iMDK is a potent PI3K inhibitor and inhibits the growth factor MDK (also known as midkine or MK). iMDK suppresses non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cooperatively with A MEK inhibitor without harming normal cells and mice[1].
iMDK (50–500 nM) suppressed AKT phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner in H441 lung adenocarcinoma cells after treatment for 72 h. In contrast, iMDK robustly increases p-ERK[1].
The combination treatment of iMDK ( (9 mg/kg/day; intraperitoneally injected with 100 μl) and PD0325901 (5 mg/kg; orally administered) effectively reduced lung tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model[1].
