Cdc7-IN-1 is a highly selective and ATP competitive inhibitor of Cdc7 kinase (IC50: 0.6 nM at 1 mM ATP). It potently inhibits Cdc7 activity in cancer cells and effectively induces cell death.
(S)-Cdc7-IN-18, a potent CDC7 inhibitor, effectively impedes the overactivation of MCM2, a crucial tumor cell marker, induced by huCdc7 overexpression. Consequently, it inhibits the aberrant proliferation of tumor cells. This compound, exhibits promise for cancer disease research [1].
