RMC-5552 is a potent and selective mTORC1 inhibitor. RMC-5552 inhibits phosphorylation of mTORC1 pS6K and p4EBP1 with IC50s of 0.14 nM and 0.48 nM, respectively. RMC-5552 shows much lower pAKT inhibition (IC50 of 19 nM), resulting in mTORC1/mTORC2 selectivity approaching 40-fold. RMC-5552 has anti-cancer activity.

    Description

    RMC-5552 is a potent and selective mTORC1 inhibitor. RMC-5552 inhibits phosphorylation of mTORC1 pS6K and p4EBP1 with IC50s of 0.14 nM and 0.48 nM, respectively. RMC-5552 shows much lower pAKT inhibition (IC50 of 19 nM), resulting in mTORC1/mTORC2 selectivity approaching 40-fold. RMC-5552 has anti-cancer activity[1].

    mTORC1

     

    In Vitro

    The presence of FKBP12, whose recruitment would only be observed in the presence of the FKBP12-FRB allosteric modality of RMC-5552. Density for RMC-5552 is evident at the interface between FKBP12 and the FRB domain of mTOR. RMC-5552 makes hydrogen bonds to the backbone of G2238 and V2240, the “hinge” of mTOR, via the 4-aminopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine core, and the 2-aminobenzoxazole makes hydrogen-bonding interactions to E2190 and K2187[1].

    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: 5 mg/mL (2.81 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 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% Corn Oil

      Solubility: 5 mg/mL (2.81 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (50.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

    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.
