Dimethylenastron is a inhibitor of mitotic motor kinesin Eg5 (IC50 = 200 nM). Arrests mitosis, triggers apoptosis and up-regulates Hsp-70 expression in multiple human myeloma cell lines. Also inhibits the growth of several types of cancer cell lines (EC50 values are 330, 603, 743 and 881 nM in HCT116, Htert-HME1, BxPC3, K562 and NCI-H1299 cancer cells, respectively). Suppresses the migration and invasion of PANC1 cells in vitro. Cytoprotective.

| 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.

| BRD9876
BRD9876 is the “rigor” inhibitor that locks kinesin-5 (Eg5) in a state with enhanced microtubules (MTs) binding, leading to bundling and stabilization of MTs. BRD9876 interacts with the tyrosine 104 residue that is part of the α4-α6 allosteric binding pocket. BRD9876 specifically targets microtubule-bound Eg5 and selectively inhibits myeloma over CD34 cells. BRD9876 has the potential for multiple myeloma (MM) research. |
