SBE 13 is a potent inhibitor of polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) (IC50 = 0.2 nM) that targets the inactive conformation of the enzyme 1,2. It exhibits no activity against aurora A kinase and less effectively inhibits Plk2 (IC50 > 66 µM) and Plk3 (IC50 = 875 nM). SBE 13 induces cell cycle arrest, reduces cell proliferation (EC50 = 5-60 µM), and induces apoptosis in a broad range of human cancer cell lines.2,3
