Ki16425 (Synonyms: Debio 0719)

Ki16425 is a subtype-selective antagonist of lysophosphatidic acid receptor (LPA) with Ki values of 0.34 μM for LPA1, 6.5μM for LPA2, and 0.93μM for LPA3 [4].

It has been reported that Ki16425 inhibited the LPA receptor-mediated actions in the order of LPA1≥LPA3≥LPA2. Ki16425 inhibited LPA-induced guanosine 5’-O-(3-thio) triphosphate binding, membrane fractions binding, and was involved in the long-term responses, including DNA synthesis and cell migration [1]. Ki16425 attenuated LPA-mediated intracellular signaling and invasion responses in vitro. Co-treatment of Ki16425 and sunitinib prolonged the sensitivity of renal tumor cell to sunitinib in xenograft mouse models [3]. In human breast cancer cells, Ki16425 can inhibit heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) expression [4].

In mouse thoracic aorta, Ki16425 significantly reduced LPA-induced vasorelaxation [2]. Ki16425 treatment also blocked renal tumorigenesis in vivo [3]. A five-day treatment with Ki16425 significantly decreased both HB-EGF mRNA expression at the transplanted tumor site in mice and circulating human HB-EGF concentrations in serum [4].
