Roscovitine
Roscovitine is an inhibitor of CDKs (1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 12) and L-type Ca2+ channels; it exhibits anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. Roscovitine resolves neutrophil-driven inflammation. In B-cell lymphoma cells, roscovitine induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis and inhibits proliferation.
