AURKA-IN-4 (compound 13), a capsaicin-derived prohibitin ligand, is an AURKA inhibitor. AURKA-IN-4 acts as a molecular glue within the AURKA/PHB2/LC3 complex. AURKA-IN-4 is specific to the mitochondrial pool of AURKA, and inhibits AURKA-dependent mitophagy. AURKA-IN-4 can be used for cancer research[1].
