    In Cell Selectivity Assessment
    Potency Assay Off-Target:
    RNA-seq analysis in SH-SY5Y cells to identify both differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differe ...
    Selectivity Assessment Description:
    At three times its IC50, BIO-6553 (23) significantly regulated 11 additional genes and induced 23 sp ...
    In Vitro Selectivity Assessment
    Potency Assay Off-Target:
    Kinase off-targets of 23 were evaluated at 1 μM in a broad kinome panel (Eurofins: 468 kinases).
