Description of PI-103

PI-103 is a potent cell-permeable multi-target inhibitor that primarily acts on the PI3K and mTOR signaling pathways[1]. PI-103 inhibits PI3K subtypes p110α (8nM), p110β (88nM), p110δ (48nM), and p110γ (158nM), as well as mTOR complexes mTORC1 (20nM) and mTORC2 (83nM), while simultaneously inhibiting DNA-PK activity (2nM)[2]. PI-103 can induce mitochondrial apoptosis and autophagy in cells[3]. PI-103 can restore the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy[4].

In vitro, pretreatment of Dalton's lymphoma ascites (DLA) cells with PI-103 (10μM) for 24 hours, followed by stimulation with H₂O₂ (1mM) for 30 minutes, significantly inhibited the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and induced apoptosis, while reducing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS)[5]. Pretreatment of Huh7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells with PI-103 (2μM) for 1 hour, followed by stimulation with EGF (2.5nM) for 15 minutes, significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of key proteins in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and blocked EGF-stimulated cell proliferation[6].

In vivo, intraperitoneal injection of PI-103 (10mg/kg) combined with olaparib (10mg/kg) three times per week, used to treat mouse models implanted with MDA-MB-435S cells for 2 weeks followed by radiotherapy (3Gy per fraction), significantly enhanced the inhibitory effect of radiotherapy on triple-negative breast cancer xenografts[7]. Daily intraperitoneal injection of PI-103 (10mg/kg or 70mg/kg) in FVB/N mice for 8 days to several weeks significantly promoted the growth of melanoma xenografts, while inhibiting thymocyte count and inducing immunosuppression[8].

Protocol of PI-103

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Huh7 cells (human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line)

Preparation Method

Huh7 cells were maintained in Dulbecco's minimal essential medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C, 5% CO₂. Cells were treated with PI-103 (2μM) at specified concentrations for designated time periods prior to epidermal growth factor (EGF; 2.5μM) stimulation or irradiation.

Reaction Conditions

2μM; 1h pretreatment

Applications

PI-103 significantly inhibited EGF-stimulated phosphorylation of mTOR (Ser2448, 45% inhibition), S6K (Thr389, 87% inhibition), and AKT (Ser473, 88% inhibition), indicating potent dual inhibition of both mTORC1 and mTORC2 activity.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Nude mice

Preparation Method

Mice were implanted subcutaneously with MDA-MB-435S cells transfected with pGL4 luciferase reporter vector. One week after implantation, mice were treated with intraperitoneal administration of PI-103 (10mg/kg) alone or in combination with Olaparib (10mg/kg) three times weekly for 2 weeks, followed by irradiation (3Gy per fraction, three times weekly). Mice were observed for 2 weeks post-treatment and analyzed via bioluminescence imaging.

Dosage form

10mg/kg; i.p.

Applications

Combined treatment with PI-103 and Olaparib significantly reduced tumor volume compared to radiation alone, demonstrating enhanced radiosensitization in triple-negative breast cancer xenografts. PI-103 alone showed synergistic effects with Olaparib in blocking tumor growth post-irradiation.
