Wee1 Inhibitor is a pyrrolocarbazole compound that acts as a potent, ATP-binding site-targeting inhibitor of Wee1 (IC50 = 11 nM) in an ATP-competitive manner and displays ~40-fold selectivity over the related checkpoint kinase Chk1 (IC50 = 440 nM). Wee1 is a protein kinase involved in cell cycle regulation, particularly in the control of the G2-M checkpoint. By inhibiting Wee1, these inhibitors can interfere with the normal cell cycle progression and promote cell cycle arrest or induce premature entry into mitosis. This disruption of the cell cycle can have various effects on cell proliferation. Wee1 Inhibitor has been investigated as a potential anticancer agent due to its ability to induce DNA damage and promote cell death in cancer cells. It also inhibits the ATPase activity of LptB, an enzyme involved in the transport and assembly of LPS (IC50 = 25 µM for the E. coli enzyme).
