XMD8-92 is a dimethylpyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]benzodiazepin-6-one carrying at C-2 on the pyrimidine ring a [2-ethoxy-4-(4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl)phenyl]amino substituent. It is an inhibitor of the BMK1 kinase pathway. It has a role as a protein kinase inhibitor.
使用XMD 8-92, is a BMK1 inhibitor and a highly selective inhibitor of ERK5 activity. XMD8-92 blocks cellular BMK1 activation and significantly suppresses tumor growth in lung and cervical tumor models and is well tolerated in animals.
