AZD 1152 is an orally bioavailable prodrug of AZD 1152-HQPA, a selective inhibitor of Aurora kinase B (IC50 = 0.36 nM).1 AZD 1152 is converted to AZD 1152-HQPA in plasma. Inhibition of Aurora B results in disruption of spindle checkpoint functions and chromosome alignment, resulting in inhibition of cytokinesis followed by apoptosis.2,3 AZD 1152 inhibits tumor xenograft growth in vivo.4,5
