SGI-1776 (free base)

SGI-1776 free base is an inhibitor of Pim kinases, with IC₅₀s of 7 nM, 363 nM, and 69 nM for Pim-1, -2 and -3, respectively. IC50 & Target:Ki: 7 nM (Pim-1), 363 nM (Pim-2), 69 nM (Pim-3)^[4] In Vitro:SGI-1776 free base (2.5, 5 μM) inhibits Pim-1 protein expression and Pim-1 kinase activity in SACC cells. SGI-1776 free base (2.5, 5 μM) causes cell cycle arrest and reduces cell proliferation in SACC-83 and SACC-LM cells^[1].
SGI-1776 free base (5 μM) inhibits cell migration and invasiveness in both SACC-83 and SACC-LM cells. SGI-1776 free base (0, 2.5, or 5 μM) induces apoptosis via Caspase-3 activation^[1].
SGI-1776 free base (5 µM) exerts inhibitory effects on both lipid accumulation and TG synthesis without affecting the number of adipocytes^[2].
SGI-1776 free base (5 µM) inhibits adipogenesis particularly at an early phase of differentiation^[2].
SGI-1776 free base (5 µM) decreases the expression of C/EBP-α and PPAR-γ and the phosphorylation levels of STAT-3 during adipocyte differentiation, and downregulates the protein and/or mRNA expression of FAS, leptin and RANTES during adipocyte differentiation^[2].
SGI-1776 free base shows the significant activity against HO-8910 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with IC₅₀ of (5.2±0.6) µM, and the inhibiting effect of SGI-1776 free base is sharply increased from 1.25 µM to 20 µM in vitro^[3].
SGI-1776 free base inhibits the migration and invasion of HO-8910 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the inhibiting migration and invasion rate of 5 µM^[3].
SGI-1776 free base (2.5, 5 and 10 µM) decreases Pim-1 kinase activity of HO-8910 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the down-regulation of Pim-1 expression by SGI-1776 free base significantly inhibits cell viability, arrests cell in G1 phase, and inhibits the migration and invasion^[3].
In Vivo:SGI-1776 free base (75, 200 mg/kg, p.o.) shows potent and sustained antitumor activity in a dose dependent manner in MV-4-11 xenografts in mice^[4].
