In vitro study | Perifosine inhibits proliferation of immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) and head and neck squamous carcinoma cells with an IC50 of 0.6-8.9 μm. Perifosine strongly reduces phosphorylation levels of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, inducing cell cycle arrest in G1 and G2, and induced dose-dependent growth inhibition of glial progenitor cells in mice. Perifosine (10 μm) completely inhibited phosphorylation of Akt in MM.1S cells. A recent study showed that Perifosine induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human hepatoma cells by blocking the phosphorylation of Akt.

In vivo study | The combination of Perifosine and temozolomide reduces tumor proliferation in vivo (PDGF drives glioma development). The results suggest that Perifosine is an effective drug for inhibiting glioma and may be a candidate for the treatment of glioma in which Akt and the Ras-ERK1/2 pathway are frequently activated. Daily and weekly doses of Perifosine significantly reduced the growth of human MM tumors and improved survival compared to PBS-treated control animals. Perifosine induces thrombocytopenia and leukocytosis, increases bone marrow and spleen of myeloid mice, and it causes apoptosis in transplanted myeloma.

biological activity | Perifosine (KRX-0401) is a new type of Akt inhibitor with IC50 of 4.7 μM, targeting the pleckstrin homology (PH) region of Akt. Phase 3. Perifosine (KRX-0401, NSC639966, D21266) is a new Akt inhibitor with IC50 of 4.7 μM in MM.1S cells, targeting the pleckstrin homology domain of Akt. Phase 3. |
in vitro study | Perifosine inhibit the proliferation of immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) and head and neck squamous cancer cells, IC50 is 0.6-8.9 μM. Perifosine tried to reduce the phosphorylation level of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, induced cell cycle arrest in G1 and G2, and induced dose-dependent growth inhibition of glial progenitor cells in mice. Perifosine (10 μM) completely inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt in MM.1S cells. A recent study showed that Perifosine induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human liver cancer cells by blocking Akt phosphorylation.
