PND-1186 has an IC50 of ~100 nM in breast carcinoma cells as determined by anti-phospho-specific immunoblotting to FAK Tyr-397[1].
In murine 4T1 breast carcinoma cells, FAK is important in promoting an invasive and metastatic cell phenotype. Increasing concentrations of PND-1186 (0.1 to 1.0 μM) added to 4T1 cells inhibits FAK Tyr-397 phosphorylation (pY397) and results in elevated levels of total FAK protein within 1 h[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model:BALB/c mice[1]
-
Dosage:30 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg
-
Administration:Injected (100 µL) subcutaneously in the neck region; every 12 h (twice-daily, b.i.d.) for 5 days.
-
Result:100 mg/kg treatment significantly reduced final 4T1 tumor weight 2-fold whereas 30 mg/kg treatment slightly reduced final tumor weight but was not significantly different compared to control.
