Pictilisib (GDC-0941) is a potent inhibitor of PI3Kalpha/delta with an IC₅₀ of 3 nM, with modest selectivity against p110beta (11-fold) and p110gamma (25-fold). IC50 & Target: IC50: 3 nM (PI3Kalpha), 3 nM (PI3Kdelta)^[5] In Vitro: Pictilisib (GDC-0941) and docetaxel reduce tumor cell viability by 80% or greater in the breast cancer cell lines than single-agent treatment. GDC-0941 inhibits Akt phosphorylation and downstream targets of Akt signaling such as pPRAS40 and pS6 in Hs578T1.2 (PI3Kalpha wild-type), MCF7-neo/HER2 (PI3Kalpha-mutant), and MX-1 (PTEN-null) tumor models. Pictilisib (GDC-0941) decreases the time of docetaxel-induced mitotic arrest prior to apoptosis^[1]. Pictilisib (GDC-0941) shows a high efficacy of antitumor activity in two gefitinib-resistant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, A549 and H460. Pictilisib (GDC-0941) is highly efficacious in combination with U0126 in inducing cell growth inhibition, G0-G1 arrest and cell apoptosis. H460 cells with activating mutations of PIK3CA are relatively more sensitive to Pictilisib (GDC-0941) than A549 cells with wild-type PIK3CA^[3]. Pictilisib (GDC-0941) reduces PI3K pathway activity in both cell lines, illustrated by decreased pAK. Pictilisib (GDC-0941) significantly reduces secreted VEGF detected in the medium after hypoxic/anoxic exposure in all cells^[4]. In Vivo: Pictilisib (GDC-0941) (150 mg/kg, p.o.) leads to tumor stasis in MCF7-neo/HER2-bearing animals model. Pictilisib (GDC-0941) and docetaxel result in tumor regressions during the treatment period leading to enhanced antitumor responses^[1]. Tumours in the Pictilisib (GDC-0941)-treated mice show a marked non-linear shrinkage, and when the Pictilisib (GDC-0941) treatment ceased, the tumours in the test cohort mice grow again^[2]. Pictilisib (GDC-0941) (25 or 50 mg/kg) reduces tumor growth and PI3K and HIF-1 pathway activity in eGFP-FTC133 tumor-bearing mice^[4].
