“…Compound 1 (CFI-400945, IC 50 = 1.55 nM) has advanced into Phase II clinical trial but studies showed that it was not a selective PLK4 inhibitor. , To simplify the structure of CFI-400945, Yu et al utilized a scaffold hopping strategy to obtain compound 2 (YLT-11, IC 50 = 22 nM). , Compound 3 (centrinone or LCR-263) was developed by Oegema et al in 2015 with an IC 50 value of 2.7 nM, , and it was often used as a positive control. Recently, our research group reported three PLK4 inhibitors: Type-I inhibitors 4 (CZS-034, IC 50 = 0.2 nM) and 5 (CZS-241, IC 50 = 26 nM), Type-II inhibitor 6 (CZS-089, IC 50 = 26 nM). CZS-034 potently bound with PLK4 protein and exhibited stronger antiproliferation activity in TRIM37 -amplified breast cancer cells than CZS-241 and CZS-089.…”
