WYE-132(Cat No.:I000541)is a potent and selective inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), specifically targeting both mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes. By inhibiting mTOR signaling, WYE-132 disrupts critical cellular processes such as growth, proliferation, and survival, making it a valuable tool in cancer research. Its dual inhibition enhances its potential to overcome resistance mechanisms found in tumors treated with traditional mTOR inhibitors. WYE-132 is used in preclinical studies to explore its therapeutic effects on various cancers and its role in regulating metabolic and immune pathways.

Beyond rapalog therapy: preclinical pharmacology and antitumor activity of WYE-125132, an ATP-competitive and specific inhibitor of mTORC1 and mTORC2.Yu K,Shi C,Toral-Barza L,Lucas J,Shor B,Kim JE,Zhang WG,Mahoney R,Gaydos C,Tardio L,Kim SK,Conant R,Curran K,Kaplan J,Verheijen J,Ayral-Kaloustian S,Mansour TS,Abraham RT,Zask A,Gibbons JJ, PMID: 20068177 DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-09-2340 </br><span>Abstract:</span> The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a major component of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway that is dysregulated in 50% of all human malignancies. Rapamycin and its analogues (rapalogs) partially inhibit mTOR through allosteric binding to mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) but not mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2), an emerging player in cancer. Here, we report WYE-125132 (WYE-132), a highly potent, ATP-competitive, and specific mTOR kinase inhibitor (IC(50): 0.19 +/- 0.07 nmol/L; >5,000-fold selective versus PI3Ks). WYE-132 inhibited mTORC1 and mTORC2 in diverse cancer models in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, consistent with genetic ablation of mTORC2, WYE-132 targeted P-AKT(S473) and AKT function without significantly reducing the steady-state level of the PI3K/PDK1 activity biomarker P-AKT(T308), highlighting a prominent and direct regulation of AKT by mTORC2 in cancer cells. Compared with the rapalog temsirolimus/CCI-779, WYE-132 elicited a substantially stronger inhibition of cancer cell growth and survival, protein synthesis, cell size, bioenergetic metabolism, and adaptation to hypoxia. Oral administration of WYE-132 to tumor-bearing mice showed potent single-agent antitumor activity against MDA361 breast, U87MG glioma, A549 and H1975 lung, as well as A498 and 786-O renal tumors. An optimal dose of WYE-132 achieved a substantial regression of MDA361 and A549 large tumors and caused complete regression of A498 large tumors when coadministered with bevacizumab. Our results further validate mTOR as a critical driver for tumor growth, establish WYE-132 as a potent and profound anticancer agent, and provide a strong rationale for clinical development of specific mTOR kinase inhibitors as new cancer therapy.
