The Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor Seliciclib (R-roscovitine; CYC202) Decreases the Expression of Mitotic Control Genes and Prevents Entry into Mitosis
15 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
The cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor seliciclib (R-roscovitine, CYC202) shows promising antitumor activity in preclinical models and is currently undergoing phase II clinical trials. Inhibition of the CDKs by seliciclib could contribute to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis seen with the drug. However, it is common for drugs to exert multiple effects on gene expression and biochemical pathways. To further our...
