| Additional Infomation |
CFI-400437 HCl is a synthetic small molecule polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) inhibitor belonging to the (E)-3-((1H-indazol-6-yl)methylene)indoline-2-one class of compounds [1]. Its mechanism of action is to bind to the ATP-binding pocket of PLK4, inhibit its kinase activity, thereby disrupting centrosome replication and inducing mitotic catastrophe, ultimately leading to cancer cell death [1]. This compound has excellent selectivity for PLK4, superior to other PLK subtypes (PLK1/2/3), minimizing off-target effects on normal cell division [1]. Due to its strong antiproliferative activity and good safety profile, it has potential application value in the treatment of various solid tumors (e.g., colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer) [1].
