VX-680 (also known as MK-0457 or tozasertib), discovered through a molecular screening campaign, is a potent inhibitor of pan-aurora kinase as well as other kinases including Src, GSK3β, Flt3, JAK2, BCR-Abl (wild type) and BCR-Abl (T315I mutant). It binds to the inactive conformations of non-aurora kinases preventing activation, which leads to the inhibition of a wide array of kinases. Having been extensively investigated in cell lines and/or xenografts in animal models, VX-680 exhibits high degree of anti-tumor activity against a broad spectrum of tumor types, including ovarian, renal cell carcinoma, thyroid, oral squamous cell, CML (wild-type and mutant BCR-Abl), AML, and MM.

Kinase inhibition assays |
The consumption of ATP is coupled via the pyruvate kinase/lactic dehydrogenase enzyme pair to the oxidation of NADH, which can be monitored through the decrease in absorption at 340 nm. Reactions contained 100 mM Tris (pH 8), 10 mM MgCl2, 2.2 mM ATP, 1 mM phosphoenolpyruvate, 0.6 mg/mL NADH, 75 units/mL pyruvate kinase, 105 units/mL lactate dehydrogenase, and 0.5 mM substrate peptide (sequence: EAIYAAPFAKKK). Reactions (75 μL) were started by adding sufficient kinase to bring the reactions to 30 nM kinase concentration and the decrease in absorbance was monitored over 30 mins at 30 °C in a microtiter plate spectrophotometer. Inhibitory constants were obtained through addition of 3.75 μL VX-680 in 100% DMSO or DMSO alone. Ki values were calculated as follows, Ki = IC50 / (1 + [S]/Kd), where [S] = [ATP] = 2.2 mM, and Kd (of ATP to Abl) = 70 μM. These values were calculated assuming a Kd (ATP) of 70 μM for wild type and H396P Abl kinase domain. |

Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
