| Targets |
RapaLink-1 targets the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). It binds to FKBP12, which results in targeted and durable inhibition of mTORC1. By combining Rapamycin and MLN0128, it creates a bivalent interaction that effectively blocks cancer-derived mTOR activation mutants. This dual mechanism allows it to overcome resistance seen with first-generation mTOR inhibitors.

| ln Vitro |
RapaLink-1 (0-200 nM; 3 days) inhibits U87MG cell proliferation [1]. In 48 hours, RapaLink-1 (0–12.5 nM) arrests U87MG cells at G0/G1[1]. At dosages as low as 1.56 nM, RapaLink-1 selectively suppresses p-RPS6S235/236 and p-4EBP1T37/46 [1]. By causing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, Rapalink-1 (100 nM; 24 to 96 hours) suppresses the proliferation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells [2]. RapaLink-1 generates bivalent connections by taking advantage of the distinct arrangement of two drug-binding pockets. Resistance to current first- and second-generation inhibitors is addressed by RapaLink-1 [3].
In vitro, RapaLink-1 inhibits cancer cell progression. It arrests U87MG cells at G0/G1 in 48 hours. It suppresses the proliferation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells. It shows superior efficacy in inhibiting both wild-type and mutant forms of mTOR compared to other inhibitors. |
| ln Vivo |
Intraperitoneal injection RapaLink-1, administered every five days for 25 days, and thereafter weekly for 11 weeks, has demonstrated strong anti-tumor activity [1].
In vivo, RapaLink-1 has demonstrated anticancer activity. It has shown efficacy against resistant mutants of malignant brain tumors. It plays an antithrombotic role in antiphospholipid syndrome by improving autophagy. Its binding to FKBP12 results in targeted and durable inhibition of mTORC1. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular assays for RapaLink-1 involve measuring its inhibition of mTOR kinase activity. These assays use recombinant mTOR and a peptide substrate. The enzyme is incubated with the substrate and ATP in the presence of varying concentrations of RapaLink-1. The phosphorylation of the substrate is measured to determine the IC50. Its binding to FKBP12 can be assessed using surface plasmon resonance (SPR).

| Cell Assay |
Cell Proliferation Assay[1]
Cell Types: U87MG Cell Tested Concentrations: 0-200 nM Incubation Duration: 3 days Experimental Results: demonstrated growth inhibition. Cell cycle analysis[1] Cell Types: U87MG Cell Tested Concentrations: 0-12.5 nM Incubation Duration: 48 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: G0/G1 cell arrest. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: U87MG Cell Tested Concentrations: 0.39-12.5 nM Incubation Duration: 3 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Selective inhibition of p-RPS6S235/236 and p-4EBP1T37/46 at doses as low as 1.56 nM. mTORC2 targets p-AKTS473, p-SGK1S78 and p-NDRG1T346, and p-AKTS473 target p-GSK3βS9 is inhibited only at high doses. In vitro cellular assays for RapaLink-1 are conducted in cancer cell lines such as U87MG and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells. Cells are treated with the compound, and cell cycle analysis is performed by flow cytometry. Cell proliferation is measured using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. The phosphorylation of mTOR downstream targets (e.g., S6K1, 4E-BP1) is measured by Western blot to confirm pathway inhibition. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: BALB/Cnu/nu (nude) mice bearing U87MG intracranial xenografts [1]
Doses: 1.5 mg/kg Route of Administration: intraperitoneal (ip) injection; every 5 days for 25 days, then weekly for 11 Weekly Experimental Results: Resulting in initial regression and subsequent stabilization of tumor size. In vivo animal experiments with RapaLink-1 are conducted in mouse xenograft models of cancer, particularly for malignant brain tumors. Tumor-bearing mice are administered RapaLink-1, and tumor growth is monitored. Tumor tissues are harvested for analysis of mTOR pathway inhibition and apoptosis markers. Its effects on thrombosis can be studied in models of antiphospholipid syndrome. |
