Comment: NL13 is reported to behave as an inhibitor of the prostate cancer target, polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) (IC50 2.3 μM in a biochemical assay) [1]; structure drawn from this Qiao et al. (2024) article with specified (E)/(Z) configuration on the double bonds. Mechanistically, PLK4 inhibitors disrupt mitotic spindle assembly which induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
