Biological Activity:
Potent and selective inhibitor of Aurora A kinase (AurA), with IC50 values to be 3.4 nM (Aurora A) and unusually high selectivity 1000 fold against Aurora B; a useful tool compound for investigating the cellular role of Aurora A kinases.
This ligand has much higher selectivity of Aurora A vs Aurora B than another recently described relatively selective Aurora A inhibitor MLN8054, which shows 43-fold selectivity for Aurora A over Aurora B in enzymatic assays.
