    7-Hydroxystaurosporine

    Definition 1

    A synthetic derivative of staurosporine with antineoplastic activity. 7-hydroxystaurosporine inhibits many phosphokinases, including the serine/threonine kinase AKT, calcium-dependent protein kinase C, and cyclin-dependent kinases. This agent arrests tumor cells in the G1/S of the cell cycle and prevents nucleotide excision repair by inhibiting the G2 checkpoint kinase chk1, resulting in apoptosis. (NCI Thesaurus)

    Definition 2

    An anticancer drug that belongs to the family of drugs called staurosporine analogues. (NCI Dictionary)
