Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a vital role in many oncogenic pathways.1,2 Defactinib is a dose-dependent inhibitor of FAK, with maximal inhibition of FAK autophosphorylation in cells achieved at 10 μM.3 It is less effective against the related kinase PYK2. Defactinib restores the chemosensitivity of taxane-resistant cells to paclitaxel (Item No. 10461), although it is not cytotoxic alone.3 Defactinib decreases YB-1 phosphorylation and nuclear accumulation in an Akt-dependent manner. It is orally bioavailable, inhibiting FAK and augmenting paclitaxel action in suppressing the growth and number of ovarian cancer cell tumors in mice.3 | [Uses]
Defactinib is a selective and orally active FAK inhibitor phase 2. Used in treating cancer patients as it decreases proliferation and increases apoptosis. | [in vivo]
Defactinib (VS-6063) doses of 25 mg/kg twice a day or greater statistically significantly inhibits pFAK (Tyr397) at 3 hours, with return of expression noted by 24 hours. Therefore, administration of Defactinib at 25 mg/kg twice a day is selected as the dosing schedule for subsequent therapy experiments. For therapy experiments, female nude mice bearing HeyA8 tumors in the peritoneal cavity are randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 per group): 1) vehicle orally twice daily and phosphate-buffered saline intraperitoneally weekly (control); 2) Defactinib 25 mg/kg orally twice daily; 3) PTX intraperitoneally weekly; and 4) both VDefactinib 25 mg/kg orally twice daily and PTX intraperitoneally weekly. There is an 87.4% reduction in tumor weight by PTX monotherapy in the HeyA8 model, and combination therapy resulted in the greatest tumor weight reduction, with a 97.9% reduction (P=0.05 compared with PTX). In the SKOV3ip1 model, a 92.7% tumor weight reduction is observed in the combination group compared with PTX (P<0.001)[1]. | [storage]
