Biological Activity

Description Perifosine is a novel Akt inhibitor with IC50 of 4.7 μM in MM.1S cells, targets pleckstrin homology domain of Akt. Phase 3.
Targets
Akt [1]
(MM.1S cells)
4.7 μM
In vitro

Perifosine develops anti-proliferative properties with IC50 of 0.6-8.9 μM in immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT), and head and neck squamous carcinoma cells. [1] Perifosine strongly reduces phosphorylation levels of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) 1/2, induces cell cycle arrest in G1 and G2, and causes dose-dependent growth inhibition of mouse glial progenitors. [2] Perifosine (10 μM) completely inhibits the phosphorylation of Akt in MM.1S cells. [3] A recent study demonstrates Perifosine induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines by blockade of Akt phosphorylation. [4]
In vivo

Perifosine in combination reduces tumor proliferation (a PDGF-driven gliomagenesis) in vivo. The results indicate that Perifosine is an effective drug in gliomas in which Akt and Ras-Erk 1/2 pathways are frequently activated, and may be new candidate for glima treatment in the clinic. [2] Both oral daily and weekly administration of Perifosine significantly reduce human MM tumor growth and increase survival, compared with control animals treated with PBS vehicle only. [3] Perifosine induces thrombocytosis and leukocytosis and increases myelopoiesis in murine marrow and spleen, whereas it causes apoptosis in myeloma xenografts. [5]

Protocol (from reference)

Kinase Assay:

[3]
  • Akt kinase assay

    MM.1S cells are cultured in the presence or absence of perifosine (5 μM, 6 hours) and then stimulated with IL-6 (20 ng/mL, 10 minutes). In vitro akt kinase assay is then carried out using the Akt Kinase Assay Kit.
Cell Assay:

[2]
  • Cell lines

    Human glioma cell lines

  • Concentrations

    0, 15, 30 and 45 μM

  • Incubation Time

    48 hours

  • Method

    Cells are incubated in the medium with 10% FCS for 48 hours with indicated concentration of Periosine. Cell viability is determined by the MTT assay. (Cell Proliferation Kit I; Roche). The absorbance at 590 nm is recorded using the 96-well plate reader.
Animal Study:

[3]
  • Animal Models

    MM.1S MM cells are inoculated subcutaneously in the right flank of Beige-nude-xid (BNX) mice (5 to 6 weeks old).

  • Dosages

    250 mg/kg/wk or 36 mg/kg/d

  • Administration

    Oral gavage
