A-674563 (40 mg/kg/d, p.o.) shows no significant monotherapy activity, but the efficacy of the combination therapy (A-674563+paclitaxel) is significantly improved in the PC-3 prostate cancer xenograft model. A-674563 (20, 100 mg/kg) increases plasma insulin in an oral glucose tolerance test.
A563 (20 mg/kg/bid; p.o.) exhibits slow tumor growth and a significant difference in tumor volume without significant weight loss of mice. A563-treated tumors express increased levels of GADD45α and decreased levels of PCNA (a nuclear marker for proliferation). Additionally, TUNEL assay staining levels (marker for apoptosis) increase in the A563-treated specimens.
A-674563 (25, 100 mg/kg, lavage daily) potently inhibits A375 xenograft growth in mice.
A-674563 (15, 40 mg/kg) injection inhibits U937 xenograft in vivo growth, and improves mice survival.
