Description
CFI-400945 is an inhibitor of polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4). PLK4 plays an important role in centriole replication, and inhibition of PLK4 disrupts mitosis. CFI-400945 inhibits tumor growth in models of pancreatic cancer. PLK4 inhibition may be effective against osteosarcoma, where it is theorized that overexpression of PLK4 may be a driving force in osteosarcoma development and preservation.
