PHA-680632 is potent inhibitor of Aurora A, Aurora B and Aurora C with IC50 of 27 nM, 135 nM and 120 nM, respectively. It has 10- to 200-fold higher IC50 for FGFR1, FLT3, LCK, PLK1, STLK2, and VEGFR2/3.

Aurora C:120 nM, Aurora A:27 nM, Aurora B:135 nM

Aurora Kinase Inhibition Assay: Inhibition of kinase activity by PHA-680632 is assessed using a scintillation proximity assay format. The biotinylated substrate is transphosphorylated by the kinase in presence of ATP traced with γ33-ATP. The phosphorylated substrate is then captured using streptavidin-coated scintillation proximity assay beads and the extent of phosphorylation is evaluated by β-counter after a 4-hour rest for the floatation of the beads on a dense 5 M CsCl solution. In particular, a peptide derived from the Chocktide sequence (LRRWSLGL) is used as substrate for Aurora A, whereas the optimized peptide Auroratide is employed for Aurora B and C. The assay is run in a robotized format on 96-well plates. The potency of the compound toward Aurora kinases is evaluated and IC50 values are determined.

Cells (5 × 103 to 1.5 × 104 per cm2) are seeded in 24-well plate. After 24 hours, plates are treated with PHA-680632 and incubated for 72 hours. At the end of incubation time, cells are detached from each plate and counted using a cell counter. IC50s are calculated using percentage of growth versus untreated cont(Only for Reference)
