Abstract A38: In vitro and in vivo characterization of a novel NEK2 inhibitor MBM5 for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer

Abstract: NEK2 is a conserved mitotic regulator critical for centrosome splitting and correct chromosome segregation. Aberrant expression of NEK2 has been found in a variety of human cancers, making it an attractive molecular target for the design of novel anticancer therapeutics. Here we report the discovery of a novel small molecule NEK2 inhibitor, MBM5, for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer cells. A series of compounds have been synthesized to determine their potency against NEK2. Through in vitro kinase assay… Show more
