General description

Kinetin riboside is a ribosylated form of kinetin. It is a natural cytokinin plant hormone.

Application

Kinetin riboside may be used:
  • to study its cytotoxic effects on plant and animal tumor cells
  • to investigate its apoptotic effects in both cancer and immortalized cells
  • to elucidate its influence on human prostate cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition in vitro

Biochem/physiol Actions

Kinetin riboside exhibits cytotoxic and antiproliferative activities. In addition, it also shows anticancer activity by inducing apoptosis in various types of cancers including myeloid leukemia cells, mouse melanoma B16F-10 cells, and plant tumor cells.
