S-trityl-L-Cysteine is a non-natural amino acid and an inhibitor of Eg5, also known as KSP and Kif11, a mitotic kinesin necessary for mitotic spindle formation. S-trityl-L-Cysteine inhibits the ATPase activity of Eg5 in basal and microtubule-stimulated states (IC50s = 1,000 and 140 nM, respectively). It is selective...

S-Trityl-L-cysteine (STLC) is an organosulfur compound naturally produced in garlic plants. STLC exhibits anticancer and potential chemotherapeutic activities across several models. STLC acts as a mitotic inhibitor, inhibiting mitotic kinesin Eg5 and preventing separation of duplicated chromosomes and formation of...
