SNS-314

Potent and Selective Inhibitor of Aurora Kinases A, B, and C for Advanced Solid Tumors

SNS-314 is a potent and selective inhibitor of Aurora kinases A, B, and C. Proliferating cells treated with SNS-314 bypass the mitotic spindle checkpoint and fail to undergo cytokinesis, leading to multiple rounds of endoreduplication and eventually cell death. See the SNS-314 mechanism of action.

SNS-314 inhibits tumor growth in a variety of preclinical models, and it is now being tested in single agent Phase 1 studies in patients with advanced solid tumors. Preclinical studies suggest that SNS-314 can be productively combined with standard chemotherapeutic agents, and combination trials are also anticipated. SNS-314 was discovered at Sunesis.
