Bioactivity | 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]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | 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: | ||||||||||||
