Volasertib (BI 6727) is an orally active, highly potent and ATP-competitive Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.87 nM. Volasertib inhibits PLK2 and PLK3 with IC50s of 5 and 56 nM, respectively. Volasertib induces mitotic arrest and apoptosis. Volasertib, a dihydropteridinone derivative, shows marked antitumor activity in multiple cancer models.
Volasertib (BI 6727
0.01-10000 nM
72 hours) has EC50 values of 11 to 37 nmol/L in multiple cell lines[1]. Volasertib (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 (100 nM
24-72 hours) induces cell apoptosis at 48 hours[1].
Volasertib (BI 6727
A total weekly dose of 50 mg/kg
Oral
once a week, twice a week, or daily
for 40 days) shows comparable efficacy in human colon carcinoma xenograft models[1]. Volasertib (15, 20, or 25 mg/kg/day
i.v.
2 consecutive days per week
for 40 days) leads to significant tumor growth delay and even tumor regression in human colon carcinoma xenograft models [1]. Volasertib (70 mg/kg given once weekly or 10 mg/kg daily
oral) significantly delays tumor growth in a non-small cell lung carcinoma xenograft model derived from NCI-H460 cells[1]. Volasertib (a single dose of 40 mg/kg
iv) causes a significant (13-fold) increase in mitotic cells in HCT 116 tumor-bearing nude mice[1]. Volasertib has high volume of distribution and a long terminal half-life in mice (Vss=7.6 L/kg, t1/2=46 h) and rats (Vss=22 L/kg, t1/2=54 h)[1].
