(5Z)-5-[[3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene]-2,4-thiazolidinedione

Description

SMI-4a (438190-29-5) is a selective, ATP-competitive inhibitor of the Pim protein kinases (IC50 = 24 and 100 nM for Pim-1 and Pim-2 respectively). Selective over a panel of ~50 other kinases.1?Induces cell cycle arrest in leukemia and prostate cancer cells.2?Blocks the growth of a wide range of myeloid and lymphoid cell lines with precursor T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (pre-T-LBL/T-ALL) being highly sensitive.3?SMI-4a is a useful tool for exploring the involvement of Pim in cellular signaling.4?Cell permeable.
