| Application: | Roscovitine has been used: • an inhibitor of p34cdc2/cyclin B kinase to preculture porcine oocytes • as a supplement in TCM199 medium for in vitro prematuration of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) of adult goats • in astrocyte conditioned media as an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) • as a CDK2 inhibitor in culture media to treat hESCs |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Roscovitine is a potent, selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Roscovitine is a purine derived inhibitor. It stimulates apoptosis in cancer cells. It has inhibitory action on mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) and M-phase promoting factor (MPF) kinase activity. Roscovitine is known to arrest meiosis and thus, prevent embryonic development. |
