Biochem/physiol Actions NSC43067 is a Cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitor which binds to a novel conserved site on Cdk, presumably the p27 binding pocket. The binding apparently directly induces Cdk1, Cdk2, and Cdk4 protein aggregation. Cdks 1, 2, 4, and 6 are the key Cdks that regulate the cell cycle, and are a target for a cancer treatment. NSC43067 arrests the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase at lower concentrations and at the G2/M cell cycle phase at higher concentrations. The action appears to be reversible. |
