PF-03814735
Detailed Description
PF PF-03814735 is a novel, potent, orally bioavailable, reversible small-molecule Aurora kinase inhibitor with IC50 of 0.8, 5, 10 and 22 nM for Aurora 1, Aurora 2, Flt 1 and FAk, respectively. Aurora kinases are serine- threonine kinases that play essential roles in mitotic checkpoint control during mitosis. PF-03814735 possesses potential antineoplastic activity. Aurora kinase inhibitor PF-03814735 binds to and blocks Aurora kinases A and B, which may result in the prevention of cellular division and proliferation in tumor cells that overexpress these kinases. In intact cells, the preventive activity of PF-03814735 on the Aurora1 and Aurora2 kinases attenuates levels of phospho-Aurora1, phosphohistone H3, and phospho-Aurora2.
