WYE-687 is an ATP-competitive mTOR inhibitor with an IC50 of 7 nM. WYE-687 concurrently inhibits activation of mTORC1 and mTORC2. WYE-687 also inhibits PI3Kα and PI3Kγ with IC50s of 81 nM and 3.11 μM, respectively.
In the DELFIA measuring His6-S6K1 T389 phosphorylation, WYE-687 inhibits recombinant mTOR enzyme with an IC50 of 7 nM[1]. HL-60 AML cells are treated with applied concentrations of WYE-687 (33-1000 nM), MTT cell survival assay results demonstrate that WYE-687 potently inhibits HL-60 cell survival in a dose-dependent manner. A time dependent response by WYE-687 is also noticed. The number of dead (“trypan blue” positive) HL-60 cells is significantly increased following applied WYE-687 (100-1000 nM) treatment. At the meantime, HL-60 cell proliferation, tested by [H3] Thymidine integration assay, is also inhibited by the WYE-687. Results show that WYE-687 is also antisurvival (“cytotoxic”) to the other AML cell lines: U937, THP-1 and AML-193[2].
U937 cells are inoculated into the flanks of SCID/beige mice. When xenografted tumors reach a volume around 100 mm3, mice are orally administrated with either vehicle control (5% ethanol, 2% Tween 80, and 5% polyethylene glycol-400) or WYE-687 (5 or 25 mg/kg) daily for a total of 7 days. The WYE-687 regimen utilized in this study is based on preexperimental results and related studies. WYE-687 administration (5 or 25 mg/kg, daily) significantly inhibits U937 xenograft tumor growth in SCID mice, and the in vivo activity by WYE-687 is dose-dependent. At day 15, the 5 mg/kg WYE-687-treated tumors and 25 mg/kg WYE-687-treated tumors are 50% and 75% smaller than the vehicle control tumors, respectively. Tumor weights of WYE-687-treated mice are also significantly lower than that of vehicle group. Oral administration of WYE-687 potently inhibits U937 leukemic xenograft tumor growth in SCID mice, without causing significant toxicities[2].
