| Bioactivity | 3MB-PP1, a bulky purine analog, is a Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) inhibitor. 3MB-PP1 blocks mitotic progression and cell division arise through target Plk1 in in cells expressing analog-sensitive Plk1 alleles. 3MB-PP1 specifically inhibits the activity of analog-sensitive Ssn3 (Cdk8). 3MB-PP1 inhibits Leu93 Mutant Zipper-interacting protein kinase (Leu93-ZIPK; IC50=2 μM). 3MB-PP1 can be used for the research of hypha formation of Candida albicans and cell division[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
