BI 2536 treatment ranging from 10 nM to 100 nM blocks the recruitment of γ-tubulin and phosphorylation of Apc6 at mitotic centrosomes, inhibits of cohesin release from chromosome arms, and induces monopolar spindle formation and other Plk1 dependent processes. BI 2536 treatment leads to the HeLa cells arrested in the G2/M stage. BI 2536 inhibits the growth of a panel of 32 human cancer cell lines with EC50 of 2-25 nM.
