Uses

Ryuvidine is an antifungal agent used against pathogenic fungi.

Definition

ChEBI: 2-methyl-5-(4-methylanilino)-1,3-benzothiazole-4,7-dione is an aminotoluene.

General Description

A cell-permeable dioxobenzothiazole compound that acts a selective Cdk4 inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 6.0 μM for Cdk4/D1 and >200 μM for Cdk2/A). Exhibit better cytotoxic potential against cancer cells (IC₅₀ = 0.61, 1.08, 0.30, and 1.21 μg/ml against A 549, Col 1, HL-60, and HepG2 tumor cells, respectively) than Cisplatin (Cat. No. 232120).

Biological Activity

Cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) 4 inhibitor (IC 50 = 6.0 μ M at cdk4/cyclin D1) that displays > 33-fold selectivity over cdk2 (IC 50 > 200 μ M at cdk2/cyclin A). Cytotoxic against a range of human cancer cells (IC 50 values are 0.30, 0.61, 1.08 and 1.21 μ g/mL for HL-60, A549, Col 1 and HepG2 cells respectively).
