摘要: This chapter describes the potential use of flavopiridol, a CDK inhibitor with anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activities, in treatment various chronic diseases. Flavopiridol arrests cell cycle progression G1 or G2 phase by inhibiting kinase activities CDK1, CDK2, CDK4/6, CDK7. Additionally, it binds tightly to CDK9, component P-TEFb complex (CDK9/cyclin T), interferes RNA polymerase II activation associated transcription. turn inhibits expression several pro-survival anti-apoptotic genes, enhances cytotoxicity transformed cells differentiation growth-arrested cells. Recent studies indicate that flavopiridol elicits activity via CDK9 NFκB-dependent signaling. Overall, these effects potentiate its ability overcome aberrant and/or inflammatory stimuli, which are mediators
