GW843682, 5-(5,6-Dimethoxy-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-3-{[2-(trifluoromethyl)-benzyl]oxy}thiophene-2-carboxamide

Description

GW843682X is a reversible, cell-permeable polo-like kinase (PLK) inhibitor. It selectively inhibits Plk1 and Plk3 (IC₅₀s = 2.2 and 9.1 nM, respectively) over PDGFR1β, VEGFR2, Aurora A, and Cdk2/cyclin A (IC₅₀s = 160, 360, 4,800, and 7,600 nM, respectively), as well as over 30 other kinases, in a cell-free assay. GW843682X also inhibits Plk1 activity in vitro in HeLa cells (IC₅₀ = 0.14 μM in a reporter assay using chimeric Plk1). It inhibits growth in nine cancer cell lines in a panel (IC₅₀s = 0.11-0.7 μM) but not of PC3 human prostate cancer cells (IC₅₀ = 6.82 μM) or non-cancerous human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs; IC₅₀ = 6.14 μM). GW843682X inhibits growth of MES-SA human uterine sarcoma cells, as well as of the drug-resistant, P-glycoprotein-expressing MES-SA/Dx5 subline (IC₅₀s = 0.21 and 0.21 μM, respectively). It also inhibits the growth of patient-derived leukemia cells (IC₅₀s = <0.25-0.8 μM). GW843682X induces G₂/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of H460 human lung and PALL-2 and MOLM13 human leukemia cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner.

The Uses of GW843682, 5-(5,6-Dimethoxy-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-3-{[2-(trifluoromethyl)-benzyl]oxy}thiophene-2-carboxamide
