Biochem/physiol Actions

CR8 is a potent and selective inhibitor of cyclin dependent kinase (CDK1, 2, 5, 7, and 9). CR8 is a more potent pyridyl analogue of roscovitine (Cat. No. R7772). In comparison to roscovirtine, the compound gains in potency toward CK1, which is involved in amyloid-β formation. The R-CR8 enantiomer is slightly more potent than S. CR8 is around 30 times more potent at cellular assay then roscovitine. Acts as a molecular glue to induce cyclin K degradation.

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) induces secondary tissue damage that is associated with astrogliosis and inflammation. We previously reported that acute upregulation of a cluster of cell-cycle-related genes contributes to post-mitotic cell death and secondary damage after SCI. However, it

Sulfated carbohydrate metabolism is a fundamental process, which occurs in all domains of life. Carbohydrate sulfatases are enzymes that remove sulfate groups from carbohydrates and are essential to the depolymerisation of complex polysaccharides. Despite their biological importance, carbohydrate sulfatases are

Apoptosis of post-mitotic neurons plays a significant role in secondary tissue damage following traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Activation of E2F1-dependent transcription promotes expression of pro-apoptotic factors, including CDK1; this signal transduction pathway is believed to represent an important mechanism
