PQR-530 is a novel, potent, orally bioavailable and brain-penetrant dual pan-PI3K/mTORC1/2 inhibitor, it exhibits antitumor activity. PQR530 inhibited protein kinase B (PKB, pSer473) and ribosomal protein S6 (pS6, pSer235/236) phosphorylation with IC50 values of 0.07 µM. PQR530 showed excellent selectivity over a wide panel of kinases, as well as excellent selectivity versus unrelated receptor enzymes and ion channels. Moreover, PQR530 displayed potency in a panel of 44 cancer cell lines (NTRC OncolinesTM) to prevent cancer cell growth (mean value for GI50 of 426 nM). Oral application of PQR530 to mice resulted in a dose-proportional PK and demonstrated good oral bioavailability and excellent brain penetration.
| Targets |
Dual pan-class I PI3K and mTOR kinase inhibitor. (Kd for PI3Kα = 0.84 nM, mTOR = 0.33 nM; Ki for PI3Kα = 11.1 nM, mTOR = 7.4 nM). [2]

| ln Vitro |
Strong oral dual pan-PI3K/mTORC1/2 inhibitor with anti-tumor action, PQR-530 penetrates the brain. PQR-530 inhibits mTOR complex C1/2 and all PI3K isoforms with great potency and selectivity. With an IC50 value of 0.07 µM, PQR-530 suppresses the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 (pS6, pSer235/236) and protein kinase B (PKB, pSer473) in A2058 melanoma cells. With an average GI50 of 426 nM, PQR-530 has inhibitory efficacy against the development of 44 cancer cell lines[1].
PQR530 potently inhibited cellular PI3K/mTOR signaling in A2058 melanoma cells, with IC50 values of 62.2 nM for phosphorylation of PKB/Akt (Ser473) and 61.9 nM for phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 (Ser235/236). [2] In a panel of 66 cancer cell lines, PQR530 exhibited a mean half-maximal growth inhibition (GI50) of 0.43 µM. The compound acted primarily cytostatically, with cytotoxicity (LD50) observed in only about 10% of cell lines at concentrations well above the GI50. [2] The cellular sensitivity profiles of PQR530 and the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor GDC-0980 (3) across 44 tumor cell lines showed good overall correlation. [2] Compared to the pan-PI3K inhibitor PQR309 (5), PQR530 showed increased potency (2.5- to 3-fold lower average GI50 and IC50) in growth inhibition across cell lines, attributed to its enhanced mTOR inhibition. [2] In A2058 and SKOV3 cells, PQR530 effectively suppressed phosphorylation of downstream targets including PKB/Akt, GSK3β, p70S6K, and S6, confirming its dual pathway blockade. [2] |
| ln Vivo |
In an OVCAR-3 human ovarian cancer xenograft model in BALB/c nude mice, daily oral administration of PQR530 (25 mg/kg, QD) starting from day 17 post-inoculation significantly inhibited tumor growth compared to the vehicle control group. No significant body weight loss was observed in the treatment group. [2]

| Enzyme Assay |
The binding affinity (Ki) of compounds for PI3Kα and mTOR was determined using a time-resolved Förster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) assay. For PI3Kα, a His-tagged recombinant protein was used with a biotinylated anti-His antibody and europium-labeled streptavidin. The tracer was an AlexaFluor647-labeled kinase tracer. The assay buffer contained HEPES, MgCl2, EGTA, and a detergent. [2]
For mTOR, a truncated GST-fusion protein was used with a europium-labeled anti-GST antibody. The assay buffer contained HEPES, MgCl2, EGTA, and Pluronic F-127. Inhibitor Ki values were calculated from dose-response curves. [2] The selectivity profile over a wide range of kinases was assessed using a commercial kinase binding panel (KINOMEScan). Compounds were tested at a single concentration (10 µM) or in dose-response to determine binding constants. Selectivity scores S(35) and S(10) were calculated based on the fraction of kinases with activity reduced below 35% or 10% of control, respectively. [2] |
| Cell Assay |
Cellular potency for inhibiting PI3K/mTOR signaling was analyzed using an In-Cell Western assay. Cells (e.g., A2058, SKOV3) were seeded in 96-well plates, treated with inhibitors for 1 hour, then fixed. Phosphorylation of PKB/Akt on Ser473 and ribosomal S6 on Ser235/236 was detected using specific primary antibodies. Cellular tubulin was used as a loading control, detected with a mouse anti-α-tubulin antibody. Fluorescent secondary antibodies were used, and signals were quantified using an infrared imaging scanner. The percentage of remaining phospho-substrate signal was normalized to tubulin. [2]
Cell proliferation assays were performed by seeding cells in 96-well plates 24 hours before treatment. Inhibitors were added at indicated concentrations for 72 hours. Cells were then fixed, stained with Hoechst 33324, and nuclei were counted using a high-content imaging system. Dose-response curves were generated to calculate GI50 and LD50 values. [2] For a larger cell panel (66 cancer cell lines), cells were exposed to serial dilutions of PQR530 for 72 hours, and viability was assessed using a luminescence-based assay. GI50 and LD50 values were calculated by nonlinear regression fitting of the dose-response data. [2] |
| Animal Protocol |
For pharmacokinetic studies in male C57BL/6J mice, PQR530 was formulated by first dissolving in DMSO, then adding an aqueous solution of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin to achieve the final dosing solution. A single oral dose of 50 mg/kg was administered. Blood plasma, brain, and thigh muscle tissues were collected at various time points. Drug concentrations were quantified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, Tmax, t1/2, AUC, Cl) were calculated. [2]
For the OVCAR-3 xenograft efficacy study, female BALB/c nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously with tumor cells. When the mean tumor volume reached approximately 157 mm³ (day 17), mice were randomized into groups. The treatment group received PQR530 at 25 mg/kg orally, once daily (QD). The control group received vehicle. Body weight and tumor dimensions (measured by caliper) were monitored multiple times per week. Tumor volume was calculated. The study was terminated on day 45, and excised tumors were weighed. [2] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PQR530 exhibits high in vitro metabolic stability in liver microsomes of humans, rats, dogs, and mice, with >73% of the compound remaining after 30 minutes. [2] In hepatocyte cultures of the same animals, its intrinsic clearance is low, with a half-life of 142 to 250 minutes. The half-life in human hepatocytes is approximately 4.2 hours. [2] In male C57BL/6J mice, PQR530 showed good oral bioavailability after a single oral dose of 50 mg/kg. The maximum concentrations (Cmax) in plasma, brain, and muscle were reached in 0.5 hours (Tmax). The plasma half-life (t1/2) was approximately 4.7 hours. [2] It has excellent brain permeability, with higher concentrations in brain tissue than in plasma (brain/plasma distribution ratio based on Cmax and AUC is approximately 1.67). [2] Permeability assays (PAMPA, MDCK) showed that the compound has a rapid passive diffusion capability. This compound is not a substrate for P-glycoprotein transport. [2]
In brain tissue binding assays, the free fraction (fu) of this compound was approximately 8%. [2] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In a wide-range off-target effect analysis (CEREP BioPrint) at a concentration of 10 µM, PQR530 exhibited very weak competitive effects against receptors, channels, transporters, and enzymes, indicating good safety. [2]
Preliminary toxicity studies in rats and dogs determined the no-observed adverse effect dose (NOAEL). In Wistar rats, the NOAEL was 1 mg/kg/day for males and 0.5 mg/kg/day for females. In beagles, the NOAEL was 1 mg/kg/day for males and 3 mg/kg/day for females. [2] Observed side effects were consistent with the mechanism of action (PI3K/mTOR inhibition), including transient increases in plasma glucose and insulin levels in mice after administration. [2] |

| Additional Infomation |
PQR530 is a dual ATP-competitive inhibitor that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, developed based on a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of PQR309. It contains a (S)-3-methylmorpholine group and a 4-difluoromethylpyridine moiety, which contributes to its enhanced affinity for mTOR and gives it superior physicochemical properties that facilitate penetration of the blood-brain barrier. [2]
Its binding mode was elucidated by molecular modeling and X-ray crystallography (PDB ID: 6OAC), confirming its interaction with the ATP-binding pocket of PI3Kα. [2] This compound is considered a clinical candidate for cancer treatment, particularly for cancers that require penetration of the blood-brain barrier. [2] |
