CB 30900

Description

CB30900 is a novel, potent thymidylate synthase inhibitor. CB30900 is a TS inhibitor that does not rely on polyglutamation for activity. Greater than 90% TS inhibition was achieved following a 4-hr exposure to each compound at equitoxic doses (up to 100 times the IC50 determine by a 48-hr growth inhibition assay).

Uses

CB30900 is an inhibitor for thymidylate synthase with an IC50 of 0.2 μM. CB30900 exhibits cytotoxicity in W1L2 with an IC50 of 0.13 μM[1][2].
