid currently in cancer clinical trials, inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) by competitively blocking their ATP-binding pocket. However, the mechanism of action of flavopiridol as an anti-cancer agent has not been fully elucidated. RESULTS: Using DNA microarrays, we found that flavopiridol inhibited gene expression broadly, in contrast to two other CDK inhibitors,...
