Nek6 Inhibitors

NIMA-related kinases (NEKs) are a family of serine/threonine kinases that play key roles in various aspects of cell cycle regulation and cellular division processes. NEKs are involved in critical checkpoints and transitions during the cell cycle, particularly in mitosis and meiosis. They function by phosphorylating a range of substrates, thereby regulating processes such as centrosome separation, spindle assembly, and chromosome segregation. NEKs also respond to cellular stress and are involved in the DNA damage response pathway, ensuring genomic integrity. The dysregulation of NEK signaling is implicated in various diseases, including cancer, due to its role in controlling cell proliferation and division. Targeting NIMA-related kinases (NEKs) for disruption or inhibition is a significant area of interest, particularly in cancer research, due to their role in cell cycle regulation. Small molecule inhibitors have been developed to selectively target NEKs, aiming to disrupt their kinase activity and thus impede aberrant cell division. These inhibitors, by blocking NEK activity, can induce cell cycle arrest and lead to apoptosis in rapidly dividing cells. Such an approach is particularly relevant for cancer therapies, where the goal is to selectively target and inhibit the proliferation of cancerous cells.

VEGFR2 Kinase Inhibitor III

204005-46-9sc-202851
5 mg
$165.00
7
(1)

SU9516 is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, which by affecting CDK2, can indirectly modulate NIMA-related kinase activity. Since NIMA-related kinase is involved in centrosome separation, which is tightly coordinated with the cell cycle, inhibition of CDK2 leads to cell cycle arrest, thereby affecting NIMA-related kinase′s role in mitosis.

Purvalanol B

sc-361300A
10 mg
50 mg
$199.00
$846.00
(1)

Purvalanol A, a selective CDK inhibitor, particularly targeting CDK1, CDK2, and CDK5, can indirectly lead to the inhibition of NIMA-related kinase by disrupting the cell cycle progression and consequently mitotic processes where NIMA-related kinase is key.

Dinaciclib

sc-364483A
5 mg
25 mg

Targeting multiple CDKs, dinaciclib can impair cell cycle progression, influencing the activation of NIMA-related kinase, as its kinase activity is cell cycle-dependent, peaking in the G2/M phase.

SNS-032

SNS-032 is a potent and selective inhibitor of CDKs 2, 7 and 9. It affects transcription and cell cycle regulation, which can impact the regulation and function of NIMA-related kinase indirectly.

Tozasertib

Tozasertib is an Aurora kinase inhibitor. Since Aurora A kinase can phosphorylate NIMA-related kinase, its inhibition can reduce NIMA-related kinase activity indirectly by preventing its phosphorylation and activation.

MLN8237

1028486-01-2sc-394162
5 mg
$220.00
(0)

Alisertib, an inhibitor of Aurora A kinase, can affect NIMA-related kinase indirectly by altering the phosphorylation state of proteins that are involved in centrosome duplication and separation, processes regulated by NIMA-related kinase.

S-Trityl-L-cysteine

As a selective inhibitor of the kinesin Eg5, S-trityl-L-cysteine disrupts mitotic spindle formation. Since NIMA-related kinase regulates centrosomal cohesion, disrupting spindle dynamics can indirectly affect NIMA-related kinase's functional role.

ZM447439 is an Aurora kinase inhibitor, with activity against both Aurora A and B. Inhibition of these kinases can disturb the phosphorylation state of proteins associated with NIMA-related kinase function.

Hesperadin

Hesperadin inhibits Aurora B kinase, which is involved in chromosome alignment and segregation, processes that are also regulated by NIMA-related kinase, suggesting an indirect inhibition.
