Description
LY-2606368 is an inhibitor of checkpoint kinase (CHK) 1. CHK1 is involved in the regulation of cellular response to DNA damage. Inhibitors of CHK1 are being investigated as chemopotentiating agents because of CHK1’s role in establishing DNA damage checkpoints in the cell cycle. LY-2606368 has shown potential as a treatment for squamous cell carcinoma, neuroblastoma, and small-cell lung cancer when used in conjunction with other drugs.
