Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Purvalanol B is a selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), particularly CDK1, CDK2, and CDK5, with reported IC₅₀ values of 6 nM for CDK2/cyclin A, 10 nM for CDK1/cyclin B, and 80 nM for CDK5/p35 in enzymatic assays. It exhibits antiproliferative effects in various cancer cell lines by inducing G₂/M phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. For example, in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, Purvalanol B significantly reduced cell viability with an EC₅₀ in the low micromolar range (~2–5 µM). The compound has been used as a tool compound to study CDK-regulated transcription and cell cycle progression. Its enhanced potency and selectivity over related inhibitors make it a valuable agent for probing CDK-related pathways in cancer biology.
