| Targets |
PKUMDL-WQ-2201 targets phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the de novo serine synthesis pathway. PHGDH catalyzes the conversion of 3-phosphoglycerate to 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate, a key step in serine biosynthesis. PKUMDL-WQ-2201 is a non-NAD+-competing allosteric inhibitor of PHGDH with an IC50 of 35.7 μM. It binds to site II of the enzyme. By inhibiting PHGDH, the compound reduces serine synthesis in cancer cells, which is particularly important for tumors that are dependent on de novo serine synthesis for growth and survival.

| ln Vitro |
With EC50 values of 7.7 μM (MDA-MB-468) and 10.8 μM (HCC70), PKUMDL-WQ-2201 (10 nM-100 μM; 3 d) exhibits excellent localization and inhibitory effects on PHGDH in breast cancer cell lines [1].
In vitro, PKUMDL-WQ-2201 is a potent and selective non-NAD+-competing allosteric inhibitor of PHGDH with an IC50 of 35.7 μM. It inhibits de novo serine synthesis in cancer cells. The compound shows inhibitory activity against both wild-type and mutant PHGDH enzymes. Its activity is typically measured using enzyme assays with purified PHGDH and substrate, as well as cell-based assays measuring serine production. These in vitro studies establish PKUMDL-WQ-2201 as a valuable tool for studying serine-dependent tumor metabolism. |
| ln Vivo |
PKUMDL-WQ-2201 (5–20 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once daily for 30 days) significantly inhibits the growth of tumors but does not alter MDA-MB-468 xenografts as compared to the probe model[1].
In vivo, PKUMDL-WQ-2201 reduces tumor growth. As a PHGDH inhibitor, it has been studied for its potential to inhibit serine-dependent tumor metabolism. However, specific in vivo protocols and results, such as efficacy in animal models, are not detailed in standard product descriptions. The compound provides a metabolic intervention strategy for studying serine-dependent tumor metabolism. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for PKUMDL-WQ-2201 measure its inhibition of PHGDH activity. PHGDH enzyme is incubated with its substrate (3-phosphoglycerate) and cofactor (NAD+) in the presence of varying concentrations of PKUMDL-WQ-2201. The production of 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate is measured, and the IC50 is determined from the dose-response curve. For PKUMDL-WQ-2201, the IC50 is 35.7 μM. The compound's allosteric mechanism is confirmed by the lack of competition with NAD+.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for PKUMDL-WQ-2201 are used to study its effects on serine synthesis in cancer cells. Cancer cells are treated with PKUMDL-WQ-2201 at various concentrations, and the levels of serine and other metabolites are measured by LC-MS/MS. Cell proliferation is assessed using standard assays such as MTT or CellTiter-Glo. The compound's ability to inhibit cell growth and reduce serine synthesis is measured. These assays confirm the compound's cellular activity as a PHGDH inhibitor.
