- Product Overview:
The kinesin-like spindle protein Eg5 (also known as kinesin-5, kinesin family protein 11, or Kif11) is a motor protein that is essential for establishing a bipolar spindle during mitosis both in normal and tumor cells.{22151} Ispinesib is a cell-permeable, allosteric inhibitor of Eg5 (Ki app = 2.3 nM) with >10,000-fold selectivity for Eg5 over a range of other mitotic kinesins.{29618,29621} It induces a monopolar spindle phenotype, leading to the activation of a spindle assembly checkpoint, mitotic arrest, and subsequent cell death (GI50s = 22-82 nM in colon, pancreas, prostrate, and lung cancer cells in vitro).{22151} At 10 mg/kg, ispinesib produces tumor regression of breast cancer cell xenografts in mice.{29619} It has also been used to halt the growth of treatment-resistant glioblastoma tumor-initiating cells, to prevent tumor initiation and self-renewal of a cancer stem cell population (EC50 = 1.15 nM), and to reduce glioma cell invasion.{29620}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
