Scytonemin

SKU: orb1738985

Description

Scytonemin is a cyanobacterial pigment and a potent, specific Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) inhibitor. It demonstrates anti-proliferative activity by inducing cell cycle arrest in various cancer cells, including multiple myeloma, as shown in in vitro studies. This makes it a valuable small molecule for oncology research targeting Plk1-dependent pathways.
