Litronesib is a specific, ATP-uncompetitive, allosteric, and potent small-molecule inhibitor of Eg5 with potential antineoplastic activity. Litronesib selectively inhibits the activity of Eg5, which may result in mitotic disruption, apoptosis and consequently cell death in tumor cells that are actively dividing. Histone-H3 phosphorylation of tumor and proliferating skin cells is a promising pharmacodynamic biomarker for in vivo anticancer activity of litronesib. Litronesib had been in phase I clinical trial for the treatment of solid tumors. The most frequent-related adverse events were hematologic such as neutropenia.
