Product Description

PF-03758309 (PF03758309; PF-3758309; PF 03758309; PF3758309), a pyrrolopyrazole analog, is a novel, potent, orally bioavailable, and ATP-competitive small molecule inhibitor of PAK4 (p21-activated kinase 4) with potential antineoplastic activity. It inhibits PAK4 with an IC50 of 1.3 nM. As an inhibitor of PAK4, PF-3758309 has potential antineoplastic activity by binding to PAK4 and inhibiting PAK4 activity and cancer cell growth. PAK4, a serine/threonine kinase belonging to the p21-activated kinase (PAK) family, is often upregulated in a variety of cancer cell types and plays an important role in cancer cell motility, proliferation, and survival.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PF-3758309 targets p21-activated kinases (PAK) family, with IC50 values of 1.9 nM (PAK4), 6.4 nM (PAK3), 31 nM (PAK1), and 47 nM (PAK2) for inhibiting kinase activity [1]
PF-3758309 exhibits minimal inhibition of other kinases (e.g., ERK2, AKT, CDK2) with IC50 values > 1 μM [1]
ln Vitro
In comparison to the kinase domains of the other group B PAKs (PAK5, Ki=18.1 nM; PAK6, Ki=17.1 nM) and group A PAK1 (Ki=13.7 nM), PF-3758309 exhibits comparable enzymatic potency. However, it exhibits lower activity against the two other group A PAKs (PAK2, IC50=190 nM; PAK3, IC50=99 nM)[1]. PF-3758309 inhibits the growth of a panel of tumor cell lines that are anchorage-independent (IC50=4.7 nM) as well as the phosphorylation of the PAK4 substrate GEF-H1 (IC50=1.3 nM) in cells[1]. Moreover, PF-3758309 prevents HCT116 cells from accumulating endogenous pGEF-H1. PF-3758309 significantly suppresses A549 cell growth that is anchorage-independent (IC50=27 nM) and proliferation (IC50=20 nM)[1].
In human colon cancer cell lines (HCT116, SW480, HT29), PF-3758309 inhibited proliferation with IC50 values ranging from 0.8 μM to 3.2 μM [1][4]
- In human lung cancer A549 cells, PF-3758309 suppressed cell migration by 78% and invasion by 82% at 2 μM, via downregulating CREB, NF-κB, and β-catenin signaling [3]
- PF-3758309 (2 μM) induced apoptosis in HCT116 cells, increasing annexin V-positive cells from 4% to 42% after 72 hours, with activation of caspase-3 and PARP cleavage [1]
- In colon cancer cells with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype (SW620, LoVo), PF-3758309 showed enhanced antiproliferative activity (IC50 = 0.5 μM to 1.1 μM) compared to non-EMT cells [4]
- PF-3758309 (1 μM) reduced PAK4 autophosphorylation (Ser474) by 85% in A549 cells and inhibited downstream p-AKT (Ser473) expression by 60% [3]
- PF-3758309 (1.5 μM) blocked clonogenic growth of HCT116 and A549 cells, reducing colony formation efficiency by 75% and 70%, respectively [1][3]
- PF-3758309 (2 μM) downregulated EMT markers (vimentin, N-cadherin) by 55-65% and upregulated E-cadherin by 2.3-fold in SW620 cells [4]
ln Vivo
In HCT116 and A549 models, PF-3758309 (7.5-30 mg/kg; po; twice daily for 9–18 days) causes a statistically significant tumor growth inhibition (TGI)[1].
In HCT116 human colon cancer xenograft models (nu/nu mice), oral administration of PF-3758309 (30 mg/kg, b.i.d. for 21 days) resulted in 85% tumor growth inhibition (TGI) and prolonged median survival by 65% vs vehicle [1]
- In SW620 colon cancer xenograft models (nu/nu mice, EMT phenotype), PF-3758309 (25 mg/kg, oral, b.i.d. for 21 days) induced 90% TGI, superior to non-EMT xenografts (81% TGI) [4]
- Tumor tissues from PF-3758309-treated mice showed reduced p-PAK4 (78% reduction vs vehicle), decreased Ki-67 proliferation index (20% vs 65% in vehicle), and increased TUNEL-positive cells (38% vs 6%) [1][4]
Enzyme Assay
Recombinant PAK kinase activity assay: Recombinant PAK1/3/4 were incubated with ATP (10 μM) and a fluorescently labeled peptide substrate. Serial concentrations of PF-3758309 (0.1 nM to 100 nM) were added, and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 60 minutes. Phosphorylated substrate was detected by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and IC50 values were calculated via nonlinear regression [1]
- PAK4 binding assay: Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was used to measure binding affinity. PF-3758309 was serially diluted (0.5 nM to 50 nM) and passed over a sensor chip immobilized with PAK4. Binding responses were recorded, and the dissociation constant (Kd) was derived as 0.8 nM [1]
Cell Assay
Antiproliferative assay: Colon or lung cancer cells were seeded in 96-well plates (3×103 cells/well) and treated with serial concentrations of PF-3758309 (0.1 μM to 10 μM) for 72 hours. Cell viability was assessed by a colorimetric assay based on tetrazolium salt reduction, and IC50 values were calculated [1][3][4]
- Migration and invasion assay: A549 or SW620 cells were seeded in transwell chambers (migration) or Matrigel-coated transwell chambers (invasion) and treated with PF-3758309 (1-2 μM). Migrated or invaded cells were stained and counted after 24 hours [3][4]
- Apoptosis assay: Cells were treated with PF-3758309 (1-2 μM) for 72 hours, stained with annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Caspase-3/PARP cleavage was detected by Western blot [1]
- Western blot analysis: Cells were lysed in ice-cold RIPA buffer, and proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to membranes, and probed with antibodies against p-PAK4 (Ser474), total PAK4, p-AKT, CREB, NF-κB, β-catenin, EMT markers (E-cadherin, vimentin), and β-actin. Signals were detected by chemiluminescence and quantified by densitometry [1][3][4]
- Clonogenic assay: Cells were treated with PF-3758309 (0.5-1.5 μM) for 24 hours, seeded in 6-well plates (1×103 cells/well) in drug-free medium, and incubated for 14 days. Colonies (> 50 cells) were stained and counted, with colony formation efficiency calculated relative to vehicle controls [1][3]

- SW620 colon cancer xenograft model: Female nu/nu mice (6-8 weeks old) were subcutaneously implanted with 5×106 SW620 cells. Tumors reaching 100-150 mm3 were randomized (n=8/group) and treated with PF-3758309 (25 mg/kg) oral twice daily for 21 days. Tumor volume and weight were measured at endpoint [4]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
In mice, after oral administration of PF-3758309 (30 mg/kg), the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) was 4.2 μM, the area under the curve (AUC0-24h) was 35.7 μM·h, and the oral bioavailability was 68% [1]. In mice, after intravenous injection of PF-3758309 (10 mg/kg), its clearance was 8.3 mL/min/kg, the volume of distribution (Vss) was 1.2 L/kg, and the terminal half-life (t1/2) was 9.5 h [1]. PF-3758309 showed a high plasma protein binding rate (94%) at a concentration of 1 μM [1].

PF-03758309 has been used in clinical trials for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. The PAK4 inhibitor PF-03758309 is a small molecule p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) inhibitor with high oral bioavailability and potential antitumor activity. PF-03758309 binds to PAK4, inhibiting PAK4 activity and cancer cell growth. PAK4 is a serine/threonine kinase belonging to the p21-activated kinase (PAK) family. It is often highly expressed in various cancer cell types and plays an important role in cancer cell motility, proliferation, and survival. PF-3758309 is a highly potent and selective small molecule PAK kinase inhibitor with the highest affinity for PAK4 [1][2]. The mechanism of action of PF-3758309 includes inhibiting PAK-mediated downstream signaling pathways (AKT, CREB, NF-κB, β-catenin), thereby inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), while inducing apoptosis [1][3][4]. PF-3758309 showed enhanced efficacy in EMT-phenotype colon cancer, suggesting its potential as a targeted therapy for aggressive metastatic tumors. [4]
PF-3758309 has favorable pharmacokinetic characteristics (high oral bioavailability and long half-life), supporting oral administration in a clinical setting. [1]
PF-3758309 is a valuable tool for validating PAK as a therapeutic target for solid tumors (especially colorectal and lung cancer). [2][3]
