1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexabromocyclohexane is a potent and specific inhibitor of JAK2 autophosphorylation

Definition

ChEBI: 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexabromocyclohexane is a bromohydrocarbon that is cyclohexane in which the hydrogen at positions 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 have been replaced by bromo groups. It is a potent inhibitor of JAK2 tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation. It has a role as an EC 2.7.10.2 (non-specific protein-tyrosine kinase) inhibitor. It is a bromohydrocarbon and a bromoalkane. It derives from a hydride of a cyclohexane.

Biological Activity

Potently and directly inhibits JAK2 tyrosine kinase autophosphorylation, specifically inhibiting ligand-dependent JAK2 activation. A 16-hour treatment with 1 μ M of compound reduces JAK2 tyrosine autophosphorylation levels to ~ 50% while 50 μ M elimates nearly all JAK2 activity. Non-cytotoxic at 100 μ M.

Storage
