The 2,6-disubstituted purine reversine induces growth arrest and polyploidy in human cancer cells
1 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Reversine (RV) is the synthetic purine identified from a protein kinase-based screen of purine mimetics and it has been shown to induce muscle myoblast differentiation into progenitor cells that can be further converted into other cell lineages. Since protein kinases play a pivotal role in cell cycle control, we hypothesize that RV might affect the proliferation of cancer cells. Herein we report that RV inhibited...
