5,6-Dichlorobenzimidazole riboside

5,6-Dichlorobenzimidazole riboside (DRB) is a nucleoside analog that inhibits several carboxyl-terminal domain kinases, including casein kinase II and cell cycle-dependent kinases (CDK). 5, 6-dichlorobenzimidazole riboside has antitumor activity. 5, 6-dichlorobenzimidazole riboside can induce apoptosis[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
