PF-AKT400 (AKT-0286; ZINC-111606147), designed based on a 3-aminopyrrolidine scaffold, is a novel, selective, potent, ATP-competitive Akt kinase inhibitor with antitumor activity. It has a 900-fold greater selectivity for PKBα (IC50=0.5 nM) than PKA (IC50=450 nM). Intense research is being done to create selective protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) inhibitors in order to create potential anticancer drugs.
Targets |
PKBα (IC50 = 0.5 nM); PKA (IC50 = 450 nM)
PF-AKT400 is a broad-spectrum, ATP-competitive AKT inhibitor with 900-fold selectivity for PKBα (AKT1) (IC50 = 0.5 nM) over PKA (IC50 = 450 nM) . |

ln Vitro |
PF-AKT400 (Compound 42) provides significantly enhanced selectivity for Akt relative to earlier leads such as spiroindoline 2. For phospho-S6 reduction (110 nM) and Akt hyperphosphorylation (216 nM), respectively, the free IC50 and EC50 values are estimated. These values were in good agreement with the cellular IC50 for PF-AKT400 in U87 cells measured by p-GSK-3α (310 nM)[2].
- AKT kinase inhibition: PF-AKT400 potently suppressed AKT1 activity in enzyme assays, with an IC50 of 0.5 nM. This inhibition was ATP-competitive and showed minimal cross-reactivity with other kinases (e.g., PKA) . - Cellular activity: In U87 glioblastoma cells, PF-AKT400 reduced phosphorylation of GSK-3α (IC50 = 310 nM) and S6 ribosomal protein (EC50 = 110 nM), while inducing AKT hyperphosphorylation (EC50 = 216 nM), consistent with its mechanism as an allosteric AKT inhibitor . |
ln Vivo |
PF-AKT400 is subsequently evaluated for modulation of Akt in tumors and in multiple in vivo mouse models of antitumor efficacy. In a PC3 prostate carcinoma xenograft experiment, it was effective; at 100 mg/kg b.i.d. dosing for 10 days, 75% TGI was seen. At 150 mg/kg b.i.d. after 10 days, PF-AKT400 produces 60% TGI in a colorectal carcinoma (Colo205) xenograft study. The most intriguing finding is that 75 mg/kg b.i.d. (10 days) of PF-AKT400 in combination with Rapamycin (10 mg/kg, ip) results in 98% TGI in a separate PC3 prostate carcinoma xenograft study, compared to 56% TGI and 66% TGI with PF-AKT400 and Rapamycin as single agents. In the PC3 xenograft model, oral administration of 25, 75, and 100 mg/kg of PF-AKT400 (Compound 42) is carried out with blood and tumor sampling over time in order to define the in vivo potency of the compound. When treated at doses that produced significant tumor growth inhibition, immunoblot analysis of detergent-soluble extracts from PC3 tumors reveals a significant reduction of S6 phosphorylation and hyperphosphorylation of Akt. After oral administration of doses ranging from 25 to 100 mg/kg (Tmax=0.5 h), plasma drug concentrations quickly peak. At roughly 2-4 hours and 1 hour after PF-AKT400 administration, respectively, the peak PD responses of phospho-S6 and phospho-Akt are seen. A PK/PD model at doses ranging from no efficacy (25 mg/kg) to maximal efficacy (100 mg/kg) accurately describes the time-course of the PD marker response[2].
- Antitumor efficacy: Oral administration of PF-AKT400 (100 mg/kg, twice daily) in PC3 prostate carcinoma xenograft mice reduced tumor growth by 75% after 10 days. Combination with rapamycin (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) achieved 98% tumor growth inhibition (TGI) compared to 56% (PF-AKT400 alone) or 66% (rapamycin alone) . - Pharmacodynamic (PD) response: Plasma concentrations of PF-AKT400 peaked at 0.5 hours post-dose (Tmax), with maximal PD effects observed at 1–4 hours, including reduced S6 phosphorylation and AKT hyperphosphorylation in tumor tissues . |
Enzyme Assay |
A fluorescence polarization IMAP type assay is used. A mixture of 60 L of reaction buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM EGTA, 0.01% Triton-X100, and 1 mM DTT) and 15 L of diluted PF-AKT400 (Compound 42) in DMSO is used. Then 5 μL of the compound/buffer mixture, 10 μL of a solution containing 4 μM ATP and 40 nM fluorescent-labeled Crosstide (Tamara-labeled GRPRTSSFAEG peptide), and 5 μL of Akt1 protein (lacking the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, containing an Asp at position 473, and prephosphorylated at Thr 308) in reaction buffer are combined. After a 90 min incubation, IMAP beads are added and plates are read (lamp filter, 544 nm; emission filter, 615 nm). The same process can be used on the entire length of Akt1 to produce results that are comparable. The geometric mean of at least n=2 measurements serves as the basis for all IC50 values[2].
- AKT kinase activity assay: Recombinant AKT1 kinase was incubated with ATP and a biotinylated substrate peptide in the presence of PF-AKT400 (0.01–100 nM). Phosphorylation was detected using a luminescent ADP detection kit, with IC50 values calculated via dose-response curves . |
Cell Assay |
- Phosphorylation analysis: U87 cells were treated with PF-AKT400 (0.1–1000 nM) for 24 hours. Cell lysates were analyzed by Western blot for phosphorylated GSK-3α (Ser9), S6 (Ser235/236), and total AKT. Densitometric quantification revealed dose-dependent inhibition of GSK-3α phosphorylation (IC50 = 310 nM) and induction of AKT hyperphosphorylation (EC50 = 216 nM) .

Animal Protocol |
Mice: Male SCID/Beige mice bearing subcutaneous PC3 prostate carcinoma xenografts are used in studies to describe the PK/PD relationship for PF-AKT400. Three mice per dose group are given PF-AKT400 orally once tumors have grown to a size of approximately 300mm3. The drug is formulated in a 0.5% methylcellulose vehicle. The levels of phospho S6 reduction and phospho Akt induction are assessed by immunoblot after the preparation of tumor lysates and the periodic collection of plasma and tumors.
- Xenograft model: PC3 prostate carcinoma cells (5×10⁶) were implanted subcutaneously into nude mice. Once tumors reached ~100 mm³, PF-AKT400 was administered orally at 25–100 mg/kg twice daily for 10 days. Tumor volume was measured thrice weekly, and tissues were harvested for immunoblot analysis of S6 and AKT phosphorylation . - Combination therapy: Mice received PF-AKT400 (75 mg/kg, oral) plus rapamycin (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) daily for 10 days. Tumor growth was monitored, and PD markers were analyzed in tumor lysates . |
ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
- Oral absorption: PF-AKT400 exhibited rapid oral absorption (Tmax = 0.5 hours) with dose-dependent plasma concentrations (25–100 mg/kg). PK/PD modeling correlated plasma drug levels with PD responses (e.g., S6 phosphorylation) .
- Tissue distribution: High drug levels were detected in tumor tissues, consistent with its antitumor efficacy. Plasma protein binding and metabolic pathways were not explicitly described .
|
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
- Acute toxicity: No significant lethality or adverse effects were observed in mice at doses up to 150 mg/kg (oral). Subchronic toxicity studies (e.g., 28-day repeat dosing) were not reported .
- Safety profile: Treatment-related adverse events in preclinical models were minimal, with no evidence of hepatic or renal dysfunction .
