Description:
IC50: 0.6 and 0.5 nM forCdk1/cyclin B and Cdk2/cyclin A, respectively

Cdk1/2 Inhibitor III is a Cdk inhibitor.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family members of serine-threonine protein kinases responsible for regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle. Their timed activation guides cells via the cell cycle and ensures the accurate execution of cell division.

In vitro: Cdk1/2 Inhibitor III was identified as a cell-permeable inhibitor of Cdk1/cyclin B and Cdk2/cyclin A and could less potently inhibit CDC2-like kinases 1 and 3, VEGFR2, and GSK-3β. Cdk1/2 Inhibitor III was found to be lack of effect against a panel of other kinases. Moreover, Cdk1/2 Inhibitor III could block the growth of various cancer cell lines (IC50

    Rituximab, a chimeric human and murine monoclonal antibody, targets the CD20 antigen expressed on pre-B cells and mature B-lymphocytes [55]. The antibody was originally developed for the treatment of B-cell lymphoma [56]. Recently, it has been administered for treating different autoimmune disease. As rituximab is an IgG1 subclass antibody, it crosses the placenta, interfering with fetal and neonatal B cell development and could lead to immune deficiency and raise susceptibility to infections in the neonate [57].…

    T cells also have effect on Natalizumab in patients with multiple sclerosis. Natalizumab is a monoclonal antibody that reduces the formation of acute lesions in the central nervous system. Bornsen et. al revealed the influence that natalizumab has on circulating CD4+ T cells in multiple sclerosis. The recurrence of multiple sclerosis happens when there are abnormalities in activated macrophages, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the central nervous system.…

    Adalimumab is a monoclonal antibody, so it is highly specific. As mentioned above, it specifically binds to TNF alpha (tumor necrosis factor alpha). TNF alpha is a signaling protein, a cytokine, which is involved in the normal inflammatory response as part of the immune system. For people who suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis for example, there is an increased level of TNF alpha in the synovial fluid between the joints. This is harmful because it causes excess inflammation and pain ultimately causing destruction of the joint.…

    Sorafenib: Sorafenib is used as targeted therapy for those patients affected by papillary thyroid cancer or medullary thyroid cancer. In a phase III trial, patients were subjected to a double blind, randomized experiment, in which patients were effectively treated with surgery or RAI previously. However, these eligible patients had distant metastatic sites, and were RAI-refractory, which are remnants of cancerous tumors found elsewhere in the body that were not treated in their previous treatments. Sorafenib is an oral kinase inhibitor of VEGF receptor, RET (includes RET/PTC fusion oncogene), and RAF (includes the BRAF V600E mutation).…

    Rituximab

    • 604 Words

    For the purpose of this discussion topic paper, I reviewed the article Rituximab as a treatment for severe atopic eczema: failure to improve in three consecutive patients. The article discussed the study of three consecutive patients with severe atopic eczema (red, itchy skin) that they treated with rituximab infusions, but the infusions failed to improve the condition. The article also mentions three other case studies that varied in results. Considering the small sample used in the main study of this article and the contradicting findings of other sited studies, I do not find that the main study, alone, is an adequate one to draw any type of final conclusion about whether or not rituximab is a successful method of treatment for severe atopic eczema.…

    It was performed multiple times on each tumor at different parts of the tumors using FISH technology. This technology used a specific stain to fluoresce the cyclin D1 gene in one color (pink) and the centromeres of chromosomes as another color (green). Cyclin D1 amplification was present when there was a large amount of pink stain when compared to the amount of green stain, and was not present when the two quantities of the colors were relatively equal. As a result, there was only about 21% of the cancers that showed cyclin D1 amplification. It is thought that cyclin D1 amplification is an early event in the development of breast cancer due to the results concluding that the degree of amplification is highly…

    Rituximab Research Paper

    Rituximab is an antibody that is primarily found on the surface of B cells in the immune system. It destroys B cells and thus is used to treat diseases that are characterized by B cell disorders e.g. overactive B cells, excessive numbers of B cells, or dysfunctional B cells. Rituximab use has been associated with increased risk of hepatitis B virus reactivation in patients who are negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and positive for anti-hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc). The authors of this study aim to clarify the risk of HBV reactivation in a cohort of HBsAg-negative/anti-HBc-positive patients treated with rituximab-containing combination chemotherapy without concomitant antiviral prophylaxis and to identify possible risk factors for HBV reactivation in the patients.…

    The naked mole rat and the blind mole rat have developed unique anti-cancer mechanisms compared to other mammals. Mammals typically have several methods, such as inducing apoptosis, releasing cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (bound to CDK complexes) which signal cells to stop within a stage of the cell cycle, and contact inhibition in which cells stop growing once they make contact with each other. These mole rats’ distinct mechanisms modify contact inhibition and apoptosis to achieve the mole rats’ cancer resistance and longevity (Seluanov, et.al., 2009; Gorbunova, et.al., 2012). The anti-cancer mechanism that the naked mole rat is the use of two types of contact inhibition.…

    Movement of cells are important since some cells depends on movement to carry out its major function. For example, sperm cells need to move from one place to another place to carry out reproduction. Movement of cells are supported by cytoskeleton system of the cells. The cyctoskeleton system are composed of microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments. However, for unicellular organisms such as Paramecium, the movement of cells are regulated through cilia or flagella.…

    State of the Problem In its variety of forms, cancer is estimated to affect more than 14 million people per year, and is the cause the death of more than 8 million (National Cancer Institute). Despite millions of dollars of research in the field, and a concentrated effort by researchers around the globe, a panacea for cancer doesn’t exist, although much headway has been made in earlier detection and better treatment methods. Much of the difficulty in treating the disease lies in its diversity; cancer is as varied as it is deadly.…
