General description

A cell permeable piperazine derivative that induces irreversible mitotic arrest in colon cancer cells (IC50 = 115 nM in HT29 cells) and increases their sensitivity to TNF-induced apoptosis (EC50 = 172 nM). Also shown to enhance FasL and TRAIL-induced caspase-3 activity in colon cancer cells. Binds to the chochicine-binding domain on b-tubulin with high affinity, although in a different orientation than cholchicine, and reduces tubulin polymerization with formation of multiple microtubule organizing centers with Aurora kinase A and g-tubulin. Induces G2/M arrest in both HT29 colon cancer cells and WI38 lung fibroblasts, however, this effect is more pronounced in cancer cells.
