CAS#: 863774-58-7

Description: Dimethylenastron is an inhibitor of mitotic motor kinesin Eg5 (IC50 = 200 nM). Dimethylenastron suppresses human pancreatic cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro via allosteric inhibition of mitotic kinesin Eg5. The inhibition of kinesin Eg5 by small molecules such as monastrol is currently evaluated as an approach to develop a novel class of antiproliferative drugs for the treatment of malignant tumours.

More Info:

Product Data:
Biological target: Dimethylenastron is a potent kinesin Eg5 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 200 nM.
In vitro activity: Eg5 expression was 9-16-fold up-regulated in the 5 pancreatic cancer cell lines. Treatment of PANC1 pancreatic cancer cells with dimethylenastron (3 and 10 μmol/L) for 24 h suppressed the migratory ability of the cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Dimethylenastron inhibits the migration and invasion of PANC1 pancreatic cancer cells, independent of suppressing the cell proliferation. Reference: Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2011 Dec;32(12):1543-8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21986572/
In vivo activity: Dimethylenastron (1.0 µmol) induced a milder scarring compared with the control rabbit group but the length of bleb survival was not significantly prolonged (p = 0.053, Kaplan-Meier log rank test). Reference: Curr Eye Res. 2010 Dec;35(12):1090-8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20961218/
