Evidence demonstrating
its cytostatic activity includes the finding that it inhibits the growth of a broad spectrum of human tumor cell lines in vitro.
Flavopiridol should exert
cytostatic activity because of the pivotal role of the cdks in the cell division cycle.
Not exact matches
Flavopiridol inhibits several cellular kinases and has demonstrated
cytostatic and cytotoxic
activity in vitro and in vivo in numerous human tumor cell lines and xenograft models (including human breast, prostate, and lung carcinoma) at clinically achievable concentrations.
At low
cytostatic concentrations, ActD causes ribosomal stress, which decreases MDM2
activity, resulting in p53 stabilization and activation.
Further, at a low
cytostatic concentration (2 nM), ActD causes ribosomal stress leading to a decrease in HDM2
activity and thereby p53 stabilization and activation.
It has long been known that antibiotics suppress various immune functions, and especially macrophage
activities such as chemiluminescence response, chemotactic motility, bactericidal and
cytostatic ability and similar negative effects have also been seen with other commonly used drugs such as H2 - blockers, proton inhibitors and surface - protection agents.
