In vitro
MLN8054 is an ATP-competitive, reversible inhibitor of recombinant Aurora A kinase with an IC50 of 4 nM, which shows >40-fold more selective inhibitory activity for Aurora A compared with Aurora B. In vitro, MLN8054 exhibits the activity of growth inhibition across various cell lines from diverse tissue origins with IC50 values ranging from 0.11 μM to 1.43 μM. In addition, MLN8054 selectively inhibits Aurora A over Aurora B in cultured cells, and inhibits cell proliferation by promoting G2/M accumulation and spindle defects in multiple cultured human tumor cells lines. A recent study shows that MLN8054 sensitizes androgen-resistant prostate cancer to radiation by inhibiting Aurora A kinase, which is associated with sustained DNA double-strand breaks.
In vivo
In the HCT-116 tumor-bearing mice, MLN8054, administered orally at 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, and 30 mg/kg once a day, leads to dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition (TGI: 76% and 84% for 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg). MLN8054 also shows similar antitumor activity in the PC-3 tumor xenograft in nude mice. In the HCT-116 xenograft-bearing animals, MLN8054 induces DNA and tubulin staining of tumor tissue in nuclear and cell body area, consistent with a senescent phenotype by increasing senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity.
