Human Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is an essential regulator of mitotic progression. Targeted inhibition of this kinase was effective in killing tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. The Plk1 inhibitor BI_2536 was well tolerated and showed antitumor activity in the first clinical trials enrolling patients with advanced solid tumors and refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.
