In vitro
CCT129202 is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of recombinant Aurora A kinase with a Ki of 49.8 nM. CCT129202 at 1 μM shows high selectivity for Aurora A and Aurora B with 92% and 60% inhibition, respectively. It inhibits FGFR3 slightly by 27%, and is not active against CRAF. CCT129202 inhibits proliferation in multiple cultures of human tumor cell lines with half-maximal growth inhibition (GI50) values ranging from 0.08 μM for MV4-11 to 1.7 μM for MDA-MB-157. The effects are in association with increased expression levels of Aurora A and Aurora B leading to aberrant mitosis. Treatment with CCT129202 (0.7 μM) causes the accumulation of HCT116 cells with >4N DNA content, leading to apoptosis in a time dependent manner. Application of CCT129202 in HCT116 cells causes decreased histone H3 phosphorylation and increased p53 protein stabilization, which are consistent with the inhibition of Aurora B and Aurora A, respectively. CCT129202 induces up-regulation of p21 in HCT116, HT29 and Hela cells in a p53 dependent and independent manner, which leads to decreased phosphorylation of the Rb protein and activity of E2F in a concentration-dependent manner.
In vivo
Administration of CCT129202 at 100 mg/kg in athymic mice bearing s.c. HCT116 colon cancer xenografts causes ~50% reduction of histone H3 phosphorylation after 30 minutes of treatment, and significantly inhibits tumor growth by 57.7% compared to control mice after a period of 9 days of treatment.
