Biological Activity

Description Defactinib (VS-6063, PF-04554878) is a selective, and orally active FAK inhibitor. Phase 2.
Targets
FAK [1]
In vitro In taxane-sensitive (SKOV3ip1) and taxane-resistant (SKOV3-TR) cell lines, VS-6063 significantly inhibits pFAK (Tyr397) expression. The combination of VS-6063 and paclitaxel synergistically decreases proliferation and increases apoptosis in SKOV3ip1, SKOV3-TR, HeyA8 and HeyA8-MDR cells. [1] The combination of VS-6063 and Y15 synergistically decreases viability, clonogenicity, and cell attachment in thyroid cancer cell lines. [2]
In vivo In both PTX-sensitive and PTX-resistant models, VS-6063 (50 mg/kg p.o.) enhances tumor growth inhibition by paclitaxel. [1]

Protocol (from reference)
