Description
Fascaplysin (114719-57-2) is a novel marine natural product isolated fromThorectandra sp.1A potent and selective inhibitor of cyclin dependent kinase 4/cyclin D1 (IC50= 0.35 μM) and is less selective for Cdk6/D1 (IC50= 3.4 μM). Displays antiangiogenic acitivity.2Fascaplysin displays high cytotoxic activity against small cell lung cancer cell lines acting via multiple mechanisms including topoisomerase I, DNA integrity and ROS.3
