General description
A potent, reversible, and selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) that exhibits about ten-fold greater efficacy towards p34cdk1 and p33cdk2 and twenty-fold greater efficacy towards p33cdk5 relative to Olomoucine (Cat. No. 495620). Inhibits p34cdk1/cyclin B (IC50 = 650 nM), p33cdk2/cyclin A (IC50 = 700 nM), p33cdk2/cyclin E (IC50 = 700 nM), and p33cdk5/p35 (IC50 = 200 nM) by competing for the ATP binding domain of the kinases. Exhibits reduced sensitivity towards related kinases including ERK1 and ERK2 (IC50 = 34 µM and 14 µM, respectively). Roscovitine does not significantly affect the activity of other protein kinases even at 100 µM, including p34cdk4/cyclin D1 and p40cdk6/cyclin D2. Compared to olomoucine, roscovitine displays increased anti-mitotic activity at the G1/S and G2/M phases of the cell cycle. A 50 mM (5 mg/282 µl) solution of Roscovitine (Cat. No. 557364) in DMSO is also available.
A potent, reversible, and selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (cdks). Exhibits greater inhibitory potency compared to olomoucine (Cat. No. 495620). Inhibits p34 cdc2/cyclin B (IC50 = 0.65 µM), p33 cdk2/cyclin A (IC50 = 0.70 µM), p33 cdk2/cyclin E (IC50 = 0.70 µM), and p33 cdk5/p35 (IC50 = 0.20 µM) by competing for the ATP binding domain of these kinases. Exhibits very low sensitivity towards related kinases, such as erk1 and erk2 (IC50 = 34 µM and 14 µM, respectively). Roscovitine does not significantly affect the activity of other protein kinases even at 100 µM and compared to olomoucine, roscovitine displays increased anti-mitotic activity at the G1/S and G2/M phases of the cell cycle.

One neurotoxic mechanism of amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ), the major component of senile plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, is to trigger cell cycle reentry in fully differentiated neurons. However, the detailed underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Using Aβ25-35-treated
