| Bioactivity | Volasertib (BI 6727) trihydrochloride is an orally active, highly potent and ATP-competitive Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.87 nM. Volasertib trihydrochloride inhibits PLK2 and PLK3 with IC50s of 5 and 56 nM, respectively. Volasertib trihydrochloride induces mitotic arrest and apoptosis. Volasertib trihydrochloride, a dihydropteridinone derivative, shows marked antitumor activity in multiple cancer models[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Volasertib trihydrochloride (BI 6727 trihydrochloride; 0.01-10000 nM; 72 hours) has EC50 values of 11 to 37 nmol/L in multiple cell lines[1]. Volasertib trihydrochloride (10-1000 nM; 24 hours) results accumulation of cells with 4N DNA content, indicative of a cell cycle block in G2-M phase[1]. Volasertib trihydrochloride (100 nM; 24-72 hours) induces cell apoptosis at 48 hours[1]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: |
