Description: Purvalanol A is a potent CDK inhibitor, which effectively suppresses Src-mediated transformation by inhibiting both CDKs and c-Src. indicating that the activation of CDKs contributes to the c-Src transformation. Purvalanol A suppressed the c-Src activity as effectively as the Src-selective inhibitor PP2, and that it reverted the transformed morphology to a nearly normal shape with less cytotoxicity than PP2. Purvalanol A induced a strong G2-M arrest, whereas PP2 weakly acted on the G1-S transition. Furthermore, when compared with PP2, purvalanol A more effectively suppressed the growth of human colon cancer HT29 and SW480 cells, in which Src family kinases and CDKs are activated.

More Info:         

Biological target: Purvalanol A is a CDK inhibitor, which inhibits cdc2-cyclin B, cdk2-cyclin A, cdk2-cyclin E, cdk4-cyclin D1, and cdk5-p35 with IC50s of 4, 70, 35, 850, 75 nM, resepctively.
In vitro activity: The present study has made the novel discovery that the CDK‐2 inhibitor, purvalanol A, triggers a rapid onset of apoptosis in human neutrophils, but not in PBMCs. This inhibitor induces a rapid loss of Mcl‐1 protein, but this inhibitor had no effect on Mcl‐1 mRNA levels (measured by qPCR) during a 4‐h incubation compared to untreated control levels. This rapid loss in Mcl‐1 protein levels was found to be due to an increase in the turnover rate of the protein that was induced by purvalanol A, the half‐life of the protein being decreased from approximately 2 h to approximately 1 h. Unlike PBMCs, which also express the anti‐apoptotic proteins, Bcl‐2 and Bcl‐XL, this loss of Mcl‐1 induced by purvalanol A induced rapid cell death in neutrophils because of their high dependency upon this protein for survival.

In vivo activity: However, purvalanol A had a significant effect on the number of BrdU nuclei [F(2, 15) = 11.36; p < 0.001], if it was given 2.5 h before BrdU administration. Post hoc Duncan’s test revealed that a higher concentration of purvalanol A (40 nmol/3 µl) significantly decreased the number of BrdU-positive nuclei in the DG of the rat hippocampus (by approximately 35%, p < 0.005) (Fig. 1, 2) while a lower concentration of the CDKs inhibitor (4 nmol/3 µl) did not affect the number of BrdU-positive cells in the DG (p < 0.98) (Fig. 1). The present study indicates that purvalanol A inhibited the cell proliferation in the DG of the hippocampus, since a decrease in the number of BrdU-positive cells after purvalanol A treatment has been observed.
