PFK15 produces potent growth inhibition in a series of cancer cells. In Jurkat T-cell leukemia cells and H522 lung adenocarcinoma cells, PFK15 also reduces F26BP, glucose uptake, and intracellular ATP level.
In vivo
In vivo, PFK15 has adequate pharmacokinetic properties. PFK15 (25 mg/kg i.p.) suppresses the growth, metastatic spread, and glucose metabolism of LLC tumors in syngeneic mice. In three human xenograft models of cancer in athymic mice, PFK15 also yields antitumor effects that are comparable to approved chemotherapeutic agents.
