A potent, cell-permeable, non-tubulin-interacting mitosis inhibitor. Arrests mammalian cells in mitosis with monopolar spindles. In vitro, it specifically inhibits the motility of the mitotic kinesin Eg5, a motor protein involved in the assembly and maintenance of the mitotic spindle (IC50 = 14 µM).

Preimplantation embryos often consist of a combination of euploid and aneuploid cells, suggesting that safeguards preventing the generation and propagation of aneuploid cells in somatic cells might be deficient in embryos. In somatic cells, a mitotic timer mechanism has been

Culture of oocytes and embryos in media under oil is a cornerstone of fertility treatment, and extensively employed in experimental investigation of early mammalian development. It has been noted anecdotally by some that certain small molecule inhibitors might lose activity

During the entry process, the human papillomavirus (HPV) capsid is trafficked to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), whereupon it enters the nucleus during mitosis. We previously demonstrated that the minor capsid protein L2 assumes a transmembranous conformation in the TGN. Here
Chromosome segregation errors in mammalian oocyte meiosis lead to developmentally compromised aneuploid embryos and become more common with advancing maternal age. Known contributors include age-related chromosome cohesion loss and spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) fallibility in meiosis-I. But how effective the
