Cell lines

Mouse glioma GL261 cell lines, Human glioblastoma (U87-MG) cells

Preparation method

Soluble in DMSO >20.9mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months.

Reacting condition

1 μM, 45min

Applications

Pre-treatment of GL261 and U87-MG cells with 1mM PF-8380 followed by 4 Gy irradiation resulted in decreased clonogenic survival, decreased migration, decreased invasion, and attenuated radiation-inducedAkt(protein kinase B) phosphorylation.

Animal models

Female Lewis rats

Dosage form

10, 30, 100 mg/kg, b.i.d, oral administration

Application

The specific inhibitor PF-8380 provided >95% reduction in both plasma and air pouch LPA (lysophosphatidic acid), indicating autotaxin is a major source of LPA during inflammation. PF-8380 reduced inflammatory hyperalgesia with the similiar efficacy as naproxen.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.

PF-8380 is a potent autotaxin inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.8 nM in isolated enzyme assay and 101 nM in human whole blood.

PF-8380 also inhibits rat autotaxin with an IC50 of 1.16 nM with FS-3 substrate. Potency of PF-8380 is maintained when using enzyme produced from fetal fibroblasts used in combination with lysophosphatidyl choline (LPC) as a substrate. In human whole blood incubated with PF-8380 for 2 h, autotaxin is inhibited with an IC50 of 101 nM[1]. Autotaxin (ATX), an enzyme with lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD) activity, catalyzes the production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) from lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). Pre-treatment of GL261 and U87-MG cells with 1 μM PF-8380 followed by 4 Gy irradiation results in decreased clonogenic survival, decreases migration (33% in GL261; P=0.002 and 17.9% in U87-MG; P=0.012), decreases invasion (35.6% in GL261; P=0.0037 and 31.8% in U87-MG; P=0.002), and attenuates radiation-induced Akt phosphorylation[2].

The pharmacokinetic profile of PF-8380 is evaluated at an intravenous dose of 1 mg/kg and oral doses of 1 to 100 mg/kg out to 24 h. PF-8380 has mean clearance of 31 mL/min/kg, volume of distribution at steady state of 3.2 L/kg, and effective t1/2 of 1.2 h. Oral bioavailability is moderate, ranging from 43 to 83%. Plasma concentrations increased with single oral escalating doses, but Cmax increased at a rate that is approximately proportional to dose from 1 to 10 mg/kg and less than proportional to dose from 10 to 100 mg/kg. PF-8380 exposures estimated by area under the curve are approximately proportional to dose and linear up to 100 mg/kg. Plasma C16:0, C18:0, and C20:0 LPA levels are measured immediately after collection. Maximal reduction of LPA levels is observed by the 3 mg/kg dose at 0.5 h with all LPA returning at or above baseline at 24 h[1]. Treatment with 10 mg/kg PF-8380 increases tumor-associated vascularity modestly by 20% (P=0.497). When compared to control, treatment of PF-8380 45 min before 4 Gy irradiation decreases vascularity by nearly 48% when compared to control (P=0.031) and by 65% when compared to mice that received radiation alone (P=0.011)[2].
