Description
Fascaplysin (114719-57-2) is a novel marine natural product isolated from?Thorectandra sp.1?A 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.2?Fascaplysin displays high cytotoxic activity against small cell lung cancer cell lines acting via multiple mechanisms including topoisomerase I, DNA integrity and ROS.3
