More Info:

Biological target: A66 is a highly specific and selective p110α inhibitor with an IC50 of 32 nM.
In vitro activity: It was sought to determine which PI3K isoforms contribute to adipogenesis as well as the regulation of the levels of Topo IIα using the selective inhibitors A66 (p110α), TGX-221 (p110β) and PI3065 (p110δ). Addition of A66 reduced the storage of triglycerides dosedependently reaching the same levels obtained by LY294002 addition at the highest concentration of A66 (10 μM) (Fig. 2B–C). The levels of Topo IIα were also affected by the addition of these PI3K inhibitors with most effect seen at higher doses of A66 (1 and 10 μM). Considering that Topoisomerases II are targets in cancer chemotherapy, the results highlight that treatment of cancer with Topo II inhibitors may alter metabolic processes in the adipose tissue.

In vivo activity: To investigate whether the inhibitory effects of A66 S on activation of Akt/PKB signalling translated into the ability to block cell growth in vivo, xenograft studies were performed alongside the well-established pan-PI3K inhibitor BEZ-235 in U87MG cells, which are PTEN-null, and HCT-116 and SK-OV-3 cells, both of which contain H1047R mutations. First, the optimal dosing strategy was determined for xenograft studies by investigating the drug pharmacokinetics after a dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight by intraperitoneal injection in CD-1 mice. Despite a short half-life of only 0.42 h, the large Cmax (8247 nM) of A66 S that was reached 30 min after dosing ensured that the AUC0-inf (area under the curve from zero time to infinity) (6809 nM·h) was similar to that of BEZ-235 (7333 nM·h), which has a longer half-life of 2.73 h (Table 3). Furthermore, the effect of the A66 S form on SK-OV-3 tumour tissue was tested in vivo using a single dose of 100 mg/kg of body weight to determine whether a long-lasting effect of the drug could be achieved on target tissues (Figure 6). These studies show that A66 S causes a profound reduction in the phosphorylation of Akt/PKB and p70 S6 kinase, but not of ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase), at both 1 and 6 h after dosing (Figure 6). This is consistent with A66 S having a full inhibitory effect on PI3K signalling in the tumours during this time. In the present study, levels of A66 S in plasma were determined to be 21.1±1.2 μM and 9.1±1.1 μM at 1 and 6 h after drug injection, whereas levels of A66 S in the tumour were 22.7±2.1 μM and 16.0±1.3 μM at the same time points. Thus, the retention of drug in the tumour is likely to explain the persistence of the inhibitory effect.
