In a 237-line human tumor-cell panel, 72-hour GSK923295 exposure gave a median GI50 of 32 nM and an average of 253 nM. Responses ranged from 12 nM to >10,000 nM; HT-3 and SNU-1 were among the least sensitive lines. These growth-inhibition endpoints do not establish uniform cytotoxicity. [1]
In Cal51 cells, 50 nM GSK923295 combined with 5 nM paclitaxel or 4 nM vinorelbine increased daughter-cell death after early focusing of multipolar spindles during 48–72-hour imaging. Adding GSK923295 did not detectably impair spindle focusing. These results concern the tested combinations and cellular context. [2]
CENP-E ATPase inhibition and microtubule-bound-state stabilization
Biochemical assay · Purified human, murine and canine CENP-E motor domains; human I182L/T183A mutant [1]
GSK923295 inhibited microtubule-stimulated ATPase uncompetitively with respect to ATP and microtubules. Copelleting and phosphate-release experiments supported stabilization of a strongly microtubule-bound motor state. Murine CENP-E was less sensitive than human CENP-E.
Literature-Reported Treatment Conditions
- Treatment concentration
- Steady-state assay: 1 nM CENP-E, 5 μM microtubules and 500 μM ATP; inhibitor concentration varied. Copelleting: 3 μM motor, 6 μM microtubules, 1 mM indicated nucleotide and 20 μM inhibitor.
- Method
- ATPase concentration-response and kinetic analysis; SDS/PAGE analysis of supernatant/pellet fractions.
- Co-treatment
- Paclitaxel (10 μM) was a microtubule-stabilizing assay component, not a cellular combination-treatment experiment.
- Reported limits
- Vehicle and timing not established from the retrieved main text. Variable-substrate kinetic experiments are not represented as having the single fixed-substrate concentration-response conditions.

Growth-inhibition response across 237 tumor cell lines
Cell-based study · Panel of 237 human tumor cell lines [1]
After 72-hour exposure, sensitivity varied by more than three orders of magnitude. Most lines were sensitive, but HT-3 and SNU-1 had GI50 values above 10,000 nM. The authors found no correlation between proliferation rate and GI50.

- 384-well DNA-content growth-inhibition assay; Incell 1000 and XLfit analysis.

Low-dose CENP-E inhibition in microtubule-poison-treated Cal51 cells
Cell-based study · Cal51 breast cancer cells with histone H2B-mScarlet and tubulin-eGFP reporters [2]
Adding 50 nM GSK923295 to low-dose paclitaxel or vinorelbine increased daughter-cell death among cells that focused multipolar spindles before anaphase. GSK923295 did not detectably impair spindle focusing in these conditions. Vinorelbine combinations also increased polar chromosome misalignment and overall daughter-cell death.
Literature-Reported Treatment Conditions
- Treatment concentration
- GSK923295: 50 nM; paclitaxel: 5 nM; vinorelbine: 4 nM.
- Exposure duration
- 48–72 h timelapse imaging; drugs added approximately 1 h before acquisition unless otherwise noted.
- Method
- Live-cell timelapse microscopy with classification of spindle polarity, polar chromosomes and daughter-cell fate.
- Vehicle
- DMSO; GSK923295 dissolved in DMSO. Final vehicle percentage not established.
- Co-treatment
- Paclitaxel or vinorelbine, tested separately with GSK923295; corresponding single-agent and vehicle controls.
- Reported limits
- No numerical synergy index adopted from unacquired S1 File Table C. Findings describe combination conditions, not single-agent therapeutic efficacy.
