Authors

PHA-739358 is a small molecule 3-aminopyrazole derivative with low nanomolar activity against all aurora kinases (AKs). It also inhibits other cancer relevant tyrosine kinases such as wild type and mutated ABL, RET, TRK-A and FGFRs.1,2 PHA-739358 shows a dominant aurora kinase B inhibition-related cellular phenotype and induces a p53 status dependent endoreduplication. The compound has antitumor activity in spontaneous, transgenic and xenograft models of solid and hematologic tumors with occasional cures. It is active in a broad range of BCR-ABL positive and negative cell lines, including T315I BCR-ABL mutants. A decreased phosphorylation of histone H3 under PHA- 739358 treatment has been described as a pharmacodynamic biomarker of aurora kinase B inhibition in human skin at safe doses. Similarly the reduced CRKL phosphorylation documents the activity via BCR-ABL inhibition.1,3
