Other available information on the probe :
Synthetic derivatives from molecules initially isolated from various marine invertebrates. New CDK inhibitory scaffold, with promising antitumor activity.
This probes is a member of a serie of derivatives including (R is the methoxy group in Meriolin 3): Meriolin 1: R=H, Meriolin 2: R=OH, Meriolin 3: R=OMe, Meriolin 4: R= OEt)
Other information on the target :
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are critical regulatory enzymes that drive all cell cycle transitions, and their activity is under stringent control to ensure successful cell division.
Selectivity profile :
Meriolin 3 inhibits the kinase activity of CDK9/cyclin T, CDK2/cyclin A, CDK1/cyclin B, CDK5/p25 (IC50 = 6, 11, 170, 170 nM, respectively), DYRK1A, CKIdelta/epsilon, GSK-3alpha/ß (IC50 = 29, 200, and 230 nM, respectively), as well as CDK3/cyclin E, CDK4/cyclin D1, CDK6/cyclin D1, CDK7/cyclin H, and FLT3 (IC50<400 nM), while showing much reduced activity agasint 21 other kinases (IC50 >1 µM).
In vivo data :
Shown to effectively retard LS174T-derived tumor growth in mice in vivo (1 to 5 mg/kg/day, i.p.)
Meriolin 3 potently inhibits tumor growth in two mouse xenograft cancer models, namely, Ewing's sarcoma and LS174T colorectal carcinoma [Cancer Res 2007;67(17):8325-34].
In vitro data :
Shown to effectively inhibit cellular CDK substrates phosphorylation and induce apoptosis in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cultures (Effective conc. 0.3 to 1 µM) in vitro. Cell viability tests reveal that Meriolin 3 selectively affects the viability of a panel of 8 cancer lines (IC50<380 nM) in comparison to normal human foreskin fibroblasts (IC50 = 8 µM)
Cell line
Meriolin 3 was tested at various concentrations for its effects on nine different cell lines. Cell survival was estimated 48 h after the addition of meriolin 3 using the MTS reduction assay. IC50 values (average of triplicate values) are reported in micromoles per liter.
