WP
The dual pathway inhibitor rigosertib inhibits phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway (PI3K pathway) activation as well as polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) activity across a broad spectrum of cancer cell lines.
ON01910/Estybon/Rigosertib is in 2012 in Phase III clinical trials and shows promise as a powerful anti-cancer agent, especially for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and pancreatic cancer.
