CDK8 51.9 nM (IC50)
CDK8-IN-13 targets CDK8, a cyclin-dependent kinase that is part of the Mediator complex and regulates transcription. The compound inhibits CDK8 with an IC50 of 51.9 nM. By inhibiting CDK8, the compound decreases the expression of p-STAT1 S727 and p-STAT5 S726, which are downstream targets of CDK8-mediated phosphorylation. The compound induces apoptosis and shows antitumor activity. |

| ln Vitro |
In HCT-116 cells, CDK8-IN-13 (compound 43; 1, 2.5, 5, 10 µM; 12 h) dose-dependently decreases the expression of p-STAT1 S727 and p-STAT5 S726[1]. Apoptosis is induced by CDK8-IN -13 (0, 1, 5, 10 µM; 48 h) in a dose-dependent manner [1].
In vitro studies demonstrate that CDK8-IN-13 induces apoptosis and decreases the expression of p-STAT1 S727 and p-STAT5 S726. The compound inhibits CDK8 with an IC50 of 51.9 nM. It shows antitumor activity. CDK8-IN-13 has been widely used as a lead compound for analyzing binding modes with the CDK8 active site in molecular docking experiments. The compound is potent, selective, and orally active. |
| ln Vivo |
In mice, CDK8-IN-13 (40, 80 mg/kg; oral; for 15 days) dose-dependently suppresses the growth of tumors [1].

| Enzyme Assay |
The CDK8 inhibitory activity of CDK8-IN-13 can be assessed using in vitro kinase assays. In a typical assay, recombinant CDK8 kinase is incubated with a peptide substrate, ATP (including radiolabeled ³³P-ATP), and varying concentrations of CDK8-IN-13. The incorporation of phosphate into the substrate is measured, and the IC50 is calculated. The IC50 for CDK8 inhibition is 51.9 nM. Molecular docking experiments can be used to analyze binding modes with the CDK8 active site.
