In the HCT-116 tumor-bearing mice, MLN8054 treatment inhibits tumor growth dose dependently. MLN8054 is generally well tolerated. MLN8054 also inhibits the growth of the PC-3 tumor xenograft in nude mice. MLN8054 Treatment Results in Inhibition of Aurora A, Accumulation of Mitotic Cells, and Apoptosis in vivo. MLN8054 selectively inhibits Aurora A kinase activity when dosed at 30 mg/kg. At this dose in HCT116 tumor tissue, MLN8054 has been shown to inhibit Aurora A autophosphorylation, and induce an increase in the Aurora B substrate, pHisH3.
