buparlisib (AN2025)

KBV20C cancer cells (P-gp overexpression, vincristine [VIC] resistance, and GSK690693-resistance), 3...Compared with other Akt inhibitors (AZD5363, BKM120, and GSK690693), low-dose perifosine specifically sensitized P-gp-overexpressing resistant MCF-7/ADR cancer cells...Considering that perifosine has both an alkyl-phospholipid structure and is an allosteric inhibitor for membrane-localizing Akt-targeting, we examined structurally and functionally similar Akt inhibitors (miltefosine and MK-2206)...These findings could contribute to its clinical use as a first-line treatment, explicitly targeting P-gp-overexpressing resistant cancer populations in heterogeneous tumor populations. Therefore, perifosine may be valuable in delaying or reducing cancer recurrence by targeting P-gp-overexpressing drug-resistant cancer cells.

Compound 17p demonstrated comparable PI3Kα inhibitory activity (IC50: 31.8 ± 4.1 nM) to the positive control, BKM-120 (IC50: 44.6 ± 3.6 nM)...In a pharmacokinetic study, 17p was stable (T ½: 2.03 h) and showed high bioavailability (46.2%). Collectively, these results indicate that 17p could be a promising PI3K agent for cancer treatment.

Dalpiciclib plus fulvestrant is effective and comparatively safe in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancers. Dalpiciclib, buparlisib, fulvestrant, and ribociclib cause neutropenia, severe depression, adverse gastroenterological effects, and adverse hepatological effects, respectively.

Additionally, the drug combination significantly diminished the expression of YAP1, the cell proliferation marker and an antioxidant regulator, and increased oxidative stress-responsive markers in the xenograft model. In conclusion, targeting oxidative stress resistance with combined buparlisib and ponatinib suppressed tumor growth and migration by repressing IRS1-related pathways and ultimately inducing oxidative damage, suggesting the potential for targeted therapy and clinical trials in CCA patients over the use of a single drug.

In response to BKM120, the upstream region of MYC (UR) enhances MYC expression, via FOXO3a, leading to increased autophagic flux and resistance to PI3K inhibitors (left). Pharmacological blockade of autophagy (center) or lack of translocated MYC UR along with MYC CDS in BL (right) overcome resistance and induces cells death. Image created in BioRender.

We observed that trametinib, BKM120, AZD2014 and palbociclib increased the efficacy of each chemotherapy in SCC PDXs, in contrast to a non-insignificant or slight improvement in ADCs. Furthermore, we observed high efficacy of trametinib in KRAS-, HRAS- and NRAS-mutated tumors (ADCs and SCCs), suggesting that the MEK inhibitor may be useful in a wider population of NSCLC patients, not just those with KRAS-mutated ADCs. Our results suggest that the detection of pathogenic variants by NGS should be performed in all NSCLCs, and particularly in SCCs, to offer patients a more effective combination of chemotherapy and targeted therapy.

These small molecule inhibitors include buparlisib, everolimus, vandetanib, apatinib, olaparib, salidroside, etc. Some of the signaling pathways involved in TNBC, including the VEGF, PARP, STAT3, MAPK, EGFR, P13K, and SRC pathways, were discussed. We attempted to include all the recent developments in this field. Any omission is truly unintentional.

The evaluated inhibitors BI-3406, trametinib and BKM120 showed synergistic effects in vitro. This combinatorial therapy reduced tumor weight more efficiently in male animals, although the drug concentrations were similar in the tumors of both sexes. These results underline the importance of sex-specific preclinical research and at the same time provide a solid basis for future studies with the tested compounds.

Based on our results, inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling can be a promising approach, either as a single modality or in combination with Cisplatin. However, further clinical studies should be performed to improve our understanding.

Moreover, they inhibited the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway, leading to activation of the FoxO3a/Puma signalling in NSCLC cells. Our findings suggest that combined treatment of metformin and buparlisib might provide a promising strategy for treating NSCLC.

Moreover, FD2056 showed more efficacious anti-TNBC activity than the corresponding drugs BKM120 and CYC202 at an oral dose of 15 mg/kg in the MDA-MB-231 xenograft model, inhibiting tumor growth by 43% with no observable toxic effects. All these results suggest that FD2056 has potential for further development as a promising anticancr compound, and co-targeting PI3K and CDK2 pathways may provide an alternative therapeutic strategy for the treatment of TNBC.

Compound 4w exhibited superior anti-tumor activity against the A549 cells with IC values of 1.55±0.18 μM, and better than the BKM120 (IC = 9.75±1.25 µM). Further studies indicated that 4w could induce G/G phase arrest, cell apoptosis, and down-regulate expression of p-PI3K and p-Akt. These results indicate that 4w could be served as a lead compound of PI3K inhibitor for the treatment of human lung cancers.

The presence of Buparlisib in plasma and CSF was confirmed 2h post-treatment with a median CSF concentration below the EC50 defined in the cell line All four patients were evaluated for response and the median time to progression was 39 days. Buparlisib monotherapy did not lead to meaningful responses and the trial was prematurely stopped.Clinical Trial Registration: NCT02301364.

As monotherapy, the pan-PI3K inhibitor BKM120 can induce growth inhibition and apoptosis in most of the melanoma models tested, but shows severe side effects in patients...Initial in ovo test results (on chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM)) showed reduced tumor burden by using BYL719 in combination with the MEKi trametinib. These data suggest that the combination of PI3Ki with MEKi may be a new therapeutic option for BRAF wild-type melanoma patients.

The IT and BKM-120 were used in the BBB-model showing preliminary results of permeability. Conclusions Targeted innovative scFv-based immunotherapy as highly specific and less immunogenic therapy for MB or RMS was established, also as combination therapy approach.

Reducing insulin feedback improves the efficacy of PI3K inhibition in glioblastoma in mice, and hyperglycemia worsens progression-free survival in patients with glioblastoma treated with PI3K inhibition. These findings indicate that hyperglycemia is a critical resistance mechanism associated with PI3K inhibition in glioblastoma and that anti-hyperglycemic therapy may enhance PI3K inhibitor efficacy in glioblastoma patients.

Western blot and immunofluorescence results confirmed that BKM120 could reduce the expression of PI3K and p-AKT, critical proteins of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. BKM120 inhibits MRTK by inhibiting PI3K/Akt signalling pathway to induce apoptosis and cell cycle G0/G1 phase arrest, which is anticipated to give the clinical treatment of MRTK a new direction.

Furthermore, buparlisib inhibited the effects of ARHGAP30 upregulation on OC cell growth and invasiveness. In conclusion, ARHGAP30 regulated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway to promote progression of OC.

In monotherapy, the pan-PI3K inhibitor BKM120 (activity against p110 alpha, beta, gamma, and delta isoforms) is able to induce growth inhibition and apoptosis in most of the melanoma models tested to date, whereas BYL719, an alpha-specific inhibitor, has limited antitumor activity as monotherapy...Initial in vivo test results (in ovo) on chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) showed reduced tumor burden and micrometastases by using the p110alpha-specific BYL719 in combination with trametinib...These data show that the combination of PI3K inhibitors with MEK inhibitors could be a new therapeutic option for melanoma patients. By using PI3Kα-selective inhibitors, potential side effects could be reduced compared to pan-PI3K inhibitors.

Treating these chordoma cells with palbociclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor), rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor) or the pan-PI3K inhibitor buparlisib significantly reduced cell viability. Synergistic effects were observed when combining palbociclib with rapamycin. In conclusion, we show that patients with PTEN-/p16-negative chordomas have poor prognoses and provide strong preclinical evidence that these patients might benefit from a Palbociclib/rapamycin combination treatment.

Totally, we initially identified the smoking-related epigenetic modifications in bladder cancer and constructed a corresponding prognostic model, which was also linked to disparate sensitivities to chemotherapeutics. Our findings would provide novel insights into the carcinogenesis, prognosis, and therapies in bladder cancer.

PI3K inhibitor buparlisib exerted selective activity against Lin-cKit+ NUP98-PMX1;Abl1-/- cells when compared to the Abl1 + /+ counterparts...Moreover, ABL1 kinase inhibitor enhanced the sensitivity to PI3K, DNA-PKcs and ATR inhibitors. In conclusion, we showed that ABL1 kinase plays a tumor suppressor role in hematological malignancies induced by AML1-ETO and NUP98-PMX1 and modulates the response to PI3K and/or DDR inhibitors.

Of note, all tested combinations (venetoclax + PI3K inhibitors idelalisib or BKM-120, as well as AKT inhibitors MK-2206 or perifosine) achieved comparable anti-leukemic effects. The present study provides rational combination strategies involving selective BCL-2 and PI3K/AKT inhibition in B-ALL cell lines. Furthermore, we identified a potential mechanistic background of the synergistic activity of combined venetoclax and perifosine application.

Cells were challenged with: AKT inhibitor MK-2206; multikinase inhibitors Sorafenib, Lenvatinib and Dasatinib; PI3-kinase inhibitors BKM-120, Wortmannin, LY294002, and CAL-101; and mTOR inhibitor Rapamycin. Our studies show that the nine inhibitors differentially target ICC, ECC, and HCC/hepatoblastoma lines. Caution should be taken with Lenvatinib and Sorafenib administration in patients with cHCC/CC as the drugs may have no effects on, or might even stimulate, ICC.

Our analyses demonstrate that HRD can be detected reliably from panel sequencing data that are obtained as part of routine clinical care, and that this approach can identify patients beyond those with germline BRCA12 mut who might benefit from PARP inhibitors. Prospective clinical utility testing is warranted.

We also find that HOIP depletion sensitizes PCa cells to therapeutic agents BKM120 and Enzalutamide. Furthermore, the clinical data analyses confirm that HOIP is upregulated and positively correlated with AKT activation in PCa patient specimen, which may promote PCa progression and increase the risk of PCa biochemical relapse. Together, our study reveals a key role of PTEN M1-Ubi in regulation of AKT activation and PCa progression, which may propose a new strategy for PCa therapy.

We investigated the anti-tumor efficacy of two KRAS inhibitors BI-3406 (KRAS::SOS1 inhibitor) and sotorasib (KRAS G12C inhibitor) alone or in combination with MEK1/2 inhibitor trametinib and/or PI3K inhibitor buparlisib in seven PDAC cell lines. As well as directly involved in RAF/MEK/ERK pathway and PI3K/AKT pathway affect cell survival. Our current study confirmed inhibition of KRAS and its downstream pathways as a potential novel therapy for PDAC and provides fundamental data for in vivo evaluations.

KW-2478, buparlisib, and minocycline hydrochloride (MH) promoted maximal expression of the junctional protein β-catenin and induced 4T1 cells nucleus changes...MH was the most promising in preventing 4T1 migration and BBB disruption, tumour and endothelial cytoskeleton-associated proteins modifications, and miRNA deregulation. Our data revealed MH's ability to improve BBB properties, while compromising BCCs viability and interaction with BBB endothelial cells, besides restoring miRNAs' homeostasis, paving the way for MH repurposing for BCBM prevention.

Together, the results suggest that repeated BKM120 treatment enhances the radial migration of DCX-positive cells and induces anxiety- and depression-like behaviors by regulating the activity of Akt, JNK, DCX, and RhoA in the dentate gyrus. It also suggests that the altered migration of adult-born neurons in the dentate gyrus plays a role in mood disturbances.
