Background
The orally bioavailable agent, MLN8237 (also known as alisertib), is a potent small-molecule inhibitor of Aurora A kinase (AAK) which is overexpressed in several types of tumor and associated with oncogenesis and tumor progression. It was developed from its predecessor, MLN8054, in order to minimize the benzodiazepine-like effects seen with MLN8054. The inhibitory effect of MLN8237 is ATP-competitive, reversible and AAK-specific with an inhibition constant (Ki) of 0.43 nmol/L. MLN8237 is being investigated to treat advanced malignancies, due to its both in vitro and in vivo activities against a broad range of tumor types.
