General description

A cell-permeable halogenated benzimidazole compound that acts as a selective and ATP competitive inhibitor of casein kinase II (CK2, Ki = 70 nM for the active hetero-tetrameric form). However, its effect on free CK2a and CK2a′ subunits is significantly reduced (Ki = 510 and 400 nM, respectively). Reported to reduce viability and proliferation in HeLa, Jurkat, and HL-60 cells (at ˜25 µM). Also shown to disrupt the promoter activity of CYP24A1 and down-regulates its endogenous and 1, 25-Vitamin D3 (1,25-D3)-induced expression in PC3 cells. Synergistically enhances the anti-tumor effect of 1, 25-D3 in a PC3 xenograft murine model.
