ULK1-IN-4 (compound 12i) is a ULK1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 4.7 μM against human ULK1, and it exhibits selectivity for Aurora A/Aurora B kinases. ULK1-IN-4 forms a covalent bond with the thiol group of the Cys182 residue of ULK1, thereby inhibiting the kinase activity of ULK1. ULK1-IN-4 inhibits the growth of colorectal cancer cells and exerts tumor-suppressive activity in a mouse model of colorectal cancer.

Description

ULK1-IN-4 (compound 12i) is a ULK1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 4.7 μM against human ULK1, and it exhibits selectivity for Aurora A/Aurora B kinases. ULK1-IN-4 forms a covalent bond with the thiol group of the Cys182 residue of ULK1, thereby inhibiting the kinase activity of ULK1. ULK1-IN-4 inhibits the growth of colorectal cancer cells and exerts tumor-suppressive activity in a mouse model of colorectal cancer[1].

In Vitro

ULK1-IN-4 (compound 12i) (5-10 μM; 24-48 h) inhibits the migratory capacity of SW620, HCT116, and CT26 CRC cells in a dose-dependent manner after 24 and 48 h of treatment[1].
ULK1-IN-4 (5-10 μM; 24 h) inhibits the migratory capacity of SW620, HCT116, and CT26 CRC cells after 24 h of treatment, and increases E-cadherin expression[1].
ULK1-IN-4 (10 μM; 48 h) exerts pharmacological effects, including cell cycle arrest, migration inhibition, autophagy suppression, and apoptosis induction, that are dependent on ULK1 targeting in SW620 CRC cells[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.
