UCN-01 (7-hydroxystaurosporine) is a protein kinase inhibitor which is under development as an anti-cancer agent in the USA and Japan. Although UCN-01 was originally isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. as a protein kinase C-selective inhibitor, its ultimate

Many tumor types are associated with genetic changes in the retinoblastoma pathway, leading to hyperactivation of cyclin-dependent kinases and incorrect progression through the cell cycle. Small-molecule cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors are being developed as therapeutic agents. Of these, flavopiridol and UCN-01

A35 is a novel synthetic cyclizing-berberine recently patented as an antitumor compound. Based on its dual targeting topoisomerase (top) activity, A35 might overcome the resistance of single-target top inhibitors and has no cardiac toxicity for not targeting top2β. In this
