Product Description
MRT68921 HCl is a potent inhibitor of ULK1 and ULK2 with IC50s of 2.9 nM and 1.1 nM respectively.
MRT68921 hydrochloride (CAS#: 2070014-87-6) is a potent inhibitor of both ULK1 and ULK2 with IC₅₀ values of 2.9 nM and 1.1 nM, respectively. With a molecular weight of 471.04 and molecular formula C₂₅H₃₅ClN₆O, this compound is the most effective inhibitor of ULK1 and ULK2 identified to date, reducing the IC₅₀ for both kinases by more than 15- and 30-fold, respectively. MRT68921 hydrochloride can block cellular autophagy and kill tumor cells by breaking the balance of oxidative stress signals.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MRT68921 hydrochloride targets ULK1 (unc-51-like autophagy activating kinase 1) and ULK2, which are serine/threonine protein kinases that play essential roles in the initiation of autophagy. ULK1 and ULK2 are key components of the autophagy initiation complex, and their activation is required for the formation of autophagosomes. By potently inhibiting ULK1 and ULK2 with IC₅₀ values of 2.9 nM and 1.1 nM, respectively, MRT68921 hydrochloride effectively blocks autophagy in cells, leading to disruption of cellular homeostasis and induction of cell death.
ln Vitro
The serine/threonine protein kinase ULK1 is necessary for autophagy's early phases. MRT68921 prevents autophagy in cells and inhibits ULK1 and ULK2 in vitro. The most effective inhibitor of ULK1 and ULK2, MRT68921, reduces the IC50 for both ULK1 (2.9 nm) and ULK2 (1.1 nm) by more than 15 and 30 times, respectively. This compound's particular capacity to suppress autophagy is made possible by ULK1. The buildup of early autophagosome structures that have stalled due to ULK1 inhibition suggests that ULK1 is involved in the maturation and initiation of autophagosomes [1].
In vitro, MRT68921 hydrochloride potently inhibits ULK1 and ULK2 with IC₅₀ values of 2.9 nM and 1.1 nM, respectively. The compound prevents autophagy in cells and inhibits ULK1 and ULK2 in vitro. MRT68921 hydrochloride is the most effective inhibitor of ULK1 and ULK2, reducing the IC₅₀ for both ULK1 and ULK2 by more than 15 and 30 times, respectively. The compound's ability to inhibit autophagy is mediated through ULK1, and it can kill tumor cells by breaking the balance of oxidative stress signals.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for MRT68921 hydrochloride are limited. Based on its potent in vitro inhibition of ULK1 and ULK2 and its ability to block autophagy and kill tumor cells, the compound is expected to demonstrate antitumor efficacy in animal models of cancer. Typical in vivo studies for ULK inhibitors involve administration to tumor-bearing mouse models, with assessment of tumor growth inhibition, autophagy markers, and survival.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cellular in vitro enzyme assays, MRT68921 hydrochloride is evaluated for its inhibitory activity against purified ULK1 and ULK2 kinases. The compound is incubated with ULK1 or ULK2, ATP, and a substrate peptide in kinase buffer. The phosphorylation of the substrate is measured using radioactive labeling, fluorescence, or antibody-based detection methods. The IC₅₀ values are determined from dose-response curves, with values of 2.9 nM for ULK1 and 1.1 nM for ULK2.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, MRT68921 hydrochloride is tested in various cell lines to assess its effects on autophagy and cell viability. Cells are treated with serial dilutions of the compound, and autophagy is assessed by measuring LC3-II levels (a marker of autophagosome formation) and p62 levels (a marker of autophagic flux) by Western blot. Cell viability is measured using standard assays. The compound's ability to kill tumor cells by breaking the balance of oxidative stress signals may be assessed by measuring reactive oxygen species levels.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies, MRT68921 hydrochloride would typically be evaluated in xenograft mouse models of cancer. Mice bearing established tumors are treated with the compound at various doses via intraperitoneal or oral administration. Tumor volumes are measured regularly, and autophagy markers (LC3-II, p62) are assessed in tumor tissues at study endpoint. Body weight and general health are monitored to evaluate tolerability.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for MRT68921 hydrochloride are limited. As a small-molecule kinase inhibitor with a molecular weight of 471.04, it is expected to have moderate oral bioavailability and tissue distribution. The compound is soluble in DMSO and can be formulated for in vivo administration. Further pharmacokinetic studies would be needed to determine its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion profile. The compound is for research use only and not for human use.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for MRT68921 hydrochloride are limited. As a potent ULK1/ULK2 inhibitor that blocks autophagy, the compound may have on-target toxicities related to the essential role of autophagy in maintaining cellular homeostasis in various tissues. Comprehensive toxicology studies including acute and repeat-dose toxicity, genotoxicity, and organ-specific toxicity assessments would be required for therapeutic development. The compound is for research use only and not for human use.
