N-desmethyl Rosuvastatin is an active metabolite of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor rosuvastatin .1,2N-desmethyl Rosuvastatin is formed when rosuvastatin undergoes demethylation, primarily by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP2C9 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4.1 1.Macwan, J.S., Ionita, I.A., and Akhlaghi, F.A simple assay for the simultaneous determination of rosuvastatin acid, rosuvastatin-5S-lactone, and N-desmethyl rosuvastatin in human plasma using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)Anal.

Binucleine 2 is an isoform-specific and ATP-competitive inhibitor of Drosophila Aurora B kinase (Ki = 0.36 μM), a kinase involved in cell division. It is specific for Drosophila Aurora B kinase, inhibiting it in a dose-dependent manner, with minimal inhibition of human or X. laevis Aurora B kinases at concentrations up to 100 μM. Binucleine 2 induces mitotic and cytokinesis defects in Drosophila Kc167 cells. It prevents Drosophila S2 cells from assembling a contractile ring during cell division when used at a concentration of 40 μM but does not affect ring ingression, suggesting that Aurora B kinase activity is not required for that step.
