Monastrol

Description:

Monastrol is a small molecule inhibitor primarily known for its role in disrupting the function of kinesin-5, a motor protein involved in mitosis. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit cell division by interfering with the proper formation of the mitotic spindle, thereby preventing the correct segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Monastrol is often studied in the context of cancer research, as its mechanism of action can lead to the selective targeting of rapidly dividing cancer cells. The compound is typically described as a white to off-white solid, and it is soluble in organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Its chemical structure includes specific functional groups that contribute to its biological activity. Monastrol has been utilized in various experimental settings to explore the dynamics of cell division and the potential for therapeutic applications in oncology. As with many chemical substances, safety and handling precautions are essential when working with Monastrol in laboratory settings.
