General description

A cell-permeable dipyridinyl-propenone compound that selectively blocks PFK-2 (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase) activity of PFKFB3 isozyme over PFK-1(6-phosphofructo-1-kinase) in a mixed-mode manner. Rapidly decreases fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F-2,6-P2) and 2-deoxyglucose uptake, and lactate secretion; efficiently arrests proliferation of transformed cells (IC50 ~ 1.4 µM in NHBE-ht/LT/ras) and suppresses tumor growth in several xenograft mouse models (70 mg/kg, i.p.). The cytostatic and cytotoxic effects of 3PO is shown to be highly sensitive to the intracellular levels of F-6-P (fructose-6-phosphate) and F-2,6-P2.

6-phosphofructo-1-kinase, a rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis, is activated in neoplastic cells by fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-BP), a product of four 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase isozymes (PFKFB1-4). The inducible PFKFB3 isozyme is constitutively expressed by neoplastic cells and required for the high glycolytic rate and anchorage-independent

Neutrophils rely predominantly on glycolytic metabolism for their biological functions, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Although pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a glycolytic enzyme known to be involved in metabolic reprogramming and gene transcription in many immune cell types

Endothelial cells exposed to laminar shear stress express a thick glycocalyx on their surface that plays an important role in reducing vascular permeability and endothelial anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and antiangiogenic properties. Production and maintenance of this glycocalyx layer is dependent on
