We studied this problem using cell lines representing diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (SUDHL-4 and OCI-Ly7), a genetically-encoded live-cell reporter of AKT activity, and 3 small-molecule inhibitors targeting different levels of the pathway: idelalisib (PI3Kδ), GSK2334470 (PDPK1), and ipatasertib (AKT)...Combining all 3 inhibitors produced sustained inhibition of AKT activity, was broadly synergistic at reducing viable cell number, enabled substantially lower doses of each inhibitor to be used, and was enhanced further by the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin...In a syngeneic mouse cell line model of lymphoma (A20), the triple combination showed antitumor activity and no evidence of toxicity. Our findings provide proof of concept suggesting further study of the safety and efficacy of low-dose multilevel PI3K/AKT pathway inhibition, for lymphoma and perhaps other cancers.

Ipatasertib+paclitaxel demonstrated more encouraging activity. The tolerability of both regimens was consistent with previous experience.

Recent approvals and ongoing investigations of single agents and intensification approaches will keep transforming the mCRPC treatment landscape. Improvement of patient profiling applying recognized genomic, molecular, and clinical predictive and prognostic indicators is fundamental to optimize sequential use of available therapies.

Furthermore, over fifty of the impacted proteins represent approved or investigational targets in the DrugBank database, which through their protein-protein interaction networks can inform the selection of effective therapeutic partners. Altogether, the exposure of SKBR3/HER2+ cells to Lapatinib and Ipatasertib kinase inhibitors uncovered a broad plethora of yet untapped opportunities that can be further explored for enhancing the anti-cancer effects of each drug as well as of many other multi-drug therapies that target the EGFR/ERBB2 and PI3K/AKT pathways.

The most frequently assigned TTs were IPI/NIVO (37%), ipatasertib (16%), pemigatinib (8%), TDM1 (8%), and atezo/ipatasertib (6%). The ROME Trial demonstrated that a mutational-based treatment approach based on the MTB discussion of CGP results may significantly improve ORR and PFS compared to SoC in pretreated patients with metastatic solid tumors, particularly with immunotherapy.

Adding ipatasertib to paclitaxel did not improve efficacy in PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN-altered advanced TNBC. Biomarkers for benefit from PI3K/AKT pathway inhibition in TNBC remain poorly understood.

We initially confirmed that the PLK1 specific inhibitor onvansertib (ONV) could enhance responses to a PARP inhibitor (olaparib) in prostate cancer xenografts...We confirmed in vitro synergy between ONV and the AKT inhibitor ipatasertib (IPA) and found that the combination increased apoptosis...Studies in three PTEN deficient prostate cancer xenograft models showed that co-treatment with IPA and ONV led to significant tumor growth inhibition compared to monotherapies. Together these in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that the efficacy of PLK1 antagonists can be enhanced by PARP or AKT inhibition, and support further development of these combination therapies.

For instance, RTK inhibitors such as imatinib and afatinib selectively target these receptors, hindering ligand binding and reducing signaling initiation...Other inhibitors, like lonafarnib targeting Farnesyltransferase and GGTI 2418 targeting geranylgeranyl Transferase, disrupt post-translational modifications of proteins...Targeting downstream components with RAF inhibitors such as vemurafenib, dabrafenib, and sorafenib, along with MEK inhibitors like trametinib and binimetinib, has shown promising outcomes in treating cancers with BRAF-V600E mutations, including myeloma, colorectal, and thyroid cancers. Furthermore, inhibitors of PI3K (e.g., apitolisib, copanlisib), AKT (e.g., ipatasertib, perifosine), and mTOR (e.g., sirolimus, temsirolimus) exhibit promising efficacy against various cancers such as Invasive Breast Cancer, Lymphoma, Neoplasms, and hematological malignancies. This review offers an overview of small molecule inhibitors targeting specific proteins within the RAS upstream and downstream signaling pathways in cancer.

Treatment with ipatasertib led to a marked and durable antitumor activity in some tumor types such as endometrial cancer, but not in the overall tumor-agnostic cohort. Further studies are needed to understand the relevance of AKT inhibition in these tumor types.

A growth inhibition screen with 288 cancer cell lines confirmed that INY-05-040 had a substantially higher potency than our first-generation AKT degrader (INY-03-041), with both compounds outperforming catalytic AKT inhibition by GDC-0068...Further integration of growth inhibition assays with publicly available transcriptomic, proteomic, and reverse phase protein array (RPPA) measurements established low basal JNK signaling as a biomarker for breast cancer sensitivity to AKT degradation. Together, our study presents a framework for mapping the network-wide signaling effects of therapeutically relevant compounds and identifies INY-05-040 as a potent pharmacological suppressor of AKT signaling.

The average binding free energies for the Akt1-CQU, Akt1-Ipatasertib, and Akt1-Hit9 systems were - 34.44, - 63.37, and - 39.14 kJ mol, respectively. In summary, the results obtained in this investigation suggested that Hit9 with novel scaffold may be a promising lead compound for developing new Akt1 inhibitor for treatment of various cancers with Akt1 overexpressed.

In patients with mTNBC receiving an ipatasertib/atezolizumab/taxane triplet regimen, molecular characteristics may identify those with particularly favorable or unfavorable outcomes, potentially guiding future research efforts.

Inhibition of the AKT/mTOR pathway by ipatasertib effectively increased the anti-tumor activity of oleic acid in endometrial cancer cells. Oleic acid treatment (10 mg/kg, daily, oral) for four weeks significantly inhibited tumor growth by 52.1% in the LKB1p53 mice. Our findings demonstrated that oleic acid exhibited anti-tumorigenic activities, dependent on the PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, in endometrial cancer.
