AZD 5438

The Uses of AZD 5438

AZD 5438 is a potent oral inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases 1, 2, and 9, which leads to leads to pharmacodynamic changes and potent antitumor effects in human tumor xenografts.

What are the applications of Application

AZD 5438 is an antiproliferative agent and potent inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases Cdk1, Cdk2, and Cdk9

Definition

ChEBI: 4-(2-methyl-3-propan-2-yl-4-imidazolyl)-N-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)-2-pyrimidinamine is a sulfonamide.

Biological Activity

azd5438 is a potent small molecule inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) 1, 2 and 9 with half maximal inhibitory concentration ic50 of 16 nmol/l, 6 nmol/l and 20 nmol/l respectively. azd5438 has also been found to potently inhibit the human cyclin e/cdk2 complex, the cyclin b1/cdk1 complex and the cyclin a/cdk2 complex with ic50 of 0.006 μm, 0.016 μm and 0.045 μm respectively. in previous studies, azd5438 has exhibited significant anti-proliferative activity in a few human tumor cell lines with ic50 ranging from 0.2 μmol/l to 1.7 μmol/l, in which the phosphorylation of a few proteins, including cdk substrates prb, nucleolin, protein phosphatase 1a and rna polymerase ii cooh-terminal domain, and cell cycling at g2-m, s and g1 phases were inhibited.
