Background
WYE-687 is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of mTOR with IC50 value of 7nM [1].WYE-687 is a small-molecule pyrazolopyrimidine inhibitor of mTOR1 and mTOR2. In the immune-complex kinase assay using His6-AKT and His6-S6K as the specific substrates of mTOR1 and mTOR2, WYE-687 prevents mTOR from phosphorylating the substrates dose-dependently. Besides that, WYE-687 is found to highly selective against PI3Kα (>100-fold) and PI3Kγ (>500-fold) as well as 24 other protein kinases. It is found that WYE-687 can suppress cell growth via causing a strong G1 arrest in cell cycle in tumor cell lines including MDA361 and HCT116. WYE-687 also affects the angiogenic factor of cancer cells. It reduces the expression of HIF-1α in U87MG, MDA361 and LNCap cells [1].
