Conduritol B epoxide (CBE) is an irreversible inhibitor of glucocerebrosidase, also known as acid β-glucosidase, glucosylceramidase, GBA, or GBA1 (IC50 = 9 μM).{25307,25308} Inhibition of this lysosomal glucosidase results in the accumulation of glucocerebroside without affecting cell viability, lysosomal enzyme release, or the activity of intracellular enzymes.{25309} It also does not inhibit non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase or cytosolic β-glucosidase.{25306} As glucocerebrosidase deficiency results in Gaucher disease, a common lysosomal storage disorder that can involve defects in blood, bone, neurological, and liver development, CBE is used in in vitro and animal models of the disease.{25308,25306}

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of cell cycle progression and are therefore promising targets for cancer therapy. (R)-Roscovitine is a potent inhibitor of Cdk2/cyclin E with an IC50 value of 0.1 µM.{14988} It also inhibits Cdk7/cyclin H, Cdk5/p35, and cell division cycle (cdc)/cyclin B with IC50 values of 0.49, 0.16, and 0.65 µM, respectively.{14987,14988,14991} (R)-Roscovitine inhibits the growth of rapidly proliferating cells with an average IC50 value of 15.2 µM against a panel of 19 human tumor cell lines.{14988} In murine models of polycystic kidney disease, (R)-roscovitine effectively inhibited disease progression at doses of 50-100 mg/kg.{14564}

The PtdIn phosphates play an important role in the generation and transduction of intracellular signals.{8344,4096,14518} PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin is an affinity probe which allows the PIP3 to be detected through an interaction with the biotin ligand. This design allows PtdIns-(3,4,5)-P3-biotin to serve as a general probe for any protein with a high affinity binding interaction with inositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate phospholipids, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PTEN, or PH-domain-containing proteins.
