Ilorasertib hydrochloride (ABT-348 hydrochloride) is an ATP-competitive multitargeted kinase inhibitor, which inhibits Aurora C, Aurora B, and Aurora A (IC50s: 1 nM, 7 nM, 120 nM). It also suppresses RET tyrosine kinase, PDGFRβ, and Flt1 (IC50s: 7 nM, 3 nM, and 32 nM).
AZD 1152 is an orally bioavailable prodrug of AZD 1152-HQPA, a selective inhibitor of Aurora kinase B (IC50= 0.36 nM).1AZD 1152 is converted to AZD 1152-HQPA in plasma. Inhibition of Aurora B results in disruption of spindle checkpoint functions and chromosome alignment, resulting in inhibition of cytokinesis followed by apoptosis.2,3AZD 1152 inhibits tumor xenograft growthin vivo.4,5 1.Mortlock, A.A., Foote, K.M., Heron, N.M., et al.Discovery, synthesis, and in vivo activity of a new class of pyrazoloquinazolines as selective inhibitors of aurora B kinaseJ.

GSK2646264 (Compound 44) is a highly effective and specific inhibitor of spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) with a pIC50 of 7.1. In addition to targeting SYK, GSK2646264 also inhibits several other kinases, including LCK, LRRK2, GSK3β, JAK2, VEGFR2, Aurora B, and Aurora A, with pIC50 values of 5.4, 5.4, 5.3, 5, 4.5, <4.6 and <4.3, respectively. Notably, GSK2646264 demonstrates skin penetrability, reaching both the epidermis and dermis [1].
SAR156497 is an exquisitely selective Aurora A, B, and C inhibitor with in vitro and in vivo efficacy with IC50 = 0.5 nM (Aurora A); 1 nM (Aurora B incenp); 3 nM (Aurora C incenp) respectively SAR156497 combines high in vitro potency with satisfactory metabolic stability and limited CYP 3A4 and PDE3 inhibition. In vitro, SAR156497 displayed high antiproliferative activity on a large panel of tumor cell lines without correlation with any particular genetic signature or Aurora kinases expression. It induced significant modulation of Aurora A and Aurora B biomarkers (p-Aurora A and pHH3, respectively) and cell polyploidy, as expected from Aurora A B inhibitors.
