(Rac)-Roscovitine ((Rac)-Seliciclib) is a selective cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) inhibitor. (Rac)-Roscovitine binds to the active sites of CDKs competitively with ATP, inhibiting the phosphorylation activity of CDKs. (Rac)-Roscovitine induces apoptosis in cancer cells. (Rac)-Roscovitine is promising for research of cancers or other diseases associated with CDK dysregulation, such as neurodegenerative diseases, cardiac disorders, viral and protozoan infections, glomerulonephritis, and chronic inflammation.
