Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Alisertib (MLN8237) is a potent, second-generation, orally bioavailable inhibitor of Aurora kinase A with high selectivity over Aurora B. By binding to and inhibiting Aurora A kinase, Alisertib disrupts mitotic spindle apparatus assembly and chromosome segregation during cell division. This targeted inhibition leads to cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and autophagy, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation and significantly suppressing tumor cell viability.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
