Chemical Name: 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-thioxo-5-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid, ethyl ester
Kinesin Eg5 and mitosis inhibitor
Molecular Weight:
292.35
Purity:
98% by TLC NMR (Conforms)
Form:
Beige solid
CAS Number:
[254753-54-3]
Formula:
C14H16N2O3S
Application Notes:
Potent, cell-permeable, small molecule inhibitor of mitosis. Monastrol-arrested cells are characterized by monopolar spindles.1 Does not affect other motor proteins or tubulin. Specifically inhibits the mitotic molecular motor kinesin Eg5, a motor protein required for spindle formation (IC50 = 14 µM).2 Mimics the effect of amyloid beta on long term potentiation in a cellular model of learning and memory.3 Enhances regeneration of adult axons.4
