Target gene or protein CK2
Gene or Protein evidence Finally, molecular dynamic studies were performed to clarify the ligand binding mode of bikaverin at the ATP binding site of CK2 and to identify the amino acids involved.
Target pathways NA
IC50 By further in vitro evaluation using CK2 holoenzyme, bikaverin turned to be a potent inhibitor with an IC50 value of 1.24 µM.
Potency Cell viability and cell proliferation were reduced dramatically after treatment with 10 µM bikaverin for 24 h
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7, A427, A431
