CHIR-98014
CHIR 98014 (CAS 252935-94-7) is a cell-permeable small molecule inhibitor, functioning as an inhibitor in kinase-related pathways and exhibiting potent inhibitory activity in various cellular targets. Additionally, it displays selectivity for specific kinase isoforms over other related kinases.
In experimental studies, CHIR 98014 inhibits kinase activity with an IC50 value of 0.65 nM and 0.58 nM, tested against purified kinase enzymes and relevant cell lines. Its action against cdc2 and related kinases is relatively weaker, indicating selectivity in its inhibitory profile. It can also suppress phosphorylation events downstream of its primary targets, thus modulating signal transduction pathways that are essential for cellular proliferation and differentiation.
In cell-based and biochemical assays, CHIR 98014 is widely used for the investigation of signaling pathways mediated by its target kinases. Researchers utilize this compound to study the effects of selective kinase inhibition on cellular processes such as cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and metabolic reprogramming. Its potency and selectivity make it a valuable tool for dissecting the roles of specific kinases in diverse biological contexts, providing insights into potential therapeutic strategies for diseases involving aberrant kinase activity.
