ATI-1
ATI-1 is an autophagy initiation inhibitor. ATI-1 targets valosin-containing protein (VCP/p97, disrupts its interaction with UFL1, impairs UFMylation homeostasis associated with VCP, promotes polyubiquitination and degradation of Beclin1, and blocks the formation of early autophagosomes. ATI-1 induces synergistic death of autophagy-dependent malignant tumor cells under nutrient deprivation conditions, accompanied by decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, reduced ROS levels and lysosomal stress. ATI-1 exhibits anti-tumor efficacy in a pancreatic adenocarcinoma xenograft mouse model. ATI-1 can be used for the research of pancreatic adenocarcinoma and lung cancer.

Biological Activity
ATI-1 (10 μM; 20 h, plus 20 μM CQ final 4 h) potently inhibits autophagosome formation in HeLa cells[1].
ATI-1 (5-20 μM; 24 h, plus 10 μM for 2 h under EBSS starvation) inhibits autophagy initiation in HeLa cells by reducing Beclin1 protein levels and suppressing autophagosome formation, with dose-dependent reductions in LC3II levels at 5, 10, 20 μM over 24 h, and paradoxical LC3II accumulation under starvation that does not reflect functional autophagosome formation[1].
ATI-1 (5-20 μM; 48 h, plus CQ co-treatment) robustly inhibits autophagy initiation in autophagy-addicted NCI-H1299 and MIA PaCa-2 cells by reducing Beclin1 protein levels, with dose-dependent reductions in LC3II levels at 5, 10, 20 μM over 48 h, and suppressed autophagosome formation in MIA PaCa-2 cells when combined with CQ[1].
ATI-1 (20 μM; 48-72 h) selectively inhibits proliferation, clonogenic capacity, migration, and invasion of autophagy-addicted NCI-H1299 and MIA PaCa-2 cells, with greater potency than in less autophagy-dependent HeLa cells[1].
ATI-1 (30 μM; 24 h) disrupts the VCP-UFL1 interaction, reduces VCP UFMylation, weakens the VCP-Beclin1 interaction, and selectively impairs specific VCP cofactor interactions (VCP-ATXN3, VCP-NPLOC4) in HeLa cells[1].
ATI-1 (3.13-50 μM) directly binds to purified full-length VCP (Kd = 25.1 μM) and purified VCP N-terminal domain (Kd = 32.5 μM) with measurable affinity[1].
ATI-1 (20 μM; 48 h) induces G1-phase arrest but does not trigger significant apoptosis in autophagy-addicted NCI-H1299 and MIA PaCa-2 cells[1].
ATI-1 (5-10 μM; 2-24 h) exacerbates metabolic vulnerability of autophagy-addicted NCI-H1299 and MIA PaCa-2 cells under EBSS-induced nutrient deprivation, leading to non-apoptotic cell death, reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, lower ROS levels, and lysosomal stress, with 5 μM ATI-1 reducing cell viability by ~50-70% over 24 h when combined with starvation[1].
