Aurkin A is an allosteric inhibitor that disrupts the interaction between Aurora A kinase (AURKA) and its co-activator TPX2 by selectively targeting the TPX2 binding site on Aurora A. It binds with a dissociation constant (K\_d) of 3.77 μM, thereby interfering with Aurora A activation and its downstream mitotic functions. Aurkin A offers a unique mechanism of action compared to ATP-competitive inhibitors and serves as a valuable tool for studying Aurora A–TPX2–mediated signaling in cell division and cancer progression.
