MR-2088 is a reversible, ATP-competitive, and selective ULK1/2 inhibitor with pEC50 values of 8.3 and 8.7 respectively. MR-2088 effectively inhibits autophagic flux and demonstrates a synergistic antiproliferative effect with Trametinib (HY-10999) (MEK inhibitor) in vitro. MR-2088 can be used for non-small lung cell cancer (NSCLC) research.

In Vitro

MR-2088 (Compound 43) (0.005-5000 nM, 24 h) dose-dependently and specifically inhibits ULK1-mediated phosphorylation of the direct substrate ATG13 at Ser318, thereby preventing the degradation of autophagy markers p62 and LC3-II and effectively reversing starvation-induced activation of autophagic flux in H2030 cells[1].
MR-2088 (0-10 μM, 72 h) enhances the efficacy of Trametinib (HY-10999) (0-50 μM) by inhibiting ULK1/2 to block autophagy in H2030 cells (KRAS G12C mutant)[1].
MR-2088 inhibits enzymatic activity of ULK1 with a pIC50 value of 8.7 in HotSpot radioactive kinase assay and displays binding and enzymatic activity with a pIC50 value of 8.0 in NanoBRET assays in H2030 cells[1].
MR-2088 displays no significant inhibition of the hERG potassium channel (10 μM)[1].
MR-2088 (10 μM, 10 min) weakly inhibits CYP, including 1A2, 2C, 2D6, 3A4, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 with inhibition of 23%, 32%, 9%, 47%, 23.1%, 11.38%, 32.3%, 9.7%, 46.6%, respectively, in human liver microsomes[1].
MR-2088 displays good kinase selectivity inhibiting ULK2, ULK1, RET, AURKB, FLT3, ABL1 and CDK7 with pEC50 values of 8.7, 8.3, 6.7, 5.5, 5.3, <5 and <5, respectively, in NanoBRET assay[1].

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.
