Biological Activity for 3PO

3PO is originally reported to inhibit PFKFB3 (IC₅₀ = 25 μM). More recent reports failed to demonstrate activity in a PFKFB3 kinase assay. Reduces glycolytic flux and suppresses glucose uptake. Inhibits endothelial cell proliferation and causes G₂/M cell cycle arrest in vitro. Attenuates vessel sprouting and tumor growth in vivo. Amplifies the antiangiogenic effect of VEGFR blockade.
