| Targets |
PKUMDL-WQ-2101 targets phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH). PHGDH is the first enzyme in the serine biosynthesis pathway, catalyzing the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate to 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate. Many cancer cells are dependent on de novo serine synthesis for growth and survival, making PHGDH a promising anticancer target. PKUMDL-WQ-2101 is a non-NAD+-competing allosteric inhibitor that binds to allosteric site I, inhibiting the enzyme without competing with its NAD+ cofactor.

| ln Vitro |
At micromolar concentrations, PKUMDL-WQ-2101 (72 hours) demonstrated a dose-dependent decrease of cell viability and demonstrated an excellent coupling to PHGDH-positive breast cancer cell lines. In two PHGDH-containing breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-468 and HCC70), PKUMDL-WQ-2101 demonstrated anti-tumor activity of 7.70 μM and 10.8 μM, respectively [1]. Similar to PHGDH gene deletion, PKUMDL-WQ-2101 (2.5–40 μM; 24 hours) reduces de novo serine synthesis and consumption downstream of serine synthesis through the MDA-MB PKUMDL-WQ-2101 (37 μM; 24 hours) route [1]. Marketing of -468 cells in the cell cycle[1]. [1]
PKUMDL-WQ-2101 demonstrates potent inhibition of PHGDH enzyme activity with an IC50 of 34.8 μM. It is a non-NAD+-competing allosteric inhibitor, meaning it binds to an allosteric site rather than the active site. The compound exhibits antitumor activity in vitro in breast cancer cell lines overexpressing PHGDH, with EC50 values of 7.7 and 10.8 μM in MDA-MB-468 and HCC-70 cells, respectively. It selectively inhibits de novo serine synthesis in cancer cells. |
| ln Vivo |
In nude mice with MDA-361 human breast cancer tumors, PKI-179 (5–50 mg/kg; administered orally once day for 40 days) suppresses tumor growth and is well tolerated [1]. PKI-179 (50 mg/kg; oral) has positive inhibitory effects on PI3K signaling in mice that are not wearing any clothes and have MDA361 tumor xenograft tumors [1]. PKI-179 has a lengthy half-life (>60 minutes) and good oral bioavailability (98% in naked mice, 46% in rats, 38% in monkeys, and 61% in dogs) [1].
PKUMDL-WQ-2101 demonstrates in vivo antitumor activity. It reduces tumor growth in vivo. The compound's ability to inhibit PHGDH and reduce serine synthesis translates to anticancer efficacy in animal models. It selectively targets cancer cells that are dependent on de novo serine synthesis. Detailed in vivo efficacy data are limited in publicly available sources. The compound is a valuable tool for studying PHGDH biology and its role in cancer metabolism. |
| Enzyme Assay |
PHGDH enzyme inhibition assays are performed using recombinant human PHGDH enzyme. The enzyme is incubated with the substrate 3-phosphoglycerate and the cofactor NAD+ in assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 100 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT). The reaction is incubated at 37°C for 30-60 minutes. The product 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate is detected by coupling to a diaphorase/resazurin system or by HPLC. Test compounds are serially diluted and added to the reaction mixture. IC50 values are determined by non-linear regression analysis. Each concentration is tested in duplicate. The allosteric mechanism is confirmed by NAD+ competition studies.

Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: MDA-MB-468 Cell Tested Concentrations: 2.5 μM, 5.0 μM, 20 μM and 40 μM Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Causes cell cycle arrest. Cellular PHGDH inhibition is evaluated in breast cancer cell lines overexpressing PHGDH (e.g., MDA-MB-468, HCC-70). Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO2 and treated with PKUMDL-WQ-2101 at various concentrations (1-100 μM) for 24-72 hours. De novo serine synthesis is measured by tracing [13C]-glucose or [13C]-glutamine incorporation into serine using LC-MS. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. Proliferation and apoptosis are evaluated. Each experiment includes known PHGDH inhibitors as positive controls and vehicle controls. |
