In vitro
In intact cells, the inhibitory activity of PF-03814735 on the Aurora1 and Aurora2 kinases reduces levels of phospho-Aurora1 (Thr 232, a sensitive marker of Aurora1 activity, with IC50 ~ 20 nM), phosphohistone H3 (with IC50 ~ 50 nM), and phospho-Aurora2 (with IC50 ~150 nM). PF-03814735 produces a block in cytokinesis, resulting in inhibition of cell proliferation and the formation of polyploid multinucleated cells. A recent research indicates small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and, to a lesser extent, colon cancer lines are very sensitive to PF-03814735. The status of the Myc gene family and retinoblastoma pathway members significantly correlates with the efficacy of PF-03814735.
In vivo
Once-daily oral dosing of >20 mg/kg of PF-03814735 for 10 days to mice bearing HCT-116 xenografts resulted in statistically significant and dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition of >50% relative to vehicle-treated mice. The inhibition is associated with a reduction in phosphorylated histone H3 levels. Significant single-agent antitumor efficacy is observed in five additional xenograft tumor models, including A2780 ovarian carcinoma, MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma, colo-205 and SW620 colorectal carcinomas, and HL-60 acute promyelocytic leukemia. In vivo experiments with two SCLC xenograft models confirms the sensitivity of Myc gene-driven models to PF-03814735 and a possible schedule dependence of MYC/c-Myc-driven tumors.
