Description

Wortmannin, a steroid metabolite of the fungi Penicillium funiculosum, Talaromyces (Penicillium) wortmannii, is a specific, covalent inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) and Polo-Like kinase 1 (PLK1). It has an in vitro inhibitory concentration (IC50) of around 5 nM, making it a more potent inhibitor than LY294002, another commonly used PI3K inhibitor. Wortmannin has also been reported to inhibit members of the polo-like kinase family with IC50 in the same range as for PI3K.

How to use

In Vitro:

Wortmannin (0-100 nM; 24-72 hours) inhibits the proliferation of K562 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The IC50 values at 24 hour, 48 hour, and 72 hour are 25±0.10 nM, 12.5±0.08 nM, and 6.25±0.11 nM, respectively[4]. Wortmannin prevents nuclear entry of YAP[6].

In Vivo:

Wortmannin (oral gavage; daily; in Scid mice; one group of eight mice is dosed with Wortmannin 1 mg/kg for all 14 days. The second group of eight mice is dosed with Wortmannin 1.5 mg/kg for the first 5 days and the dose is decreased to 1 mg/kg for the remaining treatment period) treatment significantly slower the growth rate of murine C3H mammary tumor and human MCF-7 breast cancer xenograft. A dose of 1 mg/kg Wortmannin for 7 days decrease the tumor burdens in mice with established murine C3H mammary tumors by 54% relative to controls. Human MCF-7 breast cancer xenograft burdens are decreased by 97% relative to controls after 14 days of 1 mg/kg Wortmannin beginning 1 day after tumor implantation[5].
