Description

Application

Roscovitine has been used:

an inhibitor of p34cdc2/cyclin B kinase to preculture porcine oocytes
as a supplement in TCM199 medium for in vitro prematuration of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) of adult goats
in astrocyte conditioned media as an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5)
as a CDK2 inhibitor in culture media to treat hESCs

Biochem/physiol Actions

Roscovitine is a purine derived inhibitor. It stimulates apoptosis in cancer cells. It has inhibitory action on mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) and M-phase promoting factor (MPF) kinase activity. Roscovitine is known to arrest meiosis and thus, prevent embryonic development.

Roscovitine is a potent, selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases.
