    In Vitro

    Torkinib (PP 242) potently inhibits mTOR (IC50=8 nM) but is much less active against other PI3K family members. Testing of Torkinib (PP 242) against 219 protein kinases reveals remarkable selectivity relative to the protein kinome: at a concentration 100-fold above its IC50 for mTOR, Torkinib (PP 242) inhibits only one kinase by more than 90% (Ret) and only three by more than 75% (PKCα, PKCβII and JAK2V617F)[1]. Torkinib (PP 242) has a dose-dependent effect on proliferation and at higher doses is much more effective than Rapamycin at blocking cell proliferation. The ability of Torkinib (PP 242) to block cell proliferation more efficiently than Rapamycin could be a result of its ability to inhibit mTORC1 and mTORC2, because Rapamycin can only inhibit mTORC1. In SIN1-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), Rapamycin is also less effective at blocking cell proliferation than Torkinib. That Torkinib (PP 242) and Rapamycin exhibit very different anti-proliferative effects in SIN1-/- MEFs suggests that the two compounds differentially affect mTORC1[2].

    In Vivo

    In fat and liver, Torkinib (PP 242) is able to completely inhibit the phosphorylation of Akt at S473 and T308, consistent with its effect on these phosphorylation sites observed in cell culture. Surprisingly, Torkinib (PP 242) is only partially able to inhibit the phosphorylation of Akt in skeletal muscle and is more effective at inhibiting the phosphorylation of T308 than S473, despite it's ability to fully inhibit the phosphorylation of 4EBP1 and S6. These results will be confirmed by in vivo dose-response experiments, but, consistent with the partial effect of Torkinib (PP 242) on pAkt in skeletal muscle, a muscle-specific knockout of the integral mTORC2 component rictor resulted in only a partial loss of Akt phosphorylation at S473. These results suggest that a kinase other than mTOR, such as DNA-PK, may contribute to phosphorylation of Akt in muscle[2].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.11 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.11 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    Cell Assay
    [2]

    Wild-type and SIN1-/- MEFs are plated in 96-well plates at approximately 30% confluence and left overnight to adhere. The following day cells are treated with Torkinib (PP 242) (1 nM, 10 nM, 100 nM, 1 μM, and 10 μM), Rapamycin, or vehicle (0.1% DMSO). After 72 h of treatment, 10 μL of 440 μM resazurin sodium salt is added to each well, and after 18 h, the florescence intensity in each well is measured using a top-reading florescent plate reader with excitation at 530 nm and emission at 590 nm[2].

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    Mice[2]
    Six-wk-old male C57BL/6 mice are fasted overnight prior to drug treatment. Torkinib (PP 242) (0.4 mg), Rapamycin (0.1 mg), or vehicle alone is injected IP. After 30 min for the Rapamycin-treated mouse or 10 min for the Torkinib (PP 242) and vehicle-treated mice, 250 mU of insulin in 100 μL of saline is injected IP. 15 min after the insulin injection, the mice are killed by CO2 asphyxiation followed by cervical dislocation. Tissues are harvested and frozen on liquid nitrogen in 200 μL of cap lysis buffer. The frozen tissue is thawed on ice, manually disrupted with a mortar and pestle, and then further processed with a micro tissue-homogenizer. Protein concentration of the cleared lysate is measured by Bradford assay and 5-10 μg of protein is analyzed by Western blot[2].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
