Preferred Label : KIF18A Inhibitor GH2616;
NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable inhibitor of the human kinesin-like protein KIF18A, with potential
antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, KIF18A inhibitor GH2616 selectively
binds to and inhibits the activity of KIF18A. This may result in multipolar cell division
and inhibit tumor cell proliferation. KIF18A, a mitotic kinesin-8 motor protein, plays
an important role in the regulation of chromosome positioning during cell division
and is overexpressed in certain cancers. Certain cancer cells with chromosomal instability
(CIN) features depend on KIF18A activity for bipolar spindle integrity and cell proliferation.;
