PI-103 Hydrochloride is a potent cell-permeable multi-target inhibitor that primarily acts on the PI3K and mTOR signaling pathways[1]. PI-103 Hydrochloride inhibits PI3K subtypes p110α (8nM), p110β (88nM), p110δ (48nM), and p110γ (158nM), as well as mTOR complexes mTORC1 (20nM) and mTORC2 (83nM), while simultaneously inhibiting DNA-PK activity (2nM)[2]. PI-103 Hydrochloride can induce mitochondrial apoptosis and autophagy in cells[3]. PI-103 Hydrochloride can restore the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy[4].
In vitro, pretreatment of Dalton's lymphoma ascites (DLA) cells with PI-103 Hydrochloride (10μM) for 24 hours, followed by stimulation with H₂O₂ (1mM) for 30 minutes, significantly inhibited the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and induced apoptosis, while reducing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)[5]. Pretreatment of Huh7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells with PI-103 Hydrochloride (2μM) for 1 hour, followed by stimulation with EGF (2.5nM) for 15 minutes, significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of key proteins in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and blocked EGF-stimulated cell proliferation[6].
In vivo, intraperitoneal injection of PI-103 Hydrochloride (10mg/kg) combined with olaparib (10mg/kg) three times per week, used to treat mouse models implanted with MDA-MB-435S cells for 2 weeks followed by radiotherapy (3Gy per fraction), significantly enhanced the inhibitory effect of radiotherapy on triple-negative breast cancer xenografts[7]. Daily intraperitoneal injection of PI-103 Hydrochloride (10mg/kg or 70mg/kg) in FVB/N mice for 8 days to several weeks significantly promoted the growth of melanoma xenografts, while inhibiting thymocyte count and inducing immunosuppression[8].
