Figure 5. OP449 is a potent inhibitor of PI3K-Akt signaling and castration resistant prostate cancer progression.

Figure 5

(a) Pten deficient murine prostate cancer cells (CaP8) show poor responsiveness to escalating doses of enzalutamide, IC50 = 22.84 (μM), but are (b,c) highly sensitive to OP449 (CaP8 IC50 = 0.42 μM, Myc-CaP IC50 = 0.9 μM). (d) OP449 is a potent inhibitor of PI3K/Akt signaling in Pten deficient murine prostate cancer (CaP8) cells. In vitro treatment (8 hours) with OP449 reduced PI3K-Akt signaling in CaP8 cells corresponding with (e) reduced in vivo PI3K-Akt signaling and CRPC progression in Pten mutant prostates (Pb-Cre+;PtenL/L, castrate) (OP449 10 mg/kg, SQ, q.a.d., commenced at 6 wks). (f) Proliferating (Ki67+) cells were reduced (p < 0.01) in OP449 treated mutants.
