IGF-1R Inhibitors/Agonists

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1 receptor), is a kind of tyrosine kinase receptors activated by IGF-1 is a transmembrane receptor consisting of two alpha-subunits and two transmembrane beta-subunits that are linked by disulfide bonds. The activation of IGF-1 receptors in turn leads to activation of distinct signaling pathways through Grb2, including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), Akt pathway and the Ras, Raf, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, leading to increasing in proliferation and decreased apoptosis. IGF-1 receptor is implicated in tumor and it is also an attractive target for cancer therapy.

S7668 Picropodophyllin (AXL1717) Picropodophyllin (PPP, AXL1717) is a IGF-1R inhibitor with IC50 of 1 nM. It displays selectivity for IGF-1R and does not coinhibit tyrosine phosphorylation the IR, or of a selected panel of receptors less related to IGF-IR(FGF-R, PDGF-R, OR EGF-R). Picropodophyllin (PPP) induces apoptosis with antineoplastic activity.
