Popis: D-myo-Inositol 4-(hexadecyloxy)-3(S)-methoxybutanephosphonate (C4-PI), a water soluble isosteric phosphonate analog of phosphatidylinositol (PI) that is not a substrate of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C isozymes, was synthesized and was found to be phosphorylated by phosphatidyl-inositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activity immunoprecipitated from insulin-stimulated cells. The extent of phosphorylation of C4-PI was similar to or greater than that of phosphatidylinositol, especially at higher concentrations. Since C4-PI is very water soluble, it is an attractive tool for assaying PI kinases in vitro as no detergent or sonication is required in contrast to assays with the long-chain PI which forms micelles. The extent of phosphorylation of C4-PI was similar or greater than that of PI, especially at higher concentrations. C4-PI was, at best, a poor inhibitor of of PI 3-kinase activity (IC50 > 150 µM). C4-PI exhibited antiproliferative properties against the neuroblastoma cell lines SK-N-SH ...
