Abstract

CDC25 dual-specificity phosphatases are essential key regulators of eukaryotic cell cycle progression and the CDC25A and B isoforms are over-expressed in different tumors and related cancer cell lines. CDC25s are now considered to be interesting targets in the search for novel anticancer agents. We describe new compounds derived from vitamin K3 that inhibit CDC25B activity with IC50 values in the low micromolar range. These ...
