Description

PFK-158 is a potent and selective PFKFB3 inhibitor with an IC50 value 137 nM. PFK-158 reduces glucose uptake, ATP production, lactate release, and induces apoptosis and autophagy in cancer cells. PFK-158 has broad anti-tumor activity. PFK-158 can also enhance Colistin's resistance to bacteria[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

IC50 : 137 nM (PFKFB3)[1][3]

In Vitro

PFK-158 (10 μM ; 24 hours; OV2008 and C13 cells) combined with Carboplatin (CBPt; 77-453 μM) results in significant increase in apoptosis in C13 (45%) and OV2008 cells (24.6%)[1].
PFK-158 (0-10 μM ; 24 hours; C13 and HeyA8MDR cells) treatment results in a dose-dependent decrease in p-PFKFB3, p-cPLA2 and lipid droplet (LD) levels[1].
PFK-158 (10 μM; 24 hours) has synergistic anti-proliferative effects in vitro when combined with Cisplatin in C13 and HeyA8MDR cells compared to OV2008 and HeyA8, respectively[1].
PFK-158 (0‐10 μM; 24 h) treatment shows a dose-dependent downregulation of p62/SQSTM1 and upregulation of LC3BII, two markers of autophagy induction, in both C13 and HeyA8MDR cells. PFK-158 treatment also reduces the numbers of LDs[1].

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: OV2008 and C13 cells
Concentration: 10 µM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Combined with Carboplatin (CBPt) treatment resulted in significant increase in apoptosis.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: C13 and HeyA8MDR cells
Concentration: 0 µM, 5 µM, 10 µM
Incubation Time: 24 hours
Result: Demonstrated a dose-dependent decrease in p-PFKFB3, p-cPLA2 and lipid droplet (LD) levels.
In Vivo

PFK-158 (15 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once a week; for 4 weeks; female athymic nude mice) plus CBPt (51 mg/kg) treatment leads to significantly enhanced antitumor activity in a gynecologic cancer mouse model[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Female athymic nude mice (nu/nu) (5-6 weeks old) injected with HeyA8MDR cells[1]
Dosage: 15 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; once a week; for 4 weeks
Result: A marked reduction of tumor growth was observed in the combination treatment.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
