Poloppin is a cell penetrant and potent inhibitor of mitotic Polo-like kinases (PLKs) that binds to the Polo-box domain (PBD) and prevents PLKs interaction with pSer/pThr phosphopeptide substrates. Poloppin induces mitotic arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells expressing mutant KRAS in 2D and organoid cultures. It also sensitizes mutant KRAS-expressing cancer cells to Crizotinib.

Mutations activating KRAS underlie many forms of cancer, but are refractory to therapeutic targeting. Here, we develop Poloppin, an inhibitor of protein-protein interactions via the Polo-box domain (PBD) of the mitotic Polo-like kinases (PLKs), in monotherapeutic and combination strategies to
