Description
PIK-75 is a selective inhibitor of p110α, an isoform of PI3K. When combined with gemcitabine, PIK-75 reduced NRF2 protein levels, augmenting the antitumor effect of gemcitabine in human pancreatic cancer cell lines. PIK-75 was chosen over several other PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitors and used with the Braf inhibitor vemurafenib in models of advanced melanoma.
