Linsitinib
Linsitinib (CAS 867160-71-2), also known as OSI-906, is a small-molecule inhibitor targeting both insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) kinases. It exhibits potent inhibitory effects, with IC50 values of 75 nM against IR and 35 nM against IGF-1R. In vitro studies using the 3T3/hulGF-1R (LISN) cell line demonstrate that Linsitinib inhibits IGF-1R ligand-dependent autophosphorylation and downstream signaling via pERK1/2, pAKT, and p-p70S6K. It shows antiproliferative activity across multiple cancer cell lines and exhibits dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition in LISN xenograft animal models, supporting its utility in oncology research.

Applications |
All 6HCCcell lines showed higher IR phosphorylation than IGF-1R, suggesting the significance of IR activity in HCC. Furthermore, all 3 HCC cell lines (HepG2, Hep3B, and HuH-7) that are sensitive to OSI-906 had much higher phosphorylation levels of both IGF-1R and IR than insensitive cell lines. This suggests that sensitivity to OSI-906 associates with activation of both IGF-1R and IR in HCC cell lines. |

Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
