Indirubin is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor which functions by competing with ATP for binding to the catalytic subunit. Indirubin is used in traditional Chinese medicine for anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and neuroprotective effects. Indirubin inhibits glycogen synthase kinase-3 (IC50 = 2.5 μM) and cyclin-dependent kinases 1 and 5 (IC50 = 10 μM for both isoforms). Indirubin also inhibits CDK1/5 with IC50 of 10 μM and 5.5 μM. Indirubin exhibits antiproliferative activity leading to G2/M arrest in many cell lines and G1/S arrest in Jurkat cells. Indirubin induces cell cycle arrest and inhibits cell proliferation.

| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
