Alsterpaullone (also known as 9-Nitropaullone and NSC-705701; NSC 705701) is a novel and potent ATP-competitive cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) inhibitor with IC50s of 35 nM, 15 nM, 200 nM and 40 nM for CDK1/cyclin B, CDK2/cyclin A, CDK2/cyclin E and CDK5/p35, respectively. Moreover, Alsterpaullone (9-Nitropaullone; NSC 705701) faces competition from ATP in the 4 nM IC50 range for binding to glycogen synthase kinase-3 alpha/beta (GSK-3alpha/GSK-3beta). In addition to having antitumor activity, alsterpaullone (9-Nitropaullone; NSC 705701) may be used to treat proliferative and neurodegenerative diseases. Alsterpaullone causes a disruption in the potential of the mitochondrial membrane, which activates caspase-9 and causes apoptosis. Alsterpaullone's Apoptosis-Inducing Effect mediated toxicity in HeLa cells.
| Targets |
Cdk1/cyclin B (IC50 = 35 nM); cdk2/cyclin A (IC50 = 15 nM); CDK2/Cyc E (IC50 = 200 nM); CDK5/p35 (IC50 = 40 nM); GSK-3α (IC50 = 4 nM); GSK-3β (IC50 = 4 nM)
Alsterpaullone is identified as a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor. The literature mentions it as a potent inhibitor of CDK1/cyclin B and CDK5,. |

| ln Vitro |
Alsterpaullone (0.3, 1, 3 μM; 8 hours) causes leukemia cell lines to undergo apoptosis[2]
Alsterpaullone (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 μM; 48 and 72 hours) inhibits HeLa cell growth in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Additionally, alsterpaullone treatment inhibits cell growth in a time-dependent manner[3]. Alsterpaullone (20 μM) depends on caspase activity to cause cell death[3]. Alsterpaullone reduced cell proliferation in Group 3 medulloblastoma cell lines (D425 and D458) with efficacy observed at 1 µM after 48 hours of treatment, as measured by MTS assay. It showed little effect on the proliferation of normal human fetal neural stem cells (hf5281) even at 10 µM, indicating potential selectivity for tumor cells. Western blot analysis demonstrated that Alsterpaullone induced apoptosis, evidenced by PARP cleavage in D425 and D458 cells after 48 hours of treatment. It also inhibited AKT pathway activation, shown by decreased levels of phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT) in treated cells. Genomic profiling of treated cells revealed that Alsterpaullone downregulated genes involved in the cell cycle, including the oncogene MYC. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis confirmed that the top downregulated gene sets were cell cycle-related. Querying the Connectivity Map with the gene expression profile of Alsterpaullone-treated cells yielded a high positive enrichment score (0.995), indicating its ability to reverse the Group 3 medulloblastoma gene signature. |
| ln Vivo |
Alsterpaullone (30 mg/kg, s.c., daily for 2 weeks) decreases tumor growth and improves xenograft survival for medulloblastoma[4].
In an orthotopic xenograft model using D458 cells expressing luciferase implanted in the cerebellum of nude mice, treatment with Alsterpaullone (30 mg/kg, administered subcutaneously daily for 2 weeks) significantly reduced tumor growth compared to vehicle control, as monitored by bioluminescence imaging. Treatment with Alsterpaullone also significantly increased survival in mice bearing D458 xenografts. In a separate xenograft model using D425 cells, Alsterpaullone treatment similarly increased survival and reduced tumor growth, as confirmed by histological examination (H&E staining). |
| Enzyme Assay |
GSK-3β activity was assayed using the GS-1 peptide as substrate in buffer A containing 15 µM ATP. The reaction was performed at 30°C for 30 minutes, and phosphorylation was measured by spotting aliquots onto phosphocellulose paper, followed by washing and scintillation counting.
CDK1/cyclin B and CDK5/p25 activities were assayed using histone H1 as substrate in buffer C with 15 µM ATP. Reactions were run for 10 minutes at 30°C, and incorporation of radiolabeled phosphate was measured similarly using phosphocellulose paper. Kinetic studies for ATP competition were performed with varying ATP concentrations (0.5–2.5 µM) and constant GS-1 peptide, followed by linear regression analysis of double-reciprocal plots. [1] |
| Cell Assay |
Cell Line: HeLa cells
Concentration: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 μM Incubation Time: 48 and 72 hours Result: The growth of HeLa cells was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner for 48 h and 72 h ranging from 0 to 30 μM. For cell proliferation assays, D425 and D458 medulloblastoma cells were grown in suspension and seeded in 96-well plates at 10,000 cells per well. Normal human fetal neural stem cells (hf5281) were grown adherently and seeded at 4,000-5,000 cells per well. Cells were treated with various concentrations of Alsterpaullone or DMSO control for 48 hours. Cell viability was determined using the MTS assay, and absorbance was measured at 490 nm. For Western blot analysis, cells were treated with compounds for 48 hours, lysed, and proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes, and probed with antibodies against PARP, AKT, phospho-AKT (Ser473), and α-tubulin. For gene expression analysis, cells were treated with 5 µM Alsterpaullone for 48 hours, RNA was isolated, and profiling was performed using Human PrimeView Arrays. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis was conducted using various pathway databases. |
| Animal Protocol |
5-6 week old athymic nude mice[4]
30 mg/kg Subcutaneous injections, daily for 2 weeks Athymic nude mice (5-6 weeks old) were used. Medulloblastoma cells (250,000 D425 or D458 cells) were implanted into the right cerebellum of each mouse. Six days after inoculation, animals were randomized into treatment groups. Alsterpaullone was dissolved in vehicle (10% DMSO) and administered via subcutaneous injection at a dose of 30 mg/kg daily for 2 weeks. For D458-luciferase xenografts, tumor growth was monitored weekly using bioluminescence imaging. Animals showing progressive neurological signs or weight loss exceeding 20% were euthanized, and brains were harvested for analysis. |

| Additional Infomation |
Asterpaullone is an organic heterotetracyclic compound, chemically named 1,3-dihydro-2H-1-benzozazepine-2-one, with its 4-5 bond linked to the 3-2 bond of 5-nitro-1H-indole. It possesses diverse activities, including as an inhibitor of EC 2.7.11.22 (cyclin-dependent kinase), EC 2.7.11.1 (non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase), EC 2.7.11.26 (tau protein kinase), an antitumor drug, an apoptosis inducer, and an anti-HIV-1 drug. It is a C-nitro compound, belonging to the organic heterotetracyclic class of compounds and caprolactams. Functionally, it is associated with a paullone. Alsterpaullone was identified as a preferred candidate drug for three groups of medulloblastomas through C-MAP analysis based on gene expression characteristics. These three groups of medulloblastomas are characterized by MYC amplification and poor prognosis. The mechanism of action of Alsterpaullone involves CDK inhibition (particularly CDK1 and CDK5), leading to cell cycle arrest, downregulation of MYC and other cell cycle genes, induction of apoptosis, and inhibition of the AKT pathway. This study provides preclinical evidence to advance Alsterpaullone as a targeted therapy for three groups of medulloblastomas.
