Bioactivity | Rheb inhibitor NR1 is a Rheb inhibitor with an IC50 of 2.1 µM in the Rheb-IVK assay. Rheb inhibitor NR1 can directly bind Rheb in the switch II domain and selectively inhibit the activation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Rheb inhibitor NR1 inhibits the phosphorylation of mTORC1 driven T389pS6K1 and increases the phosphorylation of S473pAKT in a dose-dependent manner. Rheb inhibitor NR1 does not influence mTORC2 activity[1].(Rheb-IVK: Rheb-dependent mTORC1 kinase activity) | ||||||||||||
Target | Rheb, mTORC1 | ||||||||||||
Invitro | NR1 (1-10 μM; 48 h) reduces the size of Jurkat cells[1].NR1 (0.37-30 μM; 90 min for MCF-7 and TRI102; 24 h for PC3) inhibits the phosphorylation of T389pS6K1 and increases the phosphorylation of S473pAKT in MCF-7, TRI102 and PC3 cells[1].NR1 (1-30 μM; 2.5 h) reduced protein synthesis in MCF-7[1].

In Vivo | NR1 (30 mg/kg; IP; single dosage) significantly reduces mTORC1 activity in both kidney and skeletal muscle, and exhibited a clear band shift for T37/464E-BP1 in skeletal muscle[1]. Animal Model: | ||||||||||||
