PDK-IN-1 (compound 7o), a pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) inhibitor, exhibits IC50 values of 0.03 and 0.1 μM against PDK1 and HSP90, respectively. This compound effectively targets the PDH/PDK axis, significantly reducing tumor mass [1].

MP7 (PDK1 inhibitor) is an inhibitor of phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1).

Polyphyllin D induces apoptosis via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway as evidenced by decreased Bcl-2 expression levels, disruption of MMP and increased Bax, cytochrome C, and cleaved-caspase-3 levels. Polyphyllin D has an anti-angiogenic effect. Polyphyllin D has toxicity in human RBCs as well as its underlying mechanism for the hemolysis and eryptosis/erythroptosis. Polyphyllin D has strong anticancer activity, can overcome drug resistance in R-HepG2 cells and elicit programmed cell death via mitochondrial dysfunction.

PS-47(PS 47) is an inactive E-isomer of PS48. PS48 is an activator of PDK1.

BX-912 is a specific inhibitor of 3-Phosphoinositide-dependent Kinase-1 (PDK1, IC50: 12 nM). The selectivity of BX-912 is more 10 fold than C-Kit, EGFR, PKA, PKC etc.

PDK4-IN-1 hydrochloride, an anthraquinone derivative, is a potent and orally active inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) with an IC50 value of 84 nM.

PS210 is a potent and selective activator of PDK1 (Kd: 3 μM), specifically targeting the PIF-binding pocket of PDK1 without affecting other protein kinases such as S6K, PKB Akt, or GSK3. Its prodrug, PS423, serves as a substrate-selective inhibitor of PDK1 in cells, inhibiting the phosphorylation and activation of S6K.

BX517 (PDK1 inhibitor 2) is a potent and selective inhibitor of PDK1.

PDK1-IN-RS2 inhibits the activation of the downstream kinases S6K1 by PDK1. PDK1-IN-RS2 is a mimic of the peptide docking motif (PIFtide) and is a substrate-selective PDK1 inhibitor (Kd: 9 μM).

PDK-IN-2 (Compound 1F), with an IC50 of 68 nM, is a potent PDK inhibitor that downregulates the expression of PDK1 and PDK4 in cells. It promotes mitochondrial bioenergetics, reduces glycolytic activity, and triggers apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway. Additionally, PDK-IN-2 has been shown to impede tumor growth in a 4T1 syngeneic mouse model [1].

GSK2334470 is a novel PDK1 inhibitor (IC50: ~10 nM, in a cell-free assay), with no inhibitory at other close related AGC-kinases.

PDK4-IN-1, an anthraquinone derivative, is a potent and orally active inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) with an IC50 value of 84 nM.

VER-246608 is an effective and ATP-competitive inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (IC50s: 35 nM, 40 nM, 84 nM, and 91 nM for PDK-1, PDK-3, PDK-2, and PDK-4, respectively).VER-246608 disrupts Warburg metabolism and induces context-dependent cytosta

BX795 is an effective and selective PDK1 inhibitor (IC50: 6 nM), and its selectivity is 140- and 1600-fold for PDK1 over PKA and PKC in cell-free assays, respectively. Meanwhile, the selectivity for PDK1 is 100-fold than GSK3β.
