Description
AZD-1152-HQPA inhibits aurora kinases B and C (AurB, AurC), preventing mitotic spindle formation and proper completion of mitosis. This compound exhibits anticancer chemotherapeutic activity and is currently in clinical trials as a potential treatment for cancers with solid tumors. In acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) cells, AZD-1152-HQPA induces apoptosis, inhibiting proliferation. AZD-1152-HQPA also induces apoptosis in glioma cells, inhibiting proliferation in vitro and tumor growth in vivo.
