PLK1
PLK1 is a serine/threonine Polo-like kinase that orchestrates cell division through mitotic entry, spindle-pole functions, and cytokinesis[1]. Mechanistically, mammalian PLK1 controls centrosome maturation, spindle assembly, and microtubule attachment to kinetochores in early mitosis[2]. This mitotic role makes PLK1 relevant to cancer biology, because dysfunction may promote cancerous transformation and drive progression, and overexpression occurs in diverse human cancers with poor prognosis[3]. Compared with related isoforms, PLK1-PLK4 participate in cell-cycle processes, but reported functional emphasis differs: PLK2 and PLK4 regulate centriole duplication, PLK3 regulates DNA replication, and PLK1 regulates centrosome separation and maturation[4]. For experimental applications, PLK1 inhibition provides a direct way to perturb mitosis, because BI 2536 inhibits mammalian PLK1 at low nanomolar concentrations, induces mitotic arrest and apoptosis in human cancer cell lines, and inhibits human tumor xenograft growth in nude mice[5].

Lasiokaurin
0 ImagesLasiokaurin is an anticancer agent. Lasiokaurin can be isolated from Rabdosia rubescens (Hemsl.) H. Hara. Lasiokaurin inhibits the function of the PDPK1-AKT axis, with a Kd value of 75.93 μM for PDPK1. Lasiokaurin inhibits mTOR, STAT3, MAPK and NF-κB. Lasiokaurin reduces the mRNA and protein expression levels of PLK1. Lasiokaurin decreases DNA synthesis levels, induces cell Apoptosis, and regulates Autophagy processes. Lasiokaurin inhibits tumor growth in xenograft models. Lasiokaurin can be used in research related to nasopharyngeal carcinoma, triple-negative breast cancer.

PMV6-PEG4-BI2536
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-179560Purity: 98.47%PMV6-PEG4-BI2536 is an RIPTAC-like bifunctional molecule that promotes the formation of the p53Y220C-PLK1 ternary complex (EC50 = 1.4 μM). PMV6-PEG4-BI2536 causes PLK1 mislocalization and inhibits PLK1 activity, inducing G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis in p53Y220C-mutant cells, while sparing cells with wild-type TP53. PMV6-PEG4-BI2536 can be used in research on uterine, gastric, pancreatic, prostate, and breast cancers harboring the p53Y220C mutation. PMV6-PEG4-BI2536 is composed of PMV6 (a p53Y220C mutant-binding ligand), PEG4 (a linker), and BI2536 (HY-159493) (a PLK inhibitor).
