Name | RapaLink-1 |
---|
Description | RapaLink-1, the third-generation bivalent mTOR inhibitor, combines Rapamycin with MLN0128 (a second-generation mTOR kinase inhibitor) by an inert chemical linker. RapaLink-1 shows better efficacy than Rapamycin or mTOR kinase inhibitors (TORKi), potently blocking cancer-derived, activating mutants of mTOR. RapaLink-1 can cross the blood-brain barrier. RapaLink-1 binding to FKBP12 results in targeted and durable inhibition of mTORC1. Anticancer activity[1][2]. |

In Vitro | RapaLink-1 (0-200 nM; 3 days) shows U87MG cells growth inhibition[1]. RapaLink-1 (0-12.5 nM; 48 hours) arrests U87MG cells at G0/G1[1]. RapaLink-1 selectively inhibits p-RPS6S235/236 and p-4EBP1T37/46 at doses as low as 1.56 nM[1]. RapaLink-1 exploits the unique juxtaposition of two drug-binding pockets to create a bivalent interaction. RapaLink-1 overcomes resistance to existing first- and second-generation inhibitors[3]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: U87MG cells Concentration: 0-200 nM Incubation Time: 3 days Result: Showed growth inhibition. Cell Cycle Analysis[1] Cell Line: U87MG cells Concentration: 0-12.5 nM Incubation Time: 48 hours Result: Arrested cells at G0/G1. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: U87MG cells Concentration: 0.39-12.5 nM Incubation Time: 3 hours Result: Selectively inhibited p-RPS6S235/236 and p-4EBP1T37/46 at doses as low as 1.56 nM. The mTORC2 targets p-AKTS473, p-SGK1S78, and p-NDRG1T346, and the p-AKTS473 target p-GSK3βS9 was inhibited only at high doses. |
In Vivo | RapaLink-1 (i.p.; every 5 days for 25 days, then once a week for 11 week) shows potent anti-tumor efficacy[1]. Animal Model: BALB/ Cnu/nu mice bearing U87MG intracranial xenografts[1] Dosage: 1.5 mg/kg Administration: I.p.; every 5 days for 25 days, then once a week for 11 week Result: Led to initial regression and subsequent stabilization of tumor size. |
