cdki-83

CDKI-83 is a potent CDK9 inhibitor. The compound shows effective anti-proliferative activity in human tumour cell lines with GI50 <1 μM, and is capable of inducing apoptosis in A2780 human ovarian cancer cells as determined by the activated caspase-3, Annexin V PI double staining and accumulated cells at the sub-G1 phase of cellcycle. The research results suggest that combined inhibition of CDK9 and CDK1 may result in the effective induction of apoptosis and CDKI-83 has the potential to be developed as an anti-cancer agent.

Metaxalone-d6 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of metaxalone by GC-or LC-MS. Metaxalone is a skeletal muscle relaxant. It inhibits the proliferation of, and induces apoptosis in, RAW 264.7 cells in vitro when used at concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 µM. Metaxalone also reduces LPS-induced increases in COX-1, COX-2, and NF-kB levels and inhibits LPS-induced production of TNF-α, IL-6, and prostaglandin E2 in RAW 264.7 cells. Formulations containing metaxalone have been used in the treatment of lower back pain.
