TG100-115 is an orally active selective inhibitor of PI3Kγ (IC50=83nM) and PI3Kδ (IC50=235nM). TG100-115 blocks the VEGF signaling pathway and inhibits mTOR and p70S6 kinase phosphorylation. TG100-115 can be used in research related to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, inflammatory diseases, and asthma[1-4].
In vitro, MDA-MB-231 cells were co-treated with TG100-115 (10μM) and recombinant TRAIL (1-10ng/ml) for 16 hours. TG100-115 did not significantly affect cell proliferation and had no effect on TRAIL-induced apoptosis[5]. MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with TG100-115 (1-50μM) for 27 hours and MDA-MB-468 cells for 48 hours. TG100-115 significantly inhibited cell migration and invasion[6].
In vivo, in a ConA-induced acute hepatitis model in BALB/C mice (6-8 weeks old), TG100-115 (10mg/kg or 50mg/kg; single injection) was administered intraperitoneally 0.5 hours after intravenous injection of ConA (15mg/kg). TG100-115 exacerbated liver injury, increased serum transaminase activity, liver necrosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, hepatocyte apoptosis, and mortality, and increased serum IL-2 levels[7]. In a neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury model in P7 CD1 mice, TG100-115 (1-5mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally 30 minutes before or 1-3 hours after hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI). TG100-115 significantly reduced brain infarct volume and improved brain morphology and functional recovery in mice[8].
