A cell-permeable red pigment, originally isolated from a species of marine sponge, that acts as a potent, ATP-competitive inhibitor of Cdk4/cyclin D1 (IC50 = 350 nM). Reported to inhibit Cdk6/cyclin D1 with much lower potency (IC50 = 3.4 µM). Exhibits little to no effect on the activities of several other Cdk′s (IC50 >20 µM) and tyrosine kinases (IC50 >10 µM). Biological effects are attributed, in part, to its ability to intercalate into DNA. Also displays anti-microbial activity.
