Pifusertib (TAS-117) is a potent, selective, orally active allosteric Akt inhibitor (with IC50s of 4.8, 1.6, and 44 nM for Akt1, 2, and 3, respectively). Pifusertib triggers anti-myeloma activities and enhances fatal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced by proteasome inhibition. Pifusertib induces apoptosis and autophagy.

Description

Pifusertib (TAS-117) is a potent, selective, orally active allosteric Akt inhibitor (with IC50s of 4.8, 1.6, and 44 nM for Akt1, 2, and 3, respectively). Pifusertib triggers anti-myeloma activities and enhances fatal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced by proteasome inhibition. Pifusertib induces apoptosis and autophagy[1].

IC50 & Target[1]

Akt1

4.8 nM (IC50)

Akt2

1.6 nM (IC50)

Akt3

44 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

Pifusertib (1 μM; 6 hours) blocks basal phosphorylation of Akt and downstream p-FKHR/FKHRL1 in MM cells with high baseline p-Akt[1].
Pifusertib (0-10 μM; 72 hours) selectively inhibits Akt and induces cytotoxicity in MM cells with high baseline phosphorylation of Akt[1].
Pifusertib abrogates the cytoprotective effect of the bone marrow microenvironment associated with Akt inhibition in both MM cells and BMSCs. Pifusertib enhances Carfilzomib-induced cytotoxicity and fatal ER stress in MM cells. Pifusertib (0.5, 1 μM) triggers G0/G1 arrest followed by apoptosis, associated with induction of autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress response[1].
Pifusertib enhances bortezomib-induced cytotoxicity, associated with increased CHOP (a fatal ER-stress marker) and PARP cleavage and blockade of bortezomib-induced p-Akt, suggesting that Pifusertib augments Bortezomib-induced ER stress and apoptotic signaling[1].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: MM cell lines
Concentration: 0-10 μM
Incubation Time: 72 hours
Result: Induced significant growth inhibition in MM cell lines with high baseline p-Akt, but not in cell lines with low baseline p-Akt.

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: MM cell lines
Concentration: 0-10 μM
Incubation Time: 72 hours
Result: Blocked basal phosphorylation of Akt and downstream p-FKHR/FKHRL1 in MM cells with high baseline p-Akt, but did not inhibit autophosphorylation of PDK1 which phosphorylates Akt at Thr308.
In Vivo

Pifusertib (12-16 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 5 days a week, 21 days) inhibits tumor growth in murine xenograft models of human MM[1].
Pifusertib enhances bortezomib-induced MM cytotoxicity in vivo[1].

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.
