Use | BI 2536 is a potent Plk1 inhibitor with IC50 of 0.83 nM, which is 4 and 11 times more selective than Plk2 and Plk3, respectively. |
In vitro study | In addition to Plk1, BI 2536 also inhibited Plk2 and Plk3 activity, with only a low degree of inhibition, with an IC50 of 3.5 nM and 9.0 nM, respectively. BI 2536 was more than 1000-fold more selective than a group of 63 other protein kinases (IC50>10 μm). BI 2536 acts on HeLa cells at the dose of 10 nM to 100 nM, inhibits the recruitment of gamma-tubulin and Apc6 phosphorylation in mitotic centrosome, and inhibits the release of binding proteins in chromosome arms, induction of unipolar spindle, and some other plk1-dependent mitotic processes. Consistent with the effect of Plk1 RNAi, HeLa cells were treated with BI 2536 to stop the cell cycle at G2/M phase, followed by DNA breakdown and apoptosis, and the accumulation of fragmented PARP p85 fragments, this effect is concentration-dependent. BI 2536 inhibits the growth of a panel of 32 human tumor cell lines with EC50 of 2-25 nM, inhibits exponential growth by hTERT-RPE1, Human Umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and normal rat kidney (NRK) cell proliferation, EC50 12-31 nM. BI 2536 inhibits Plk1, reduces the growth and viability of undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma (ATC) cells such as CAL62, OCUT-1, SW1736, 8505C, and ACT-1, the EC50 was 1.4-5.6 nM. |
In vivo study | BI 2536 is administered intravenously to various xenograft tumor models, once or twice a week, with good results, inhibiting cell proliferation by arresting the cell cycle and subsequently inducing tumor cell death. BI 2536 at a dose of 50 mg/kg treated HCT 116 transplanted tumor, once or twice a week, significantly inhibited tumor growth, T/C was 15% and 0.3%, respectively. BI 2536 treated twice weekly in BxPC-3 and A549 models also significantly inhibited tumor growth with T/C of 5% and 14%, respectively. |
