Reversine, or 2-(4-morpholinoanilino)-6-cyclohexylaminopurine, is a small molecule developed by the group of Peter G. Schultz, used for stem cell dedifferentiation.[1][2]

It also has the potential to selectively induce cell death in cancer cells.[3]

Reversine is known to act as an

A3 receptor. Reversine is a potent inhibitor of the mitotic kinase Mps1[4] and it is widely used to study the process of chromosome segregation
