PF-4989216 significantly inhibits cell viability in SCLC cells with a PIK3CA mutation, such as NCI-H69, NCI-H1048, and Lu99A cells. PF-4989216, via PI3K signaling inhibition, blocks cell-cycle progression and reduces cell transformation in SCLCs. In SCLCs with PIK3CA mutation, PF-4989216 induces BIM-mediated apoptosis.
In vivo
In SCID mice bearing NCI-H69 or NCI-H1048 xenograft tumors, PF-4989216 (350 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibits PI3K phosphorylation signaling and induces antitumor activity.
