Description:

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

Alvocidib, also known as Flavoperidol, L868275 and HMR 1274, is a potent and selective CDK inhibitor with anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activities. Alvocidib may be useful in the treatment of various chronic diseases. Flavopiridol arrests cell cycle progression in the G1 or G2 phase by inhibiting the kinase activities of CDK1, CDK2, CDK4/6, and CDK7. Additionally, it binds tightly to CDK9, a component of the P-TEFb complex (CDK9/cyclin T), and interferes with RNA polymerase II activation and associated transcription. Flavopiridol elicits anti-inflammatory activity via CDK9 and NFκB-dependent signaling.

Product Data
Biological target:
Flavopiridol Hydrochloride (Alvocidib Hydrochloride) is a broad inhibitor of CDK, competing with ATP to inhibit CDKs including CDK1, CDK2, CDK4 with IC50s of 30, 170, 100 nM, respectively.
In vitro activity:
The proliferations of four CCA cell lines (KKU-055, KKU-100, KKU-213 and KKU-214) treated with flavopiridol (0, 50, 100, 200 and 300 nM) for 24, 48 and 72 h were analyzed by MTT assay. Flavopiridol potently inhibited proliferation in all CCA cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner (Fig. 1A). The half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of flavopiridol at different time points were in the 40–213 nM range, as shown in Table 1. Reference: Heliyon. 2019 May; 5(5): e01675. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6515137/
In vivo activity:
Alvocidib efficiently controlled tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner (Fig. 1). A dose of 5 mg/kg did not control tumor growth effectively, yet a dose of 10 mg/kg inhibited tumor growth. The SCID mice that received 10 mg/kg alvocidib showed a reduction in tumor growth by ∼50% compared with the control group.
