PF-9363 is a potent, selective, orally bioavailable KAT6A/B inhibitor with Ki values of 0.27nM and 2.4nM, respectively [1]. PF-9363 targets KAT6A/B to cause the overall loss of H3K27ac and leads to the transcriptional downregulation of genes involved in the estrogen signaling pathway, cell cycle, E2F pathway, MYC signaling pathway, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition[2]. PF-9363 has been widely used to inhibit the growth of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer cells and to prevent tumor progression in xenograft models[3].
In vitro, PF-9363 treatment (20μM) for 14 days significantly inhibited the growth of MOLM-13 cells and reduced the abundance of H3K23ac[4]. PF-9363 (1 μM) was applied to mouse ovarian tissues for 4 days, which significantly inhibited the activation of primordial follicles, reduced the number of primordial follicles, decreased the activity of the mTOR signaling pathway, and led to an increase in the accumulation of FOXO3a in the cell nucleus[5].
In vivo, PF-9363 treatment via daily intragastric administration at a dose of 5mg/kg for 28 days significantly inhibited the tumor volume in the neuroblastoma xenograft model of NSG mice[6]. Oral administration 1mg/kg of PF-9363 every day for 3 weeks significantly inhibited the growth of Phf6 mutant-driven leukemia cells in mice, and prolonged the survival time of mice that received transplanted Phf6R274X leukemia cells[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | MOLM-13 cells |
Preparation Method | MOLM-13 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin-streptomycin at 37℃ in the presence of 5% CO2. MOLM-13 cells were plated at a density of 2×104 cells/well in 96-well plate with growth medium for 24h, and then were incubated with the different concentrations of PF-9363 (0, 5, 10 and 20µM) for 14 days, then analyzed the cell viability. |
Reaction Conditions | 0, 5, 10 and 20µM; 14 days |
Applications | PF-9363 treatment significantly reduced the cell viability of MOLM-13 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | NSG mice |
Preparation Method | NSG mice were housed in temperature (23±2°C) and light-controlled (12:12-hour light-dark cycle) animal care facility with food and tap water ad libitum. HPB-ALL cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium and were xenografted into NSG mice by subcutaneous injection into the lower flank. When the tumors reached a volume of 200-250mm3, the mice were randomized into 2 groups that received either vehicle or 1mg/kg/day PF-9363 treatment by gavage. Tumor diameters were measured with digital calipers twice a week and the mice were sacrificed three-weeks after treatment. Tumor volume (mm3) was calculated using the formula: Volume = (width)2 × length/2. |
Dosage form | 1mg/kg/day for 3 weeks; p.o. |
Applications | PF-9363 treatment reduced the tumor size in HPB-ALL-bearing mice. |
