Description |
ZM-447439 is an aurora kinase inhibitor with IC50s of 110 and 130 nM for aurora A and B, respectively.
|
Target |
Aurora A:110 nM (IC50)
Aurora B:130 nM (IC50)

In Vitro |
Cells treated with ZM-447439 progress through interphase, enter mitosis normally, and assemble bipolar spindles. However, chromosome alignment, segregation, and cytokinesis all fail. ZM-447439 inhibits cell division and inhibit mitotic phosphorylation of histone H3. ZM-447439 prevents chromosome alignment and segregation. ZM-447439 compromises spindle checkpoint function. ZM-447439 inhibits kinetochore localization of BubR1, Mad2, and Cenp-E[1]. Inhibition of Aurora kinase by ZM-447439 reduces histone H3 phosphorylation at Ser10 in Hep2 carcinoma cells. Multipolar spindles are induced in these ZM-treated G2/M-arrested cells with accumulation of 4N/8N DNA, similar to cells with genetically suppressed Aurora-B. ZM-447439 treatment induces cell apoptosis. ZM-447439 inhibition of Aurora kinase is potently in association with decrease of Akt phosphorylation at Ser473 and its substrates GSK3α/β phosphorylation at Ser21 and Ser9[2].

Cell Assay |
To determine cloning efficiency, MCF7 cells are plated in phenol red free DME plus 5% stripped serum, and are then treated with or without the anti-estrogen ICI 182780 at 1 μM for 48 h. ZM-447439 is then added at the indicated concentrations for 72 h. The cells are harvested, washed, and ∼400 cells plated in each well of a 6-well plate in complete media without ZM-447439. After 10 d, the colonies are fixed, stained with crystal violet, and counted. The cloning efficiency represents the number of colonies on ZM-447439-treated plates compared with DMSO-treated controls[1].
