PF-562271 mesylate
Based on 30 publication(s) in Google Scholar
PF-562271 mesylate (VS-6062 mesylate) is an orally active, ATP-competitive, reversible FAK/Pyk2 inhibitor, with an IC50 of 1.5 nM for FAK and 13 nM for Pyk2. PF-562271 mesylate induces tumor regression, and inhibits tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. PF-562271 mesylate exerts no effect on tumor necrosis, angiogenesis or apoptosis in an orthotopic mouse model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. When combined with Sunitinib (HY-10255A), PF-562271 mesylate reduces tumor vascularization, decreases serum alpha-fetoprotein levels and improves cachexia. PF-562271 mesylate can be used in research related to prostate cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, glioblastoma, lung cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Biological Activity
PF-562271 mesylate potently inhibits purified recombinant FAK (with an IC50 of 1.5 nM) and recombinant Pyk2 (with an IC50 of 13 nM) via ATP-competitive reversible binding[1].
PF-562271 mesylate exhibits over 100-fold selectivity against most tested non-target recombinant kinases, and only shows moderate activity against a subset of cyclin-dependent kinase complexes[1].
PF-562271 (starting concentration of 1 μM; 30 min) mesylate potently and suppresses the autophosphorylation of FAKY397 in A431 epithelial cancer cells with an IC50 of 5 nM[1].
PF-562271 (1.1-3.3 μM; 48 h) mesylate alters the cell cycle progression of PC-3M cells only after incubation at the high concentration of 3.3 μM for 48 h[1].
PF-562271 mesylate is an ATP-competitive reversible inhibitor that potently inhibits the kinase activities of purified recombinant FAK (IC50 = 1.5 nM) and PYK2 (IC50 = 14 nM)[2].
PF-562271 (0.1 μM) mesylate significantly inhibits IGF-I-stimulated chemotactic migration of the PDA cell line MPanc-96, but does not affect EGF-stimulated migration of this cell line[2].

PF-562271 (25-50 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily, twice daily; 15 days) mesylate induces dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition in PC-3M xenografts. The efficacy of twice-daily administration is superior to that of once-daily administration at the same total daily dose, and the dose of 50 mg/kg twice daily achieves a TGI of 78% accompanied by partial tumor regression[1].
PF-562271 (50-100 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily, once daily; continuous delivery via osmotic minipump) mesylate induces significant tumor growth inhibition in BxPc3 xenografts, with the 50 mg/kg twice daily dose achieving 86% TGI and partial tumor regression[1].
PF-562271 (12.5-50 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; for 29 consecutive days) mesylate induces dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition in BT474 xenografts, with the 50 mg/kg twice-daily dose achieving a 94% TGI accompanied by partial tumor regression[1].
PF-562271 (33 mg/kg; twice daily) mesylate reduces tumor volume, decreases tumor cell proliferation rate, and significantly lowers the incidence of retroperitoneal invasion and metastasis of orthotopic MPanc-96 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in athymic nude mice[2].
Combination treatment with PF-562271 (15 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; 7 days per week) mesylate and Sunitinib (HY-10255A) administered at 20 mg/kg four times daily effectively inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumor growth in nude mice, reduces serum AFP and AST levels, impairs tumor angiogenesis, and induces tumor necrosis[3].
