| Description: |
Voxtalisib (XL-765) is a potent PI3K inhibitor, which has a similar activity toward class I PI3K (IC50s=39, 113, 9 and 43?nM for p110α, p110β, p110γ and p110δ, respectively), also inhibits DNA-PK (IC50=150?nM) and mTOR (IC50=157?nM). Voxtalisib (XL-765) inhibits mTORC1 and mTORC2 with IC50s of 160 and 910 nM, respectively. |
| In Vivo: |
Oral administration of Voxtalisib (XL-765) causes a dose-dependent decrease of phosphorylation of AKT, p70S6K, and S6 in the tumors, reaching a maximum of 84% inhibition of S6 phosphorylation at 30 mg/kg at 4 hours. The dose-response relationships derive from the 4 hours time point predict 50% inhibition of AKT, p70S6K, and S6 phosphorylation to occur at doses of 19 mg/kg (pAKTT308 and pAKTS473), 51 mg/kg (p-p70S6K), and 18 mg/kg (pS6). Inhibition of AKT, p70S6K, and S6 phosphorylation in MCF7 tumors following a 30 mg/kg dose of Voxtalisib (XL-765) is maximal at 4 hours, reaching 61% to 84%; however, the level of inhibition decreases to 0% to 42% by 24 hours, and minimal or no inhibition is evident by 48 hours. Following a 100 mg/kg dose of Voxtalisib (XL-765), inhibition is also maximal at 4 hours (52%-75%)[2]. |
| In Vitro: |
Voxtalisib (XL-765) displays potent inhibitory activity against class I PI3K isoforms p110α, p110β, p110δ, and p120γ, with IC50s of 39, 110, 43, and 9 nM, respectively. The IC50 value for inhibition of PI3Kα by Voxtalisib (XL-765) is determined at various concentrations of ATP, revealing Voxtalisib (XL-765) be an ATP-competitive inhibitor with an equilibrium inhibition constant (Ki) value of 13 nM. Voxtalisib (XL-765) also inhibits mTOR (IC50s of 160 and 910 nM for mTORC1 and mTORC2, respectively) in an immune-complex kinase assay and the PI3K-related kinase DNA-PK (IC50 value of 150 nM). In contrast, Voxtalisib (XL-765) has relatively weak inhibitory activity toward the class III PI3K vacuolar sorting protein 34 (VPS34; IC50 value of ~9.1 μM). Consistent with its inhibitory activity against purified PI3K proteins, SAR245409 inhibits EGF-induced PIP3 production in PC-3 and MCF7 cells with IC50s of 290 and 170 nM, respectively. The ability of Voxtalisib (XL-765) to inhibit phosphorylation of key signaling proteins downstream of PI3K is examined by assessing its effects on EGF-stimulated phosphorylation of AKT and on nonstimulated phosphorylation of S6 in PC-3 cells by cell-based ELISA. Voxtalisib (XL-765) inhibits these activities with IC50s of 250 and 120 nM, respectively. In MCF7 and PC-3 cells, Voxtalisib (XL-765) inhibits proliferation (monitored by BrdUrd incorporation) with IC50s of 1,070 and 1,840 nM, respectively. To further characterize the effects of Voxtalisib (XL-765) on tumor cell growth, an assay monitoring the anchorage-independent growth of PC-3 and MCF7 cells in soft agar over a 14-day period is used. SAR245409 inhibits colony growth with an IC50 value of 270 nM in PC-3 cells and 230 nM in MCF7 cells[2]. |
