HIDE SMILES / InChI
K-858 is a small molecule inhibitor of Eg5 (kinesin spindle protein), a mitotic kinesin that plays an essential role in establishing mitotic spindle bipolarity. K-858 blocked centrosome separation, activated the spindle checkpoint, and induced mitotic arrest in cells accompanied by the formation of monopolar spindles. K858 induces mitotic arrest, apoptosis, and cell growth inhibition in cancer cells. K-858 exhibited potent antitumor activity in xenograft models of cancer, and induced the accumulation of mitotic cells with monopolar spindles in tumor tissues.

Sample Use Guides

K858 exhibits antitumor activity and induces mitotic arrest in human xenograft tumor models: K858 at doses of 150 mg/kg administered orally twice for 5 days suppressed tumor growth in an A2780 ovarian cancer xenograft model, In a HCT116 colon cancer xenograft model, at a dose of 100 mg/kg twice a day orally for 5 days, K858 also exhibited antitumor activity.
Route of Administration: Oral
K858 induces mitotic arrest with EC50 1.6 uM and cell growth inhibition with GI50 0.98 uM
