The inhibitory effects of Vistusertib (AZD2014) are measured against isolated recombinant mTOR enzyme (IC50 of 2.81 nM) as well as in cellular assays measuring both mTORC1 and mTORC2 activities. In MDAMB468 cells, Vistusertib (AZD2014) decreases the phosphorylation of the mTORC1 substrate ribosomal protein S6 (Ser235/236) with a mean IC50 value of 210 nM and the mTORC2 substrate AKT (Ser473) with a mean IC50 value of 78 nM[1].

Protocol
Mice[1]
MCF7 experiments: 5×106 MCF7 cells are injected s.c. in a volume of 0.1 mL in male SCID mice and are randomized into control and treatment groups when tumor size reach 0.2 cm3. Vistusertib (AZD2014) is dissolved in captisol, and diluted to a final captisol concentration of 30% (w/v). Vistusertib (AZD2014) is administered by oral gavage (0.1 mL/10 g body weight). The control group receive vehicle only. Tumor volumes (measured by calliper), animal body weight and condition are recorded twice weekly for the duration of the study. The tumor volume is calculated (taking length to be the longest diameter across and width to be the corresponding perpendicular diameter) using the formula: (length×width)×√(length×width)×(π/6).
