HS-173 is a novel and potent inhibitor of PI3Kα (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) (IC50 = 0.8 nM)that has the potential to be an efficient treatment for liver fibrosis. HS-173 may also have anticancer effects by encouraging apoptosis and repressing angiogenesis. In vitro and in vivo, HS-173 inhibited the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. By preventing PI3K/Akt signaling, it reduced fibrotic responses like cell proliferation and collagen production. The PI3K signaling pathway was blocked by HS-173, which also had an anti-proliferative effect on cancer cells. Additionally, HS-173 caused apoptosis and a cell cycle arrest at the G(2)/M phase. Additionally, HS-173 reduced the expression of HIF-1 and VEGF, both of which are crucial for angiogenesis. The suppression of tube formation and migration assay in vitro provided evidence of this effect.

| ln Vitro |
HS-173 shows potent antiproliferative effects in T47D, SK-BR3, and MCF7 cells with IC50 of 0.6, 1.5, and 7.8 μM, respectively. [1] In cancer cell lines (Hep3B and SkBr3), HS-173 completely inhibits the PI3K pathway. Additionally, HS-173 inhibits VEGF-induced angiogenesis in vitro and induces cell apoptosis by altering cell cycle distribution and activating caspases. [2] Pancreatic cancer cells respond synergistically to a combination of HS-173 and sorafenib therapy. [3]

| Enzyme Assay |
The PI3K assay is performed using the Kinase-Glo Max luminescent kinase assay kit which quantifies the amount of ADP produced by the PI3K reaction. In a nutshell, a compound is preincubated with an active PI3K (100 ng) for 5 minutes in kinase reaction buffer (25 mM MOPS [pH 7.0], 5 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM EGTA) and 10 g l-phosphatidylinositol (PI). It is sonicated with sonication buffer (25 mM MOPS [pH 7.0], 1 mM EGTA) in water for 20 minutes prior to adding PI to allow miscelle formation. Then, a reaction is initiated by the addition of 10 mM ATP and run for 180 minutes. A similar volume of Kinase-Glo Max buffer is added to stop the kinase reaction. The GloMax plate reader reads the plates for luminescence detection after 10 minutes has passed.

| Cell Assay |
Cell viability is performed by a MTT assay. In 96-well plates for 24 hours, T47D cells are plated. After the medium has been removed, the cells were exposed to various inhibitor concentrations or DMSO as a control. About ≤0.1% (v/v) of DMSO was the final concentration in the medium. A 20 μL MTT solution (5 mg/mL) is added to each well and the cells are then incubated for an additional 4 h at 37 °C after being incubated for 48 hours. By vigorously shaking the formed formazan crystals for five minutes, 100 μLof DMSO is dissolved in each well. Afterward, a microplate reader reading the plate at 540 nm is used. We conduct each analysis on three replicate wells.

| Animal Protocol |
Male BALB/c mice (4 weeks old, weighing 18–20 g) are kept in a 12 hr dark/light cycle at 21°C and fed standard rat chow and tap water as needed. Panc-1 cells (5×106 cells/mice) are injected into the right flank of the mouse after an adaptation period of one week. The experimental group is given HS-173 (10 mg/kg) intraperitoneally three times a week for 26 days while the control group is given vehicle after the mice have developed an average tumor volume of 50 mm3. Both groups have five mice each. Three times per week, the body weight and tumor size are assessed. Mice are sacrificed at the conclusion of the experiment, and the primary tumor is collected. For Western blot and IHC analysis, tumors are weighed, photographed, and divided into two sections. Tissues are immediately fixed in 4% PFA for an overnight IHC analysis and snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen for a Western blotting analysis.
