| Application: | Reversine has been used as a monopolar spindle 1 (Mps1) kinase inhibitor or mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) inhibitor: • to study the need of mitotic arrest for combretastatin A4 (CA4)-mediated cytotoxicity • to study the contribution of SAC activation to epstein-barr virus (EBV) replication • to induce chromosome mis-segregation |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Reversine is an A3 adenosine receptor antagonist, Aurora kinase inhibitor, and Mps1 kinase inhibitor. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Reversine was first described as a synthetic substituted purine with activity as a dedifferentiation agent; it was shown to induces differentiated lineage-committed cells to become multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Reversine has also been show to have activity as a potent, selective human A3 adenosine receptor antagonist (Ki value of 0.66 μM), as an ATP-competitive Aurora kinase inhibitor, and as a Mps1 kinase inhibitor. Additionally, studies have shown reversine to be an anti-cancer agent, inhibiting growth and inducing cell death in various cancer cell types. |
