azd 1152

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.
