Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Perifosine is an orally active alkyl-phosphocholine compound with potential antineoplastic activity. Targeting cellular membranes, perifosine modulates membrane permeability, membrane lipid composition, phospholipid metabolism, and mitogenic signal transduction, resulting in cell differentiation and inhibition of cell growth. This agent also inhibits the anti-apoptotic mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and modulates the balance between the MAPK and pro-apoptotic stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK/JNK) pathways, thereby inducing apoptosis. Perifosine has a lower gastrointestinal toxicity profile than the related agent miltefosine.

More Info
Perifosine is being developed by Keryx Biopharmaceuticals who have licenced it from Æterna Zentaris Inc. In 2010 perifosine has reached phase II. In one phase II trial for metastatic colon cancer perifosine doubled time to progression. In 2011 it was in a phase III trial for colorectal cancer, and another for multiple myeloma. Perifosine has orphan drug status in the U.S. for the treatment of multiple myeloma and neuroblastoma, and for multiple myeloma in the EU. [source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perifosine ].        
Biological target:
Perifosine is an oral Akt inhibitor which inhibits proliferation of different tumor cell lines with IC50s of 0.6-8.9 μM.
In vitro activity:
Perifosine significantly inhibited RMS (Rhabdomyosarcoma) cell growth in concentration- and time-dependent manners. Meanwhile, perifosine induced dramatic apoptosis in RMS cells. At the signaling level, perifosine blocked AKT activation, while inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production as well as JNK and P38 phosphorylations in RMS cells.

In vivo activity:
Rats pretreated with vehicle or perifosine were monitored for spontaneous seizures from week 1 to week 6 after KA (kainic acid) induced status epilepticus. All the vehicle-treated rats developed spontaneous seizures, with an average of 1.5 ± 0.3 seizures/24 h in week 1 and 3.8 ± 0.5 in week 6. In contrast, the perifosine-pretreated rats had a low frequency of 0.5 ± 0.1 seizures/24 h from week 1 to week 6 (F = 3.124, P < 0.05, Fig. 5B).
