In Vitro |
PFI-1 has antiproliferative effects on leukemic cell lines and efficiently abrogates their clonogenic growth. Exposure of sensitive cell lines with PFI-1 results in G1 cell-cycle arrest, downregulation of MYC expression, as well as induction of apoptosis and induces differentiation of primary leukemic blasts. Cells exposed to PFI-1 show significant downregulation of Aurora B kinase, thus attenuating phosphorylation of the Aurora substrate H3S10, providing an alternative strategy for the specific inhibition of this well-established oncology target[1]. PFI-1 binds to with cyclic AMP response binding protein with Kd of 49 μM. PFI-1 has an EC50 of 1.89 μM for the inhibition of IL6 production from human blood mononuclear cells stimulated by LPS[2]. PFI-1 induces dose-dependent reduction of cell viability in T4302 CD133+ cells[3]. PFI-1 inhibits the proliferating of three NET cell lines (Bon-1 derived from a pancreatic NET, and H727 and H720 derived from lung NETs)[4].

In Vivo |
PFI-1 administrated (1 mg/kg, i.v.) in the rat results in the volume of distribution of 1 L/kg, the plasma clearance of 18 mL/min/kg and half-life of 1 hour. PFI-1 oral dosed (2 mg/kg) in the rat results in the oral bioavailability as low as 32%. PFI-1 administrated (2 mg/kg, s.c.) in the mouse results in a Cmax of 58 ng/mL with a Tmax of 1 h and a half-life of approximately 2 hours[2].
